D.L. Moody
A holy life will make the deepest impression. Lighthouses blow no horns; they just shine.
D.L. Moody
A. W. Tozer
For not only does sound reason direct us to refuse the guidance of those who do or teach anything wrong, but it is by all means vital for the lover of truth, regardless of the threat of death, to choose to do and say what is right even before saving his own life.
A. W. Tozer
Edward Welch, When People are Big and God is Small, 1997, p. 204.
Persons searching for their gifts think that they can “find” their gifts in isolation from the body. They have forgotten that the orientation of God’s people is outward rather than inward. The question should be this: How can I grow in love for and service to the body of Christ? Gifts are the way we naturally love and serve. To paraphrase Augustine, if you want to know your God-given gifts, first know that the purpose of spiritual gifts is to bring unity to the church. Then “love God and do what you feel like doing.”
Edward Welch, When People are Big and God is Small, 1997, p. 204.
Dann Spader, Growing a Healthy Church, Moody, 1991, p. 18.
A disciple is literally a follower, a pupil, a learner, an apprentice. He is one who has dedicated not only to follow his master but also to become like Him.
Dann Spader, Growing a Healthy Church, Moody, 1991, p. 18.
Le pardon doit être immédiat, que la personne le demande ou non. La confiance doit être reconstruite au fil du temps. La confiance nécessite des antécédents. Si quelqu'un vous fait du mal à plusieurs reprises, Dieu vous commande de lui pardonner instantanément, mais vous n'êtes pas censé lui faire confiance immédiatement, et vous n'êtes pas censé continuer à lui permettre de vous faire du mal.
Rick Warren, What On Earth Am I Here for?
Forgiveness must be immediate, whether or not a person asks for it. Trust must be rebuilt over time. Trust requires a track record. If someone hurts you repeatedly, you are commanded by God to forgive them instantly, but you are not expected to trust them immediately, and you are not expected to continue allowing them to hurt you.
Rick Warren, What On Earth Am I Here for?
J.C. Ryle
When all earthly glory is passed away then shall this church be presented without spot before God the Father’s throne. Thrones, principalities, and powers upon earth shall come to nothing; dignities, and offices, and endowments shall all pass away; but the Church of the first-born shall shine as the stars at the last, and be presented with joy before the Father’s throne, in the day of Christ’s appearing. When the Lord’s jewels are made up, and manifestation of the sons of God takes place, Episcopacy, and Presbyterianism, and Congregationalism will not be mentioned; one Church only will be named, and that is the Church of the elect.
J.C. Ryle
A.H. Strong
The steamship whose machinery is broken may be brought into port and made fast to the dock. She is safe, but not sound. Repairs may last a long time. Christ designs to make us both safe and sound. Justification gives the first – safety; sanctification gives the second – soundness.
A.H. Strong
Si vous aviez mille couronnes, vous devriez les mettre toutes sur la tête du Christ ! Et si vous aviez mille langues, elles devraient toutes chanter sa louange, car il en est digne !"
William Tiptaft
If you had a thousand crowns you should put them all on the head of Christ! And if you had a thousand tongues they should all sing his praise, for he is worthy!"
William Tiptaft
Billy Graham
Everything in the universe—absolutely everything—owes its existence to God.
Billy Graham
C.S. Lewis
Someone has said, “None are so unholy as those whose hands are cauterized with holy things;” sacred things may become profane by becoming matters of the job… I’ve always been glad myself that Theology is not the thing I earn my living by.
C.S. Lewis
ST. FRANCOIS D'ASSISE (1182-1226)
FONDATEUR ITALIEN DE L'ORDRE FRANCISCAIN
Above all the grace and the gifts that Christ gives to His beloved is that of overcoming self.
ST. FRANCIS OF ASSISI (1182–1226)
ITALIAN FOUNDER OF THE FRANCISCAN ORDER
Helen Keller (1880-1968)
ÉCRIVAINE ET RÉFORMATRICE SOCIAL AMÉRICAIN
(AVEUGLE ET SOURD DEPUIS L'ÂGE DE 19 MOIS)
Unless we form the habit of going to the Bible in bright moments as well as in trouble, we cannot fully respond to its consolations because we lack equilibrium between light and darkness.
Helen Keller (1880–1968)

(BLIND AND DEAF FROM THE AGE OF 19 MONTHS)
JACQUES MARITAIN (1882-1973) PHILOSOPHE FRANÇAIS
Christianity taught men that love is worth more than intelligence.
JACQUES MARITAIN (1882–1973) FRENCH PHILOSOPHER
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
The ultimate test of my understanding of the scriptural teaching is the amount of time I spend in prayer. As theology is ultimately the knowledge of God, the more theology I know, the more it should drive me to seek to know God. Not to know “about” Him but to know Him! The whole object of salvation is to bring me to knowledge of God… If all my knowledge does not lead me to prayer there is something wrong somewhere.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
John Piper, Desiring God, 1996, p. 11,
This is the great business of life – to “put our mouths out of taste for those pleasures with which the tempter baits his hooks.” I know of no other way to triumph over sin long-term, than to gain a distaste for it, because of a superior satisfaction in God.
John Piper, Desiring God, 1996, p. 11.
Jonathan Leeman
Christians possess a special power and corporate identity when formally assembled. Paul writes of when the Corinthians church is “assembled…and the power of our Lord Jesus is present” (1 Cor. 5:4). Later in the letter he refers to when they “come together as a church” (1 Cor. 11:18), as if they are somehow more “a church” when together than apart.
Jonathan Leeman
FRANCIS A. SCHAEFFER (1912-1984) PASTEUR ET ORATEUR AMÉRICAIN PRESBYTÉRIEN
Because of lack of fortitude and faithfulness on the part of God’s people, God’s Word has many times been allowed to be bent, to conform to the surrounding, passing, changing culture of that moment rather than to stand as the inerrant Word of God judging the form of the world spirit and the surrounding culture of that moment.
FRANCIS A. SCHAEFFER (1912–1984) AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN MINISTER AND SPEAKER
Robert Murray McCheyne
The purest joy in the world is joy in Christ Jesus. When the Spirit is poured down, His people get very near and clear views of the Lord Jesus. They eat His flesh and drink His blood. They come to a personal cleaving to the Lord. They taste that the Lord is gracious. His blood and righteousness appear infinitely perfect, full, and free to their souls. They sit under His shadow with great delight. They rest in the cleft of the rock. Their defense is the munitions of rocks. They lean on the Beloved. They find infinite strength in Him for the use of their soul - grace for grace - all they can need in any hour of trial and suffering to the very end.
Robert Murray McCheyne
Matthew Henry
Peace is such a precious jewel that I would give anything for it but truth.
Matthew Henry
