Lorsque la main de la foi s'ouvre pour saisir Christ
samedi 14 août 2004
Pas de magie.
John MacArthur
The Word, watchfulness, prayerfulness. That’s it. No magic. That’s how you deal with [temptation]. Pour the Word in. Stay alert. Understand what’s going on around you by way of temptation. Be discerning and fall prostrate before God and cry out for His power. That’s the path to triumph. Then you can rise and walk to face the foe as [Jesus] did [in Gethsemane].
John MacArthur

Jésus a nettoyé la souffrance
E. Stanley Jones, Christ and Human Suffering, Abingdon, 1933, p. 192-193.
He cleansed suffering! It was no longer a sign of our being caught in the wheel of existence, as Buddha suggests; no longer the result of our evil deeds of a previous birth, as our Hindu friends tell us; no longer the sign of the displeasure of God, as many of all ages and of all religions have suggested; no longer something to be stoically and doggedly borne. It is more than that. Suffering is the gift of God.

Un livre riche
Certains livres sont en cuivre, d'autres en argent, et quelques-uns en or ; mais la Bible seule est comme un livre tout fait de billets de banque.
JOHN NEWTON (1725-1807) AUTEUR DE CANTIQUES ÉVANGÉLIQUES ET ANCIEN MARCHAND D'ESCLAVES
Some books are copper, some are silver, and some few are gold: but the Bible alone is like a book all made up of bank notes.

Il faut nous rappeler qu'il y a un enfer et un ciel
J.C. Ryle, Commentaire : Matthew 3.
We need to be straitly warned, that it is no light matter whether we repent or not. We need to be reminded, that there is a hell as well as a heaven, and an everlasting punishment for the wicked, as well as everlasting life for the godly. We are fearfully apt to forget this. We talk of the love and mercy of God, and we do not remember sufficiently His justness and holiness. Let us be very careful on this point. It is no real kindness to keep back the terrors of the Lord. It is good for us all to be taught that it is possible to be lost forever, and that all unconverted people are hanging over the brink of the pit.
J.C. Ryle, Commentary: Matthew 3.

La plus grande des merveilles
B.B. Warfield
The marvel of marvels is not that God, in His infinite love, has not elected all this guilty race to be saved, but that He has elected any.

Une guerre spirituelle
John Piper
A Christian is not a person who experiences no bad desires. A Christian is a person who is at war with those desires by the power of the Spirit. Conflict in your soul is not all bad. Even though we long for the day when our flesh will be utterly defunct and only pure and loving desires will fill our hearts, yet there is something worse than the war within between flesh and Spirit – namely, no war within because the flesh controls the citadel and all the outposts. Praise God for the war within! Serenity in sin is death. The Spirit has landed to do battle with the flesh. So take heart if your soul feels like a battlefield at times. The sign of whether you are indwelt by the Spirit is not that you have no bad desires, but that you are at war with them!

Lorsque les chrétiens se réunissent
Mary Winslow
When Christians meet together, do they not talk too much about religion, preachers, and sermons? I cannot but think, that if they communed less about religion, and more of Jesus, it would give a higher tone of spirituality to their conversation, and prove more refreshing to the soul. He would then oftener draw near, and make Himself one in their midst, and talk with them by the way.

L'efficacité de la prédication
Curtis Thomas, Practical Wisdom for Pastors, Crossway Books, 2001, p. 244.
Ultimately, of course, the effectiveness of preaching is the work of the Spirit. The most expertly crafted and powerfully delivered sermon imaginable will accomplish nothing if He does not act to persuade and enable the hearer to respond to the truth. But at the same time, we must also remember that the Spirit does not act in a vacuum. Ordinarily, He uses means, and preaching which employs all the rhetorical devices within the preacher’s ability is one of those means.

La souffrance
John Piper
Suffering is intended by God to bring to our attention and make us feel what is true all the time, namely, that we are finite creatures absolutely dependent on God for absolutely everything. God’s will is that we know it, feel it, and live like it.

La corde de la prière
Charles H. Spurgeon
Why, see what accumulated force there is in prayer, when one after another pours out his vehement desires; when many seem to be tugging at the rope; when many seem to be knocking mercy’s gate; when the mighty cries of many burning hearts come up to heaven. When, my beloved, you go and shake the very gates thereof with the powerful battering-ram of a holy vehemence, and sacred importunity, then is it that the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence. When first one, and then another, and yet another, throws his whole soul into the prayer, the kingdom of heaven is conquered and the victory becomes great indeed.
Charles H. Spurgeon

Un nouvel espoir
Jerry Bridges, The Gospel for Real Life, 2002, p. 108.
The war is over. The alienation and divine displeasure toward us because of our sin have been removed. We are no longer objects of wrath. We have peace with God whether we realize it or not. However, to the extent that we understand and believe the truth regarding justification, we will experience a subjective peace – that is, a sense of peace within our souls. We will know that we have been bought from a state of condemnation and the prospect of eternal judgment into a state of forgiveness and favor with God.
Jerry Bridges, The Gospel for Real Life, 2002, p. 108.

Prier avec ferveur
Charles H. Spurgeon
When we ask of the Lord cooly, and not fervently, we do as it were, stop His hand, and restrain Him from giving us the very blessing we “pretend” that we are seeking.

La tentation (7)
John Owen
Temptation is like a knife, that may either cut the meat or the throat of a man; it may be his food or poison.

L'Évangile
Catherine Booth
The Gospel that represents Jesus Christ, not as a system of truth to be received, into the mind, as I should receive a system of philosophy, or astronomy, but it represents Him as a real, living, mighty Savior, able to save me now.

Notre grand modèle
John Owen
Our great Pattern hath showed us what our deportment ought to be in all suggestions and temptations. When the devil showed Him "all the kingdoms of the world and the glory of them," to tempt Him withal, He did not stand and look upon them, viewing their glory, and pondering their empire.... but instantly, without stay, He cries, "Get thee hence, Satan." Meet thy temptation in its entrance with thoughts of faith concerning Christ on the cross; this will make it sink before thee. Entertain no parley, no dispute with it, if thou wouldst not enter into it.
John Owen

Dieu nous demande-t-il de faire ce qui est indigne de nous ?
Elisabeth Elliot
Does God ask us to do what is beneath us? This question will never trouble us again if we consider the Lord of heaven taking a towel and washing feet.

La blessure du péché
Dwight L. Moody
Looking at the wound of sin will never save anyone. What you must do is look at the remedy.
