Dans une lettre adressée au California State board of Education (14 septembre 1972).
It is in scientific honesty that I endorse the presentation of alternative theories for the origin of the universe, life and man in the science classroom. It would be an error to overlook the possibility that the universe was planned rather than happening by chance.

Temptations and occasions put nothing into a man, but only draw out what was in him before.

HOMME D'ÉTAT, AVOCAT ET ORATEUR AMÉRICAIN
Philosophical argument has sometimes shaken my reason for the faith that was in me; but my heart has always assured me that the gospel of Jesus Christ must be reality.

I do not sit down to the perusal of scripture in order to impose a sense on the inspired writers, but to receive one, as they give it me. I pretend not to teach them, I wish like a child to be taught by them.

A.W. Pink, The Beatitudes and the Lord's Prayer, Baker, 1979, p. 56-67.
The carnal mind is at enmity against God (Romans 8:7), and the more His children are conformed to His image the more they will bring down upon themselves the spite of His foes. Being “persecuted for righteousness sake” (Mt. 5:10) means being opposed because of right living. Those who perform their Christian duty condemn those who live to please self, and therefore evoke their hatred. This persecution assumes various forms, from annoying and taunting to opposing and tormenting.

In Fellowship; alone To God, with Faith, draw near, Approach His Courts, besiege His Throne With all the power of Prayer.

THÉOLOGIEN ÉCOSSAIS
PRINCIPES DE LA THÉOLOGIE CHRÉTIENNE, 1977
The resurrection means that he can bring forth the new. His working never comes to an end, for he can always open up a new possibility. . . . The cross speaks of God standing with his creatures in the flux of events; the resurrection speaks of his always being ahead of events. Both symbols seem essential to the idea of God.

Origène
We are obliged, therefore, to say that whoever speaks that which is foreign to religion is using many words, while he who speaks the words of truth, even should he go over the whole field and omit nothing, is always speaking the one word.
Origen
Erroll Hulse
Prayer the genesis of revival. The beginning of a time of revival invariably has been marked by quickening of the ordinary prayer meetings, resulting in new vitality, more participation, more sense of the presence of the Holy Spirit, and more unction in intercession.

It is hypocritical to pray for victory over our sins yet be careless in our intake of the Word of God.

Nancy Leigh DeMoss, Holiness, The Heart God Purifies, Moody Publishers, 2002,
True holiness isn’t cold and deadening – it’s warm and inviting. It’s irresistible. Those who think otherwise have never seen it, but only its caricatures.

Holiness does not consist in mystic speculations, enthusiastic fervours, or uncommanded austerities it consists in thinking as God thinks, and willing as God wills.
