Comment être juste aux yeux de Dieu ?
Edward Carnell, Christian Commitment, Baker, 1982, p, 302.
Man cannot be righteous in God’s sight until he repents of his own expectation that he can be righteous in his own sight. God is not mighty toward man until man is weak toward God.
Edward Carnell, Christian Commitment, Baker, 1982, p, 302.

L'amitié avec Jésus
Richard Wurmbrand
Friendship with Jesus is costly. Faith alone saves, but saving faith is never alone. It is always accompanied by great sacrifices for Christ’s sake.

Pourquoi Dieu a-t-il choisi d'agir par la prière persévérante ?
Bill Thrasher, A Journey to Victorious Praying, Moody Publishers, 2003, p. 190-191.
Why has God chosen to work through persevering prayer? 1. To purify our desires. Sometimes we may want the right thing for the wrong reasons. 2. To prepare us for His answer. A premature answer might cause us to glory more in the gift than in the Giver. 3. To develop our life and character. We have already stated that one of God’s greatest priorities in prayer is the work He desires to do in us. 4. To be used of God in spiritual warfare. Although we are not told a great bit of detail about the exact nature of the angelic conflict in the heavenlies, we are told enough to be assured of the reality of it. 5. To bless us with a more intimate relationship with God. An aspect of delighting in a person is delighting in conversing with them. The joy of fellowship with a prized person is the greatest treasure.

La doctrine de la persévérance des saints
Louis Berkhof, Théologie systématique, 1998, p. 545.
The doctrine of the perseverance of the saints is to the effect that they whom God has regenerated and effectually called to a state of grace, can neither totally nor finally fall away from that state, but shall certainly persevere therein to the end and be eternally saved.
Louis Berkhof, Systematic Theology, 1998, p. 545.

Dieu
George Whitefield
Every man, by his own natural will, hates God; but when he is turned to the Lord, by evangelical repentance, then his will is changed; then his conscience, now hardened and benumbed, shall be quickened and awakened; then his hard hearts shall be melted, and his unruly affections shall be crucified. Thus, by that repentance, the whole soul will be changed, and he will have new inclinations, new desires, and new habits.

Des gouttes de poison
Kris Lundgaard, The Enemy Within, 1998, p. 45.
But every last drop of poison is poison; every spark of fire is fire; and the last bit of flesh that remains in the believer is still enmity. When God’s grace changes our nature, it doesn’t change the nature of the flesh. It conquers it, weakens it, mortally wounds it, so that we are no longer Captain Ahabs by nature; yet his defiant malice smolders in our flesh. By the time Paul wrote Romans, he must have been as Christlike as anyone can expect to be on this side of heaven, and he surely spend his days putting his flesh to death. Still he cried out for deliverance from this irreconcilable enemy (Romans 7:24).

C'est une vérité incontestable
George Whitefield
It is an undoubted truth that every doctrine that comes from God, leads to God; and that which doth not tend to promote holiness is not of God.

Le but de l'église
Le but de l'église qui se réunit pour le service de culte régulier n'est pas l'évangélisation. L'église est un rassemblement ou une assemblée de croyants qui n'ont pas besoin d'être évangélisés. Le but de l'église qui se réunit est d'édifier les saints, de les équiper pour le service et de les amener à la maturité (Ephésiens 4:13-15). L'Église primitive se réunissait et "persévérait dans la doctrine des apôtres et dans la communion fraternelle, dans la fraction du pain et dans les prières" (Actes 2:42). Ils se réunissaient pour adorer Dieu et pour s'entraider, édifiant ainsi le Corps du Christ. Lorsque les saints sont enseignés et formés, alors ils seront amenés à la "plénitude du Christ" (Éphésiens 4:13).
J. Delany, The Purpose of the Church.
The purpose of the church assembling together for the regular worship service is not for evangelism. The church is a gathering or assembly of believers who do not need to be evangelized. The purpose of the church meeting together is to edify the saints, equip them for service, and to bring them to maturity (Ephesians 4:13-15). The early church met together and “continued stedfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers” (Acts 2:42). They met together to worship God, and to minister to one another, thus building up the Body of Christ. When saints are taught and trained, then they will be brought to the “fullness of Christ” (Ephesians 4:13).

L'absence de prière
Je suis convaincu que l'absence de prière :
1. Est un péché contre Dieu (1 Samuel 12:23).
2. Est une désobéissance directe au commandement du Christ ("veillez et priez", Matthieu 26:41).
3. C'est une désobéissance directe à la Parole de Dieu ("priez sans cesse", 1 Thessaloniciens 5:17).
4. Me rend vulnérable à la tentation ("veillez et priez pour ne pas tomber dans la tentation", Matthieu 26:41). 5.
5. Exprime l'indépendance - pas besoin de Dieu.
6. Donne de la place à l'Ennemi et me rend vulnérable à ses plans (Ephésiens 6:10-20 ; Daniel 10).
7. Entraîne l'impuissance.
8. Limite (et définit) ma relation avec Dieu.
9. M'empêche de connaître Sa volonté, Ses priorités, Sa direction.
10. Me force à opérer dans le domaine du naturel (ce que je peux faire) par rapport au surnaturel (ce qu'Il peut faire).
11. Me laisse faible, harcelé et ennuyé.
12. Est enracinée dans l'orgueil, l'autosuffisance, la paresse et le manque de discipline.
13. Révèle un manque de charge réelle et de compassion pour les autres.
Nancy Leigh DeMoss, A Place of Quiet Rest, Moody, 2000, p. 233.
I am convinced that prayerlessness:
1. Is a sin against God (1 Sam. 12:23).
2. Is direct disobedience to the command of Christ (“watch and pray,” Mt. 26:41).
3. Is direct disobedience to the Word of God (“pray without ceasing,” 1 Thes. 5:17).
4. Makes me vulnerable to temptation (“watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation,” Mt. 26:41).
5. Expresses independence – no need for God.
6. Gives place to the Enemy and makes me vulnerable to his schemes (Eph. 6:10-20; Dan. 10).
7. Results in powerlessness.
8. Limits (and defines) my relationship with God.
9. Hinders me from knowing His will, His priorities, His direction.
10. Forces me to operate in the realm of the natural (what I can do) verses the supernatural (what He can do).
11. Leaves me weak, harried, and hassled.
12. Is rooted in pride, self-sufficiency, laziness, and lack of discipline.
13. Reveals a lack of real burden and compassion for others.
Nancy Leigh DeMoss, A Place of Quiet Rest, Moody, 2000, p. 233.

Voir l’univers
Le premier regard de l’homme jeté sur l’univers n’y découvre que variété, diversité, multiplicité des phénomènes. Que ce regard soit illuminé par la science,—par la science qui rapproche l’homme de Dieu,—et la simplicité et l’unité brillent de toutes parts.

Selon Apocalypse 21:1-5
John MacArthur, The Battle for the Beginning, 2001, p. 45.
According to Revelation 21:1-5, God will immediately create a new heaven and a new earth (cf. Isa. 65:17). Do we really believe He can do that, or will it take another umpteen billion years of evolutionary process to get the new heaven and new earth in working order? If we really believe He can destroy this universe in a split second and immediately create a whole new one, what’s the problem with believing the Genesis account of a six-day creation in the first place? If He can do it at the end of the age, why is it so hard to believe the biblical account of what happened in the beginning?

Une grande question

La Parole de Dieu
JOHN MACARTHUR, TRUTH FOR TODAY, 2001
... God’s Word, which is all about Jesus Christ, can do for us what we cannot do for ourselves. We are sinful and unable to remedy our condition, but from God comes the incredible, limitless power that can transform our lives.

La persévérance
Louis Berkhof, Théologie systématique, 1998, p. 546.
Perseverance may be defined as that continuous operation of the Holy Spirit in the believer, by which the work of divine grace that is begun in the heart, is continued and brought to completion. It is because God never forsakes His work that believers continue to stand to the very end.
Louis Berkhof, Systematic Theology, 1998, p. 546.

PASTEUR ÉCOSSAIS, ÉVANGÉLISTE
In the Old Testament, we have Jesus predicted. In the Gospels, we have Jesus revealed. In the Acts, we have Jesus preached. In the Epistles, we have Jesus explained. In the revelation, we have Jesus expected.
