Les dons du Saint-Esprit
Watchman Nee
Some seek the gifts of the Holy Spirit with genuine earnestness. Yet often what they crave is but some joy, for the "I" is hidden behind their quest.

Honte humaine
Abraham Wright
Many are ashamed to be seen as God made them; few are ashamed to be seen what the devil hath made them. Many are troubled at small defects in the outward man; few are troubled at the greatest deformities of the inward man; many buy artificial beauty to supply the natural; few spiritual, to supply the defects of the supernatural beauty of the soul.

Croyez-vous vraiment à votre foi ?
A.J. Gossip
Do you really believe your faith? Do you believe this that I am telling you? Do you believe a day is coming, when you will stand before the throne of God, and the angels will whisper together and say, “How like Christ he is!” That is not easy to believe. And yet not to believe it is blasphemy. For that, not less than that, is what Christ promises.

Le Christ a été placé au milieu de l'histoire du monde
Auteur inconnu
Christ was placed midmost in the world’s history; and in that central position He towers like some vast mountain to heaven – the farther slope stretching backward toward the creation, the hither slope toward the consummation of all things. The ages before look to Him with prophetic gaze; the ages since behold Him by historic faith; by both He is seen in common as the brightness of the Father’s glory, and the unspeakable gift of God to the race.

Une église saine
Mark Dever, Nine Marks of a Healthy Church, Crossway, 2000, p. 200.
A healthy church has a pervasive concern with church growth – not simply growing numbers but growing members. A church full of growing Christians is the kind of church growth I want as a pastor. Some today seem to think that one can be a “baby Christian” for a whole lifetime. Growth is seen to be an optional extra for particularly zealous disciples. But be very careful about taking that line of thought. Growth is a sign of life. Growing trees are living trees, and growing animals are living animals. When something stops growing, it dies.

Un droit possible ?
Jim Elliff
What right do we have to make God out to be Someone other than He really is in order to make people like Him more? Honor God by declaring the truth about Him.

La repentance jusqu'à la vie
Catéchisme Abrégé de Westminster
Repentance unto life is a saving grace, whereby a sinner, out of true sense of his sin [intellectual aspect], and appreciation of the mercy of God in Christ, doth, with grief and hatred of sin [emotional aspect], turn from it unto God, with full purpose of, and endeavor after, new obedience [volitional aspect].
Westminster Shorter Catechism.

La vie chrétienne
La vie chrétienne ne consiste pas dans l'épanouissement du moi mais dans l'accomplissement de la volonté de Dieu et la mise en évidence par notre vie de sa gloire à lui.
Si pour qu'il croisse, il faut que je diminue; alors que va-t-il arriver si je vise ma propre croissance, mon propre succès ?
Quand la sémantique du succès personnel ou du succès de l'église occupe la place centrale des sermons et qualifie la raison d'être des différents services de l'église, c'est que le terrain de l'Evangile a été abandonné pour glisser dans celui des ambitions charnelles déguisées en habits religieux. Ce n'est donc plus Christ qui règne mais l'homme."

La discipline de l'église
La discipline de l'église est un outil puissant d'évangélisation. Les gens remarquent quand nos vies sont différentes, surtout quand il y a toute une communauté de personnes dont les vies sont différentes - non pas des personnes dont les vies sont parfaites, mais des personnes dont les vies sont marquées par un effort sincère d'aimer Dieu et de s'aimer les uns les autres. Lorsque les églises sont perçues comme se conformant au monde, cela rend notre tâche d'évangélisation d'autant plus difficile. Comme l'a dit un jour Nigel Lee de English InterVarsity, nous devenons tellement semblables aux non-croyants qu'ils n'ont aucune question à nous poser. Puissions-nous vivre de telle sorte que les gens soient rendus curieux de manière constructive.
Mark Dever, Nine Marks of a Healthy Church, Crossway, 2000, p. 176.
Church discipline is a powerful tool in evangelism. People notice when our lives are different, especially when there’s a whole community of people whose lives are different- not people whose lives are perfect, but whose lives are marked by genuinely trying to love God and love one another. When churches are seen as conforming to the world, it makes our evangelistic task all the more difficult. As Nigel Lee of English InterVarsity once said, we become so like the unbelievers they have no questions they want to ask us. May we so live that people are made constructively curious.

Notre défi
Charles Swindoll, The Bride, Zondervan, 1994.
Our challenge is to stay up with the time, to serve our generation, yet in no way alter the truths of His Word. Styles and methods change and must be kept up to date. But truth? It is timeless. Not subject to change… We are to be willing to leave the familiar without disturbing the essentials. To minister effectively the church must wake up to what changes…and what doesn’t… The church that sits around frowning at the future, doing little more than polishing yesterday’s apples, will become a church lacking in relevance and excitement. At the same time, the church that softens its stand theologically and alters Scripture to fit the future’s style, will lose its power.

La Bible est un livre sur Dieu
ROGER STEER
UNE BONNE NOUVELLE POUR LE MONDE : L'HISTOIRE DE LA SOCIÉTÉ BIBLIQUE, 2004
The Bible is a book about God the heavenly Father, the author of everything that is good and beautiful and true, and the mysterious relationship he has with his children. As such, it never wanders far from life’s greatest interests and problems.

L'église est cette assemblée de personnes qui appartiennent au Seigneur
Thabiti Anyabwile
The church is that assembly of people who belong to the Lord, who are gathered together for Him. The gospel of Jesus Christ calls individuals out of the world of sin and death and into eternal light and life; it takes people who were no people and turns them into a special people for God (1 Peter 2:9-10). That’s what the church is. It’s the assembly of people living under the rule of Jesus and committed to each other in the faith.

L'amour
John Piper
Love is motivated by the joy of sharing our fullness, but the works of the flesh are motivated by the desire to fill our emptiness… [The flesh is] man’s ego which feels a deep emptiness and uses the means within its own power to fill that emptiness. If it is religious, it may use law; if it is irreligious, it may use booze… [Yet] when God frees us from guilt and fear and greed and fills us with His all-satisfying presence, the only motive left is the joy of sharing our fullness.
John Piper

Priez souvent
William Gurnall
Pray often rather than very long at a time. It is hard to be very long in prayer, and not slacken in our affections.
William Gurnall
