Une idée mystique ?
John MacArthur, Matthieu 16-23, Moody, 1988, p. 49.
When the disciples and the crowd heard Jesus speak of taking up the cross, there was nothing mystical to them about the idea. They immediately pictured a poor, condemned soul walking along the road carrying (which is an accurate translation of airo, meaning “to raise, beat, or carry”) the instrument of his execution on his back. A man who took up his cross began his death march, carrying the very beam on which he would hang.

Dieu connaît les siens
Vance Havner
God knows His own. It is well that He does, for sometimes it would be difficult for us to determine who are His!

Les grandes églises bénies de Dieu
Les grandes églises bénies de Dieu dans le monde d'aujourd'hui ont une caractéristique commune : une insistance sur l'exposition de la Parole infaillible de Dieu.
The great, God-blessed churches in the world today have one common characteristic: an insistence upon an exposition of God’s infallible Word.

Les choses mauvaises
Un homme qui ne sait pas comment être en colère ne sait pas comment être bon. De temps en temps, un homme devrait être secoué au plus profond de lui-même par l'indignation que suscitent les choses mauvaises.
Henry Ward Beecher
A man that does not know how to be angry does not know how to be good. Now and then a man should be shaken to the core with indignation over things evil.
Henry Ward Beecher

En son temps
Edward Welch, Addictions - A Banquet in the Grave, 2001, p. 217.
Scripture never expects us to hear God’s commands to us in isolation from the serious contemplation of God’s work for us in Christ.

Notre époque
"Notre époque a malheureusement manqué de ce que l'on peut appeler la grandeur spirituelle. À la racine de ceci se trouve la maladie moderne de la superficialité. Nous sommes tous trop impatients de méditer sur la foi que nous professons… Ce n'est pas le fait de parcourir les livres religieux ou de se précipiter imprudemment dans les devoirs religieux qui fait une foi chrétienne forte. C'est plutôt une méditation sans hâte sur les vérités de l'Évangile et l'exposition de notre esprit à ces vérités qui donnent le fruit d'un caractère sanctifié."

Quand on souffre
David Powlison, Seeing With New Eyes, 2003, p. 107.
[When suffering] you need to seek help. This help comes first and finally from the living God. He hears, helps, strengthens, and vindicates those who rely on Him. If you look anywhere else first, you will set yourself up for a fall. You will get snared in bitterness and revenge (spurning God for your pride). You will flee in avoidance and addiction (spurning God for your false refuges and comforts). You will develop a perverted dependency on others (spurning God for your trust in man). Sadly, our culture has awakened countless people to think about what evil-doers (“abusers”) have done to them, but it has cast them upon their own resources as “abuse victims.” Yet victims can properly understand their own sins and sufferings, and God’s grace.

Ô Dieu, notre Père
William Barclay, Prières pour l'année chrétienne
“O God, our Father, we know that the issues of life and death are in your hands, and we know that you are loving us with everlasting love…And if misfortune does come to us, grant that any trial may only bring us closer to one another and closer to you; grant that nothing may shake our certainty that you work all things together for good and that a Father’s hand will never cause his child a needless tear. Hear this our prayer; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.”

Comme les acteurs d'une comédie
George Swinnock
[Some] though they cannot sin outwardly, for want of strength of body or a fit opportunity, yet they act sin inwardly with great love and complacency. As players in a comedy, they act their parts in private, in order to a more exact performance of them in public.

Un fondement solide
Dennis Johnson
We can find our firm foundation in a covenant contracted among the three Persons of the Triune God, even before time began. This plan to rescue and re-create damaged and guilty bearers of the divine image was initiated by the Father, to be executed by the Son, and to be applied by the Spirit to those very persons on whose behalf the Son would keep covenant.

Deux points de vue
Kent Hughes, James, 1991, p. 186.
There are two views which the Christian ought to cultivate with all that he has: the Devil’s back and the face of God [see James 4:7].

Sa naissance était commune.
John MacArthur
His birth was common. Men wouldn’t have had a common birth for such a King. But it was celebrated with hallelujahs by the heavenly host in the heavens above. His lodging was poor and men wouldn’t have put Him in a stable but it was attended to by celestial visitants. It was marked by a conflux of stellar bodies. He had not the magnificent equipage of other kings but He was attended by multitudes of patients seeking and obtaining healing of soul and body. He made the dumb that attended Him sing His praises and the lame leap for joy and the deaf to hear His wonders and the blind to see His glory. He had no guard of soldiers, no magnificent retinue of military men, but centurions took orders from Him…and so have millions across the earth. He didn’t control a vast empire of those who did all of His bidding, but the waves and the winds and the storms which no early power can control obeyed Him. And death and the grave durst not refuse to deliver up their prey when He demanded it. He didn’t walk on velvet tapestry but when He walked on the sea the water held Him up. All parts of the creation except sinful men honored Him as their creator. He had no vast incomprehensible treasure of wealth but when He needed His money to pay His taxes, a fish yielded it up out of its mouth. He had no barns and He had no corn fields, but when He wanted to fill the hearts and the stomachs of a multitude, He created the food right out of His own hands. And no monarch in history ever entertained that way. He didn’t have the fantastic group of people sorrowing like other people have on occasions that demanded sorrow on His behalf, but the frame of nature itself solemnized the death of its author, heaven and earth were mourners, the sun was clad in black and if the inhabitants of the earth were unmoved, the earth itself trembled under the awful load. And there were few to pay the Jewish custom of rending their garments at His death, so the rocks took their place and rent their own bowels. He didn’t have a grave of His own, but other men’s graves open to Him. He came not as the subject of death, but as the conqueror and invader of its territory and He rose victorious.

Ce que nous méritons !
John Gerstner, The Problem of Pleasure, Soli Deo Gloria, 2002, p. 15.
Manifestly, as sinners against an infinitely glorious God, we deserve an immediate and infinite, condign, irremediable punishment from His holy, powerful hands. Nothing that we have ever received, that anyone has ever received, in all this world, has even approximated an adequate punishment for the crimes we commit in any one moment. How, therefore, do we continue to live? Why are we not plunged into eternal torment now, immediately?

Le premier cœur à atteindre
Alistair Begg, Preaching for God's Glory, Crossway, 1999, p. 34.
The first heart God’s Word needs to reach is that of the preacher. There will be no benefit to ourpeople from expository preaching unless we ourselves are being impacted by the Scripture we are preparing to preach. It is imperative, when we are dealing with the biblical text, that we are personally changed by it.

Le véritable homme de Dieu
Leonard Ravenhill
The true man of God is heartsick, grieved at the worldliness of the Church…grieved at the toleration of sin in the Church, grieved at the prayerlessness in the Church. He is disturbed that the corporate prayer of the Church no longer pulls down the strongholds of the devil.

La définition de la prédication
Martyn Lloyd-Jones, Preachers and Preaching, Zondervan, 1971, p. 53.
Any true definition of preaching must say that that man is there to deliver the message of God, a message from God to those people. If you prefer the language of Paul, he is ‘an ambassador for Christ.’ That is what he is. He has been sent, he is a commissioned person, and he is standing there as the mouthpiece of God and of Christ to address these people.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones, Preachers and Preaching, Zondervan, 1971, p. 53.

Quand commencer à prier ?

Il est et restera omniprésent
Tom Ascol
This does not mean that God will be completely absent from hell. He is and will remain omnipresent (Ps. 139:7-8). To be separated from the Lord and cast into hell does not mean that a person will finally be free of God. That person will remain eternally accountable to Him. He will remain Lord over the person’s existence. But in hell, a person will be forever separated from God in His kindness, mercy, grace, and goodness. He will be consigned to deal with Him in His holy wrath.
Tom Ascol
