L'espoir
Charles H. Spurgeon
That only is worth my having which I can have forever. That only is worth my grasping which death cannot tear out of my hand.

Jésus est présenté comme l'Ami des pécheurs
WATCHMAN NEE (NI TO-SHENG) (1903-1972)
LEADER CHRÉTIEN CHINOIS (EMPRISONNÉ PAR LE GOUVERNEMENT COMMUNISTE)
In the Gospels the Lord Jesus is presented as the Friend of sinners, for historically he was found, first of all, moving among the people as their Friend before he became their Savior. But do you realize that today He is still in the first place our Friend, in order that He may become our Savior?

Recourir à la prière extraordinaire pour le réveil
Erroll Hulse
In times of special need and of the church’s weakness, there is a biblical and historical warrant to resort to extraordinary prayer for revival… We must recognize, however, that prayer is a spiritual gift, something that cannot be created artificially or regimented. We are not to think that we can organize prayer as if we are in control. The very ability to pray with unction and faith is given by the Holy Spirit, and although that activity largely precedes revival, prayer also is an integral part of revival.

Lorsque Jésus est mort
R.A. Torrey, The Bible and Its Christ, Revell, s.d., p. 107-108.
When Jesus died, He died as my representative, and I died in Him; when He arose, He rose as my representative, and I arose in Him; when He ascended up on high and took His place at the right hand of the Father in the glory, He ascended as my representative and I ascended in Him, and today I am seated in Christ with God in the heavenlies. I look at the cross of Christ, and I know that atonement has been made for my sins; I look at the open sepulcher and the risen and ascended Lord, and I know the atonement has been accepted. There no longer remains a single sin on me, no matter how many or how great my sins may have been.

Une bonne vision de la Bible
TOM WRIGHT
ÉVÊQUE DE DURHAM ET VICE-PRÉSIDENT DE LA SOCIÉTÉ BIBLIQUE
Whatever view of the Bible you take, if you are to be in any way obedient to the Bible you cannot make the Bible itself the centre or focus of your attention. It points away from itself. From the Christian point of view, the centre of attention can never be merely the Bible; it must always be Jesus of Nazareth, Jesus the Messiah, Jesus the Lord of the World.

Refuser Dieu ?
Richard Baxter, The Reformed Pastor, chapitre 3, partie 3.
Scripture tells us that the state of an unconverted man is this: he sees no great felicity in the love and communion of God in the life to come, which may draw his heart thither from this present world; but he lives to his carnal self, or to the flesh; and the main bent of his life is, that it may go well with him on earth; and that religion which he has is but a little by the by, lest he should be damned when he can keep the world no longer; so that the world and the flesh are highest in his esteem, and nearest to his heart, and God and glory stand below them, and all their service of God is but a giving him that which the world and flesh can spare. This is the case of every unconverted man; and all who are in this case are in a state of misery.
Richard Baxter, The Reformed Pastor, Chapter 3, Part 3.

La solution au péché
Philip Yancey
The solution to sin is not to impose an ever-stricter code of behavior. It is to know God.

La chose la plus remarquable
CHARLES W. COLSON
ANCIEN CONSEILLER DE LA MAISON BLANCHE ET FONDATEUR DE LA FRATERNITÉ DES PRISONS
The most remarkable thing, though, is the difference Scripture makes in the lives of those who sincerely follow it. I’ve never found anyone who said, “I’ve studied the Bible; I’ve lived it for years—and it doesn’t work for me.” The people I’ve talked to say that the more they truly absorb Scripture and seek to live by its precepts, they find that God is able to accomplish amazing things for his purposes through their lives.

Une idole ?
Si le travail devient votre idole, alors vos succès vous monteront à la tête et vos échecs vous empoisonneront le coeur. En ce vendredi de Pâques, souvenons que Jésus est plus précieux que tout notre travail.

Cinq pièges à l'intendance fidèle
Cinq pièges à l'intendance fidèle :
1. La paresse - ne pas investir nos talents.
2. Le manque de fidélité dans ce que nous considérons comme de petites responsabilités.
3. Penser que nous sommes nous-mêmes la source de nos dons et capacités.
4. Semer pour la chair - faire des choses qui nous servent et nous plaisent.
5. S'efforcer de trouver des trésors terrestres - se concentrer sur le présent plutôt que sur l'éternité dans le ciel.
Karl Graustein, Growing Up Christian, 2005, p. 224.
Five pitfalls to faithful stewardship:
1. Laziness – failing to invest our talents.
2. Lack of faithfulness in what we consider small responsibilities.
3. Thinking that we ourselves are the source of our gifts and abilities.
4. Sowing to the flesh – doing things that serve and please ourselves.
5. Striving for earthly treasures – focusing on the present instead of eternity in heaven.

N'ayez pas peur, chers enfants de Dieu
Charles H. Spurgeon
Do not be afraid, dear children of God, you that have fallen into a mournful state, do not be afraid to cry out to God. I know we sometimes feel as if we must not and dare not pray. We have become so dull, so lifeless, so unworthy, that we do not expect to be heard, and feel as if it would be presumption to cry. But our heavenly Father loves to hear his children cry all day long… If you can cry out to Jesus, he will joyfully hear you. If you will give him no rest, he will give you all the rest you need. The Lord finds music in his children’s cries.
Charles H. Spurgeon

Facile ?
John Owen
Men look upon it as an easy task and as that which will be carried on with a little diligence and ordinary attendance. But do we think it is for nothing that the Holy Spirit expresses the duty of opposing sin and weakening its power by mortification, killing or putting to death? Is there not something special in this, beyond any other act or duty of our lives?… Everything will do its utmost to preserve its life and being. So will sin too; and if it is not constantly pursued with diligence and holy violence, it will escape our assaults. Let no man think he can kill sin with few, easy or gentle strokes.
John Owen

Notre première priorité dans les moments d'adversité
Jerry Bridges, Trusting God, 1988, p. 52.
Our first priority in times of adversity is to honor and glorify God by trusting Him. We tend to make our first priority the gaining of relief from our feelings of heartache or disappointment or frustration. This is a natural desire, and God has promised to give us grace sufficient for our trials and peace for our anxieties (2 Corinthians 12:9, Philippians 4:6-7). But just as God’s will is to take precedence over our will (Jesus Himself said, “Yet not as I will, but as you will” – Matthew 26:39), so God’s honor is to take precedence over our feelings. We honor God by choosing to trust Him when we don’t understand what He is doing or why He has allowed some adverse circumstance to occur. As we seek God’s glory, we may be sure that He has purposed our good and that He will not be frustrated in fulfilling that purpose.
Jerry Bridges, Trusting God, 1988, p. 52.

Disputes

Les mots de la Bible
Si vous trouvez quelque chose qui parle de votre condition, qui fait autorité, faites-le tourner en boucle dans votre esprit. En le repassant dans votre esprit, il deviendra une atmosphère, puis une attitude, puis un acte. Lorsque Jésus a été soumis à la tentation dans le désert, il a répondu par les mots de la Bible. Ces paroles étaient devenues une partie de Lui, et dans la crise, elles sont naturellement passées du stade de l'assimilation et de l'atmosphère à celui de l'attitude et de l'acte.
