Si vous voulez vivre un changement permanent, cesser de vous concentrer sur la grandeur de vos problèmes et commencer à vous concentrer sur la grandeur de votre Dieu !

The antidote for covetousness is contentment. The two are in opposition. Whereas the covetous, greedy person worships himself, the contented person worships God. Contentment comes from trusting God.

Matthew Henry, Commentaire, 1 Samuel 24:5.
It is a good thing to have a heart within us smiting us for sins that seem little; it is a sign that conscience is awake and tender, and will be the means of preventing greater sins.
Matthew Henry, Commentary, 1 Samuel 24:5.
Sir James Jeans, mathématicien, physicien et astronome chevalier qui a contribué à développer notre compréhension de l'évolution des étoiles, a écrit ceci dans son livre The Mysterious Universe (Cambridge, 1931).
“There is a wide measure of agreement which, on the physical side of science approaches almost unanimity, that the stream of knowledge is heading towards a non-mechanical reality; the universe begins to look more like a great thought than a great machine. Mind no longer appears as an accidental intruder into the realm of matter. We are beginning to suspect that we ought rather to hail mind as the creator and governor of the realm of matter—not of course our individual minds, but the mind in which the atoms out of which our individual minds have grown, exist as thoughts.”
Sir James Jeans knighted mathematician, physicist and astronomer who helped develop our understanding of the evolution of stars, wrote this in his book The Mysterious Universe (Cambridge, 1931).

I have a great need for Christ; I have a great Christ for my need.

Pourquoi ici encore, croire que je vous attends ?
Pourquoi vous comporter comme si c'était fini ?
Je suis ressuscité comme je vous l'avais dit !
Oui, je suis mort pour vous, c'est là que tout commence !
Arrêtez, levez-vous, croyez en ma puissance !
Oui je me suis livré pour vous prouver mon amour.
Je suis ressuscité pour vous porter secours !
Réjouissez-vous car, oui, j'ai vaincu la mort !
Je vous donne mon pouvoir, qu'attendez-vous encore ?
Oui une vie de victoire est pour vous désormais
Et un nouveau départ pour vous tous qui croyez !

In Jesus Christ on the Cross there is refuge; there is safety; there is shelter; and all the power of sin upon our track cannot reach us when we have taken shelter under the Cross that atones for our sins.

Every powerful movement has had its philosophy which has gripped the mind, fired the imagination and captured the devotion of its adherents.

Watchman Nee
Satan frequently either unsettles the emotions of the physical bodies of spiritual believers, or he blocks the works of the spiritual ones, or he may disturb their environments.

The fear of the Lord tends to take away all other fears… This is the secret of Christian courage and boldness.

From the day of Pentecost until the present time, it has been necessary to be of one accord in prayer before the Spirit of God will work with mighty converting power.

D'abord, qu'il devra un jour rendre compte au Juge suprême de la vie des malades confiés à ses soins.
Ensuite, quelle que soit l'habileté ou la connaissance dont il peut, par la faveur divine, devenir le détenteur, il doit la consacrer avant tout à la gloire de Dieu et au bien-être de la race humaine.
Troisièmement, il doit se rappeler que ce n'est pas à une créature moyenne ou ignoble qu'il a affaire. Nous pouvons nous rendre compte de la valeur de la race humaine puisque c'est pour elle que le Fils unique de Dieu s'est fait homme et a ainsi ennobli la nature qu'il a prise sur lui.
Enfin, le médecin doit garder à l'esprit qu'il n'est pas exempté du sort commun, mais qu'il est soumis aux mêmes lois de la mortalité et de la maladie que ses semblables et qu'il soignera les malades avec plus de diligence et de tendresse s'il se souvient qu'il est lui-même leur compagnon de souffrance ».
Thomas Sydenham (1624-1689), pionnier de la médecine moderne
Considéré comme le "Père de la médecine anglaise" ou "l'Hippocrate de l'Angleterre", tant sa réputation dans la science médicale était grande.
Kenneth Dewhurst, Dr. Thomas Sydenham (1624-1689) : His Life and Original Writings, section : Theologia rationalis, dans un message à ses étudiants en 1668, Londres, 1966
« Whoever applies himself to medicine should seriously weigh the following considerations:
First, that he will one day have to render an account to the supreme Judge of the lives of sick persons committed to his care.
Next, whatever skill or knowledge he may, by divine favour, become possessed of, should be devoted above all things to the glory of God and the welfare of the human race.
Thirdly, he must remember that is no mean or ignoble creature that he deals with. We may ascertain the worth of the human race since for its sake God’s only begotten Son became man and thereby ennobled the nature that he took upon him.
Finally the physician should bear in mind that he himself is not exempt from the common lot but is subject to the same laws of mortality and disease as his fellows and he will care for the sick with more diligence and tenderness if he remembers that he himself is their fellow sufferer ».
Thomas Sydenham (1624-1689), pioneer of modern medicine
Regarded as the ‘Father of English medicine’ or ‘England’s Hippocrates’, such was his great standing in medical science.

He is much happier that is always content, though he has ever so little, than he that is always coveting, though he has ever so much.

God is able to do more than man can understand.

Ils mettent la science au défi de prouver l'existence de Dieu. Mais faut-il vraiment allumer une bougie pour voir le soleil ?
Wernher Von Braun
My experiences with science led me to God.
They challenge science to prove the existence of God. But must we really light a candle to see the sun?

The only way to deliver me from my self-centeredness is by winning my entire heart’s devotion, the total allegiance of my will to God—and this can only be done by the Divine Love of God disclosed by Christ in his life and death.

A conviction is a determinative believe: something you believe so strongly that it affects the way you live.

Holiness has not legs and does not go walking about visiting idle people, as a lazy Christian seemed to think who told me that he thought the experience would "come" to him "someday."

Enter into the promises of God. It is your inheritance. You will do more in one year if you are really filled with the Holy Ghost than you could do in fifty years apart from Him.
