DESIDERIUS ROTTERDAMUS ERASMUS (C. 1469-1536) HUMANISTE CHRÉTIEN NÉERLANDAIS
O Lord Jesus Christ, Who art the Way, the Truth, and the Life, we pray Thee suffer us not to stray from Thee, who art the Way, nor to distrust Thee, who art the Truth, nor to rest in any other thing than Thee, who art the Life. Teach us by Thy Holy Spirit what to believe, what to do, and wherein to take our rest.
DESIDERIUS ROTTERDAMUS ERASMUS (C. 1469–1536) DUTCH CHRISTIAN HUMANIST
Dwight L. Moody
Jesus came to deliver us from our sinful dispositions, and create in us pure hearts, and when we have Him with us it will not be hard for us. Then the service of Christ will be delightful.

Watchman Nee
People shall never enter the kingdom of God through our encouragement, persuasion, argument, inducement, excitement, or attraction; entrance can be gained only by new birth, by nothing less than the resurrection of the spirit.

The best prayer does not seek God’s gifts but the experience of His person.

Wernher Von Braun
To simply dismiss the concept of God as being unscientific is to violate the very objectivity of science itself.

Charles H. Spurgeon
Doth not all nature around me praise God? If I were silent, I should be an exception to the universe. Doth not the thunder praise Him as it rolls like drums in the march of the God of armies? Do not the mountains praise Him when the woods upon their summits wave in adoration? Doth not the lightning write His name in letters of fire? Hath not the whole earth a voice? And shall I, can I, silent be?
Charles H. Spurgeon
Jerry Bridges, The Practice of Godliness, NavPress, 1996, p. 85-86.
The contented person experiences the sufficiency of God’s provision for his needs and the sufficiency of God’s grace for his circumstances. He believes God will indeed meet all his material needs and that He will work in all his circumstances for his good. That is why Paul could say, “Godliness with contentment is great gain.” The godly person has found what the greedy or envious or discontented person always searches for but never finds. He has found satisfaction and rest in his soul.

R. C. Sproul
If God is the Creator of the entire universe, then it must follow that He is the Lord of the whole universe. No part of the world is outside of His lordship. That means that no part of my life must be outside of His lordship.
R. C. Sproul
Trésor précieux, tu es à moi ;
A moi pour m'apprendre d'où je viens ;
A moi pour m'apprendre ce que je suis.
A moi pour me réprimander quand je vagabonde ;
Pour me montrer l'amour d'un Sauveur ;
A moi, tu es le guide et le gardien ;
A moi de punir ou de récompenser.
A moi de réconforter dans la détresse,
souffrant dans ce désert ;
A moi de montrer, par une foi vivante,
Que les hommes peuvent triompher de la mort.
A moi de dire les joies à venir,
Et le destin du pécheur rebelle ;
Ô toi, livre saint et divin,
Précieux trésor, tu es à moi.
Amen.

HYMNE, " SAINTE BIBLE, LIVRE DIVIN "
Holy Bible, Book divine,
Precious treasure, thou art mine;
Mine to teach me whence I came;
Mine to teach me what I am.
Mine to chide me when I rove;
Mine to show a Savior’s love;
Mine thou art to guide and guard;
Mine to punish or reward.
Mine to comfort in distress,
Suff’ring in this wilderness;
Mine to show, by living faith,
Men can triumph over death.
Mine to tell of joys to come,
And the rebel sinner’s doom;
O Thou Holy Book divine,
Precious treasure, thou art mine.
Amen.
JOHN BURTON SR. (1773–1822)

F. RUSSELL BARRY (1890-1976) ÉVÊQUE ANGLICAN DE SOUTHWELL
The resurrection of Christ was what called the Church into being, and turned a group of shattered,demoralised men into evangelists who, against all odds, gave a new direction to history.
F. RUSSELL BARRY (1890–1976) ANGLICAN BISHOP OF SOUTHWELL
Le cœur d'Eve était sans péché et pourtant elle a reçu les pensées suggérées par Satan. Elle a ainsi été séduite par la tromperie de Satan, abandonnant son raisonnement et tombant dans le piège de l'ennemi.
Watchman Nee
Eve's heart was sinless and yet she received Satan's suggested thoughts. She was thus beguiled through his deception into forfeiting her reasoning and tumbling into the snare of the enemy.

LE LIVRE DE JÉSUS, 1996
The cross is the central symbol of Christianity. Many cathedrals have been built in the shape of the cross.Their towers are crowned with the symbol. Every mass is a reenactment of the sacrificial death of Christ. One can hardly turn in any direction without seeing a cross on a hill, on a church, or as a piece of jewelry. This universal symbol is understood by virtually everyone. Its very sight calls to mind Christ’s first-century execution. It is his salvation symbol.

God is Truth. There is no incompatibility between science and religion. Both are seeking the same truth. Science shows that God exists.

Henry Drummond
Nothing that happens in the world happens by chance. God is a God of order. Everything is arranged upon definite principles, and never at random. The world, even the religious world, is governed by law. Character is governed by law. Happiness is governed by law. The Christian experiences are governed by law.
Henry Drummond
Randy Smith
Christ solved the problem of discrimination. Through the shedding of His blood, He made us understand that we are the same in essence. That God looks not at these superficial externals and therefore neither should we. That we all deserve of hell, but in response to His marvelous grace we who deserve only hell can be made alive and brought together in His spiritual family under the loving bonds on one heavenly Father.
Randy Smith
Sinclair Ferguson
The spiritual life is lived between two polarities: our sin and God’s grace. The discovery of the former brings us to seek the latter; the work of the latter illuminates the depths of the former and causes us to seek yet more grace… The heart-conviction of sin is the way grace prepares the heart for more grace.
Sinclair Ferguson
Charles H. Spurgeon
I said of this poor body, “You have not yet been newly created. The venom of the old serpent still taints you. But you shall yet be delivered. You shall rise again if you die and are buried, or you shall be changed if the Lord should suddenly come today. You, poor body, which drags me down to the dust in pain and sorrow, even you shall rise and be remade in the redemption of the body. For the new creation has begun in me, with God’s down payment of his Spirit.” Oh beloved, can’t you rejoice in this? I encourage you to do so. Rejoice in what God is doing in this new creation! Let your whole spirit be glad! Leap down, you waterfalls of joy! Overflow with gladness! Let loose the torrents of praise!
Charles H. Spurgeon
John Piper
We are all starved for the glory of God, not self. No one goes to the Grand Canyon to increase self-esteem. Why do we go? Because there is greater healing for the soul in beholding splendor than there is in beholding self. Indeed, what could be more ludicrous in a vast and glorious universe like this than a human being, on the speck called earth, standing in front of a mirror trying to find significance in his own self-image? It is a great sadness that this is the gospel of the modern world. The Christian Gospel is about “the glory of Christ,” not about me. And when it is—in some measure—about me, it is not about my being made much of by God, but about God mercifully enabling me to enjoy making much of Him forever.
John Piper
Watchman Nee
Faith looks not at what happens to him but at Him Whom he believes.
