A man may study because his brain is hungry for knowledge, even Bible knowledge. But he prays because his soul is hungry for God.

John MacArthur, The Battle for the Beginning, 2001, p. 138.
Honest scientists must admit that all of life had to be designed by an immensely intelligent mind. The more science looks at life, the more complex it becomes. The human brain is far more complex than NASA’s space shuttle. The brain alone is made up of at least six million functioning parts. No one would imagine that the space shuttle evolved by chance from nothing. Why should we have such a view of life itself?
John MacArthur, The Battle for the Beginning, 2001, p. 138.
Ainsi, peu importe à quel point certains peuvent penser que la prédication par exposition est inefficace dans notre société technologique et médiatique, peu importe à quel point d'autres méthodes peuvent sembler plus excitantes ou divertissantes pour l'homme et la femme moderne, le moyen le plus efficace pour convaincre et enseigner les âmes restera toujours la communication fidèle de l'Évangile de Jésus-Christ et l'enseignement conforme à la saine doctrine de la Parole de Dieu, car c'est l'unique moyen que Dieu a choisit. 2 Timothée 4.2 "prêche la parole, insiste en toute occasion, favorable ou non, reprends, censure, exhorte, avec toute douceur et en instruisant."
Ne cédons pas aux appels de la chair et aux attraits du divertissements qu'elle affectionne. Le prédicateur n'a pas pour mission d'occuper les esprits, mais d'annoncer le seul message qui soit capable de les changer."

Christ never said much in mere words about the Christian graces. He lived them, He was them. Yet we do not merely copy Him. We learn His art by living with Him.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
