L'Évangile est une "bonne nouvelle"
Randy Smith
The Gospel is “Good News,” but we can’t get to the good news until we talk about the bad news because apart from the bad news we will see no need for the good news. Awareness of our sinfulness is the motivation to seek the cure of forgiveness found only in Christ.

L'évangéliste biblique
Daryl Wingerd
A biblical evangelist…is one who studies to know what the Bible says about God, Christ, sin, holiness, justice, wrath, grace, love, and the salvation of sinners, and then teaches those doctrines to unconverted people. Relying solely upon the truth of the doctrines of the Bible and the working of the Spirit of God, he urges them to repent and believe the truth. The biblical evangelist is not a clever or manipulative person who says or does whatever it takes to get people to “make a decision for Christ.” He is not the one who, because he genuinely longs to see people saved, is willing to stray from, add to, modify, or reduce the doctrines of the Bible. The biblical evangelist is the one who is convinced that God saves those who believe “the foolishness of the [biblical] message preached” (1 Corinthians 1:21). He has no confidence in a message that seems more palatable, user-friendly, culturally relevant, or seemingly more effective in persuading people to “make a decision” or say a “sinner’s prayer.”

La vie de l'homme
La vie de l'homme vient de Dieu, et non de ses biens, aussi abondants soient-ils.
Henry Alford
Man's life is of God, not of his goods, however abundant they may be.

La foi de Jésus
A.J. Gossip
There is still One whose faith in you has never wavered. And how wonderful it is that that one should be Jesus Christ! It was a wonderful dream God dreamed, Christ says, when He created you; it was a stately being that was in His mind when you were fashioned; and I can make you all He meant that you should be.

Suggestions de pacification
Randy Smith
Peacemaking suggestions when seeking conflict resolution with another: Pray before, during and after the time together (1 Thessalonicians 5:17). Get together and talk about the matter face-to-face (i.e. not an email). Be sure to go to the individual in a loving and reasonable and gentle manner (1 Corinthians 4:21; Ephesians 4:2; 1 Timothy 6:11). Make sure your heart is right. Make sure you have removed the log from your own eye before you seek to remove the speck from your brother’s (Matthew 7:3-5). Go seeking to believe the best, hear the other side of the story (Proverbs 18:17). Attack the problem not the person, value the relationship more than the issue. Deal with one problem at a time. Find common ground – I hope as Christians you both want God’s glory and unity – start there (1 Corinthians 10:31)! Add how you may have contributed to the problem – people will always listen to how you might have wronged them (Proverbs 28:13). Be prepared to extend and receive forgiveness if appropriate (Ephesians 4:32; Colossians 3:13). Seek to fully reconcile the relationship and put the matter behind you. Remember, there is a big difference between forgiveness and reconciliation.

Nous vivons notre vie quotidienne en ne comprenant presque rien du monde.
Carl Sagan
(Extrait d'une introduction à "Une brève histoire du temps" de Stephen Hawking)
“We go about our daily lives understanding almost nothing of the world. We give little thought to the machinery that generates the sunlight that makes life possible, to the gravity that glues us to an Earth that would otherwise send us spinning off into space, or to the atoms of which we are made and on whose stability we fundamentally depend. Except for children (who don’t know enough not to ask the important questions), few of us spend much time wondering why nature is the way it is; where the cosmos came from, or whether it was always here; if time will one day flow backward and effects precede causes; or whether there are ultimate limits to what humans can know.”

Nous devons prendre un engagement sincère.
Mark Dever, Nine Marks of a Healthy Church, Crossway, 2000, p. 99.
If our conversion, our turning, is basically understood to be something we do ourselves instead of being something God does in us, then we misunderstand it. Conversion certainly includes our own actions. We must make a sincere commitment. We must make a self-conscious decision. Even so, conversion – real conversion – is more than that. Scripture is clear in teaching that we are not all journeying toward God – some having found Him, others still seeking. Instead, Scripture presents us as needing to have our hearts replaced, our minds transformed, our spirits given life. We can do none of this for ourselves. The change each human needs, regardless of how we may outwardly appear, is so radical, so near our roots, that only God can bring it about. We need God to convert us.

Le peuple de Dieu
G.V. Wigram
The people of God may have to taste a little of the waters of death's dark river, but Christ went to the very bottom of it, and rose again, and is alive for evermore.

Cet Être gouverne toutes choses
Cet Être gouverne toutes choses, non pas comme l'âme du monde, mais comme Seigneur sur tout ; et il a coutume, en raison de sa domination, d'être appelé Seigneur Dieu παντοκρατωρ ou Règle universelle."
Isaac Newton, The Principia: Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy, 1687
“This most beautiful system of the sun, planets and comets, could only proceed from the counsel and dominion of an intelligent and powerful Being...
This Being governs all things, not as the soul of the world, but as Lord over all; and on account of his dominion he is wont, to be called Lord God παντοκρατωρ or Universal Ruler.”

Ce que Dieu demande à son peuple
Dieu demande à son peuple de ne pas se contenter d'adorer, mais de chanter ses louanges "devant les nations". Nous ne sommes pas simplement appelés à communiquer l'Évangile aux non-croyants ; nous devons aussi célébrer intentionnellement l'Évangile devant eux.
Tim Keller
God directs his people not simply to worship but to sing his praises 'before the nations.' We are called not simply to communicate the Gospel to nonbelievers; we must also intentionally celebrate the Gospel before them.

La nouvelle alliance
Tom Wells
The New Covenant is the bond between God and man, established by the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ, under which all who have been effectively called to God in all ages have been formed into the one body of Christ in New Testament times, in order to come under His law during this age and to remain under His authority forever.

La gravité de la vengeance de Dieu contre les méchants
Jean Calvin, Institutes.
Now, because no description can deal adequately with the gravity of God’s vengeance against the wicked, their torments and tortures are figuratively expressed to us by physical things, that is, by darkness, weeping, and gnashing of teeth (Mt. 8:12; 22:13), unquenchable fire (Matthew 3:12; Mk. 9:43; Isa. 66:24), an undying worm gnawing at the heart (Isa. 66:24). By such expressions the Holy Spirit certainly intended to confound all our senses with dread.
John Calvin, Institutes.

Le sens de la prière
William Gurnall (1616-1679)
Prayer is nothing but the promise reversed, or God’s Word formed into an argument, and retorted by faith upon God again.
William Gurnall (1616-1679)
