Charles H. Spurgeon
He is not humanity deified. He is not Godhead humanized. He is God. He is man. He is all that God is, and all that man is as God created Him.

William Law
As all types and figures in the Law were but empty shadows without the coming of Christ, so the New Testament is but a dead letter without the Holy Spirit in redeemed men as the living power of a full salvation.

Chuck Swindoll
In vain I have searched the Bible, looking for examples of early believers whose lives were marked by rigidity, predictability, inhibition, dullness, and caution. Fortunately, grim, frowning, joyless saints in Scriptures are conspicuous by their absence. Instead, the examples I find are of adventurous, risk-taking, enthusiastic, and authentic believers whose joy was contagious even in times of full trial. Their vision was broad even when death drew near. Rules were few and changes were welcome. The contrast between then and now is staggering.

1. Confessez et abandonnez le péché connu. Examinez vos sentiments de culpabilité à la lumière de la Bible. Traitez le péché que la Parole de Dieu révèle (Proverbes 28:13 ; 1 Jean. 1:9 ; Jacques 5:16 ; Psaumes 32:5).
2. Demandez pardon et réconciliez-vous avec toute personne que vous avez offensée (Matthieu 5:23-24 ; 6:14-15).
3. Rendez la pareille à ceux à qui vous avez fait du tort (Nombres 5:6-7 ; Luc 19:8 ; Philippiens 19).
4. Ne remettez pas à plus tard le nettoyage de votre conscience blessée. Certaines personnes remettent à plus tard le traitement de leur culpabilité, pensant que leur conscience s'apaisera d'elle-même avec le temps. Ce n'est pas le cas. La procrastination permet aux sentiments de culpabilité de s'envenimer. Cela engendre à son tour la dépression, l'anxiété et d'autres problèmes émotionnels (Ac. 24:16).
5. Éduquez votre conscience. Une conscience faible et facilement affligée résulte d'un manque de connaissance spirituelle (1 Corinthiens 8:7).
John MacArthur
As a Christian, you have the capacity to walk before God with a clear conscience:
1. Confess and forsake known sin. Examine your guilt feelings in light of Scripture. Deal with the sin God’s Word reveals (Pr. 28:13; 1 Jn. 1:9; Jas. 5:16; Psm. 32:5).
2. Ask forgiveness and be reconciled to anyone you have wronged (Mt. 5:23-24; 6:14-15).
3. Make restitution to those you’ve wronged (Num. 5:6-7; Lk. 19:8; Phile. 19).
4. Don’t procrastinate in clearing your wounded conscience. Some people put off dealing with their guilt, thinking their conscience will clear itself in time. It won’t. Procrastination allows the guilt feelings to fester. That in turn generates depression, anxiety, and other emotional problems (Ac. 24:16).
5. Educate your conscience. A weak, easily grieved conscience results from a lack of spiritual knowledge (1 Cor. 8:7).

D.A. Carson, A Call to Spiritual Reformation, Baker, 1992, p. 19.
We don’t drift into spiritual life; we do not drift into disciplined prayer. We do not grow in prayer unless we plan to pray. That means we must set aside time to do nothing but pray. What we actually do reflects our highest priorities. That means that we can proclaim our commitment to prayer until the cows come home, but unless we actually pray, our actions disown our words

Kent Hughes, 2 Corinthiens 2006, p. 134.
It is possible to endure in this life but to do it in a self-righteous, resentful survivor-spirit that is self-pitying and angry at those who do not shoulder the burden with you while being inwardly proud of your grit. Instead of the fruit of the Spirit, there is bitterness and joylessness. In truth, God may not consider this kind of life to be one of endurance, and certainly not one of “great endurance” (2 Cor. 6:4). Paul endured with the inner graces of the Spirit. Sweet endurance is what the Scripture here enjoins… Sweet in-Spirited endurance testifies to the reality of Christ and that He is worth our trust and service.
Kent Hughes, 2 Corinthians, 2006, p. 134.
Les disciples, dont les oreilles ont entendus la promesse et dont les yeux ont vu la résurrection, ont compris que se réalisait surnaturellement la promesse d'une résurrection physique d'entre les morts.

Thomas Boston, Of the Decrees of God, Commentary on the Shorter Catechism.
See here the evil of murmuring and complaining at our lot in the world. How apt are ye to quarrel with God, as if He were in the wrong when His dealings with you are not according to your own desires and wishes? You demand a reason, and call God to an account, Why am I thus? Why so much afflicted and distressed? Why so long afflicted? And why such an affliction rather than another? Why am I so poor and another so rich? Thus your hearts rise up against God. But you should remember that this is to defame the counsels of infinite wisdom, as if God had not ordered your affairs wisely enough in His eternal counsel.

He that is proud of riches is a fool. For if he is exalted above his neighbors because he has more gold, how much inferior is he to a gold mine.

James H. Aughey
Our religion is not Christianity so much as Christ. Our gospel is the knowledge, not of a system, but the saving knowledge of a personal Savior.

When the church takes its mind and heart away from Christ and His words, human authority and tradition fills the vacuum.

Ray Ortlund
Where once there was trust, with joy, honesty and spontaneity, now there might be aloofness, guardedness, even resentment. To make matters worse, attempts at reconciliation can be ignored or even refused. That is when, it seems to me, it is time to turn away. Turning away is not our first response, of course. But it must be a valid, if undesirable, option. After all, we can’t force people to be open, to talk, to reconsider. Until the Holy Spirit changes hearts — I have reluctantly concluded that there really is a time to turn away. Yes, it is a defeat for the gospel. But what else can one do? All that’s left is trusting the Lord, referring the matter to the judgment seat of Christ, who alone sees all things perfectly… Sometimes all one can do is not make a situation worse. That’s hard. But the Lord can do amazing things with brokenhearted people who have nothing left but a longing for His glory in this messy world.

"Il me semble maintenant que les résultats de plus de cinquante ans de recherche sur l'ADN ont fourni les matériaux d'un nouvel argument extrêmement puissant en faveur du design."
Anthony Flew

“It is, for example, impossible for evolution to account for the fact than one single cell can carry more data than all the volumes of the Encyclopedia Britannica put together.”
“It now seems to me that the findings of more than fifty years of DNA research have provided materials for a new and enormously powerful argument to design.”

Watchman Nee
It is true that Satan often uses the flesh to secure the consent of man, yet in each instance of enticement the enemy creates some kind of thought by which to induce the man. We cannot separate temptation and thought. All temptations are offered us in the form of thoughts. Since the latter are so exposed to the power of darkness, we need to learn how to guard them.
Watchman Nee
John Bunyan
God will not lightly or easily lose His people. He has provided well for us: blood to wash us in; a Priest to pray for us, that we may be made to persevere; and, in case we foully fall, an Advocate to plead our cause.

Thomas Watson
The flesh inclines us more to believe a temptation than a promise.
Thomas Watson
La résurrection corporelle de Jésus-Christ d'entre les morts est la preuve la plus éclatante du christianisme. Si la résurrection n'a pas eu lieu, alors le christianisme est une fausse religion. Si elle a eu lieu, alors le Christ est Dieu et la foi chrétienne est une vérité absolue.
Henry Morris
The bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead is the crowning proof of Christianity. If the resurrection did not take place, then Christianity is a false religion. If it did take place, then Christ is God and the Christian faith is absolute truth.
Henry Morris
