Dieu veut que son peuple mène une vie droite
Dean Ulrich, From Famine to Fullness, 2007, p. xxii.
God does want His people to lead upright lives that conform to His revealed moral standards… [Yet] morality and virtue are not the “chief end of man”… They are the result of God’s grace through Jesus Christ and part of the good work that God has foreordained for His people to do for the advancement of Christ’s kingdom and the glory of God.
Dean Ulrich, From Famine to Fullness, 2007, p. xxii.

La louange divine
C.S. Lewis, Reflections on the Psalms, Brace and World, 1958, p. 94-95.
But the most obvious fact about praise – whether of God or anything – strangely escaped me. I thought of it in terms of compliment, approval, or the giving of honor. I had never noticed that all enjoyment spontaneously overflows into praise…The world rings with praise – lovers praising their mistresses, readers their favorite poet, walkers praising the countryside, players praising their favorite game… My whole, more general, difficulty about the praise of God depended on my absurdly denying to us, as regards the supremely Valuable, what we delight to do, what indeed we can’t help doing, about everything else we value. I think we delight to praise what we enjoy because the praise not merely expresses but completes the enjoyment; it is the appointed consummation.

Le Créateur et Souverain de l'univers
John Lloyd Ogilvie, God's best for my life
The Creator and Sovereign of the universe has created us for communion with Him. Jesus taught us that prayer is not a device for marshaling the resources of Omnipotence to fulfill our desires, but a means by which these desires may be redirected according to the mind of God and made channels for the direction of His will. What does that say about the proportion of time spent talking and Ustening in our prayers?

Le but de l'existence
Sam Storms, One Thing, Christian Focus, Enjoying God Ministries, 2004, p.17.
The purpose of existence is the pursuit of enjoyment…in God! Our desires, affections, pursuits, all that we say and do, all that we love or hate, are to be measured by this single criterion and subordinated to this one end: happiness in God.

L'homme qui regarde et contemple Jésus
Alan Redpath
The man who gazes upon and contemplates day by day the face of the Lord Jesus Christ, and who has caught the glow of the reality that the Lord is not a theory but an indwelling power and force in his life, is as a mirror reflecting the glory of the Lord.

Entendre Dieu
Puisque Dieu ne nous parle pas tous les jours du haut des cieux, et qu'il n'y a que la seule Bible, dans lesquelles il a voulu que sa vérité soit publiée et connue jusqu'à la fin, elles ne peuvent être pleinement certifiées aux fidèles que par cette seule garantie : que nous tenons pour décrété et conclu qu'elles sont descendues du ciel, comme si nous entendions Dieu parler de sa propre bouche.

Devenir des libres penseurs
N'ayez pas peur d'être des libres penseurs. Si vous pensez suffisamment fort, la science vous forcera à croire en Dieu, ce qui est le fondement de toute religion. Vous trouverez la science non pas antagoniste, mais utile à la religion.

La gestion des conflits
Ken Sande, The Peacemaker : A Biblical Guide to Resolving Personal Conflict, Baker Books, 3d ed., 2004, p. 37.
As you worry less about going through conflict and focus more on growing through conflict, you will enhance that process and experience the incomparable blessing of being conformed to the likeness of Christ.

Des distinctions
Henry Drummond
The distinctions drawn between men are commonly based on the outward appearance of goodness or badness, on the ground of moral beauty or moral deformity--is this classification scientific? Or is there a deeper distinction between the Christian and the not-a-Christian as fundamental as that between the organic and the inorganic?

La population du ciel est multiethnique
Randy Smith
It’s without doubt that the population of heaven is multi-ethnic. There are many places you can turn in the Bible if you wish to prove the sin of racial discrimination, but when we read those in heaven are from “every tribe and tongue and people and nation” (Rev. 5:9), it’s unmistakable that God’s does not judge one’s worth based upon a superficial distinction such as skin pigmentation. God looks at the heart. And He loves and welcomes all people who have a heart to do His will. We live in a world that likes to separate. In God’s economy the only separation seen is those with Christ and those without Christ. Ultimately, that is all that matters.

Comment être honnête ?
VOICI QUATRE DIFFERENCES ENTRE LA TROMPERIE ET L'HONNETETE DANS NOS CŒURS :
Premièrement, un cœur trompeur ne reconnaît pas ses péchés parce qu'il ne veut rien en savoir. Mais un cœur honnête dit: « J'écoute. Je suis ouvert. »
Deuxièmement, un cœur trompeur est plus attentif à la façon dont un sermon s'applique à quelqu'un d'autre. Mais un cœur honnête est trop préoccupé par lui-même pour être occupé par les faiblesses des autres.
Troisièmement, un cœur trompeur, quand il ne grandit pas, attribue sa mauvaise inertie aux épreuves ou à son église ou même à Dieu lui-même. Mais un cœur honnête dit: « Je dois me mettre en marche.»
Quatrièmement, un cœur trompeur retarde la réponse : « Je vais m'en occuper. Mais je ne peux tout simplement pas pour le moment. » Un cœur honnête met Dieu en premier: « Seigneur, tout ce que tu veux, même maintenant. »"
Ray Ortlund
Here are four differences between deceit and honesty in our hearts: One, a deceitful heart doesn’t know its sins because it doesn’t want to know. But an honest heart is saying, “I’m listening. I’m open.” Two, a deceitful heart is more alert to how a sermon applies to someone else. But an honest heart is too concerned about itself to be busy with other people’s weaknesses. Three, a deceitful heart, when it isn’t growing, blames its inertia on hardship or its church or even on God Himself. But an honest heart says, “I need to get in gear.” Four, a deceitful heart delays response: “I’ll get around to it. But I just can’t right now.” An honest heart puts God first: “Lord, whatever You want, even right now.”

Le péché

It is not only that sin consists in doing evil, but in not doing the good that we know.

Sur le fil du rasoir
Dr. Paul Davies (auteur reconnu et professeur de physique théorique à l'université d'Adélaïde)
“The really amazing thing is not that life on Earth is balanced on a knife-edge, but that the entire universe is balanced on a knife-edge, and would be total chaos if any of the natural ‘constants’ were off even slightly. You see,” Davies adds, “even if you dismiss man as a chance happening, the fact remains that the universe seems unreasonably suited to the existence of life—almost contrived—you might say a ‘put-up job’.”
