Les lois de la nature
Professeur Steven Weinberg
(lauréat du prix Nobel de physique des hautes énergies [un domaine scientifique qui traite de l'univers très primitif], écrivant dans la revue "Scientific American").
“...how surprising it is that the laws of nature and the initial conditions of the universe should allow for the existence of beings who could observe it. Life as we know it would be impossible if any one of several physical quantities had slightly different values.”
Professor Steven Weinberg
(Nobel Laureate in High Energy Physics [a field of science that deals with the very early universe], writing in the journal “Scientific American”.)

Un enseignement sans imperfection
C. S. LEWIS (CLIVE STAPLES LEWIS) (1898-1963)
ÉRUDIT LITTÉRAIRE IRLANDAIS, APOLOGISTE CHRÉTIEN ET ÉCRIVAIN
REFLECTIONS ON THE PSALMS, 1955
We may observe that the teaching of Our Lord Himself, in which there is no imperfection, is not given us in that cut- and-dried, fool-proof, systematic fashion we might have expected or desired. He wrote no book. We have only reported sayings, most of them uttered in answer to questions, shaped in some degree by their context. . . . Since this is what God has done, this, we must conclude, was best. It may be that what we should have liked would have been fatal to us if granted. It may be indispensable that Our Lord’s teaching, by that elusiveness (to our systematising intellect),should demand a response from the whole man, should make it so clear that there is no question of learning a subject but of steeping ourselves in a Personality, acquiring a new outlook and temper, breathing a new atmosphere, suffering Him, in His own way, to rebuild in us the defaced image of Himself.

Paradoxe
Dieu n'a pas de plus grande controverse avec son peuple aujourd'hui que le fait qu'avec des promesses illimitées de prière croyante, il y a si peu de gens qui se donnent réellement à l'intercession.
Arthur Pierson
God has no greater controversy with His people today than this, that with boundless promises to believing prayer, there are so few who actually give themselves unto intercession.

Se réconcilier avec les autres
Ken Sande, The Peacemaker : A Biblical Guide to Resolving Personal Conflict, Baker Books, 3d ed., 2004, p. 252.
Do all you can to be reconciled to others, but remember that you cannot force others to do what is right. If you have done everything within your power to resolve a conflict, you have fulfilled your responsibility to God and may stop actively trying to solve the problem (Rom. 12:18)… It is not necessary or wise to waste time, energy, and resources fretting about someone who stubbornly refuses to be reconciled.

La voie des mots
OSWALD CHAMBERS (1874-1917)
ÉVANGÉLISTE ET ÉCRIVAIN ÉCOSSAIS
MY UTMOST FOR HIS HIGHEST
The Bible has been so many words to us—clouds and darkness—then all of a sudden the words become spirit and full of life because Jesus re-speaks them to us in a particular condition. That is the way God speaks to us, not by visions and dreams, but by words. When a man gets to God it is by the most simple way of words.

L'habitude prière
J.C. Ryle, A Call to Prayer
Of all the evidences of the real work of the Spirit, a habit of hearty private prayer is one of the most satisfactory that can be named. A man may preach from false motives. A man may write books and make fine speeches and seem diligent in good works, and yet be a Judas Iscariot. But a man seldom goes into his closet, and pours out his soul before God in secret, unless he is serious.

La conversion
Millard Erickson, Christian Theology, Baker, 1998, p. 946.
Conversion is a single entity that has two distinguishable but inseparable aspects: repentance and faith. Repentance is the unbeliever’s turning away from sin, and faith is his or her turning to Christ. They are, respectively, the negative and positive aspect of the same occurrence.
Millard Erickson, Christian Theology, Baker, 1998, p. 946.

La raison de prier
John Piper, The Line of Prayer, 2 Corinthiens 1:11, 1981.
The reason for praying is so that God will be thanked when the blessings come. And God loves to be thanked. He loves to be acknowledged and praised as the giver of all good gifts. His great goal in history from beginning to end is to be glorified as the source of all blessing. Therefore, when we urge many people to pray for something that we need, we create a situation in which the provision of that need will produce many thanksgivings to God. And in that way we tap into a tremendous incentive that God has, namely, to glorify Himself by winning the gratitude of many people. God loves to be thanked by many people. Therefore, there is a power in church-wide prayer, because the more people there are praying for the spiritual life of our church, the more thanksgiving will ascend to God when He gives it.
John Piper, The Line of Prayer, 2 Corinthians 1:11, 1981.

Si nous sommes vides et pauvres
Thomas Manton
If we be empty and poor, it is not because God's hand is straitened, but ours is not opened.

Deux choses à ne jamais oublier
Deux choses à ne jamais oublier au sujet de Satan :
1. Il peut faire des miracles (cf. 2 Thessaloniciens 2.9).
2. Il est un théologien particulièrement astucieux (cf. Luc 4.9-11).

Un sentiment interne
Randy Smith
When have you most recently felt the crushing pain of a burdened heart, darkened soul or guilty conscience solely because of your sin against God? Does sin hurt you as much as it hurts God? Does it make you sick, grieved or disappointed? Does it weigh on you prompting repentance and calling to God for restoration? Do you ever feel that your sin has divided you from a rich relationship with God and the feeling is one of emptiness, despair and regret?

Le récit biblique de la création
John MacArthur, The Battle for the Beginning, 2001, p. 27.
If the biblical creation account is in any degree unreliable, the rest of Scripture stands on a shaky foundation.

Le cœur et l'essence de l'Évangile
A.J. Gossip
The core and essence of the Gospel is its tremendous and glorious revelation of how deadly is God's hatred of sin, so that He cannot stand having it in the same universe as Himself, and will go any length, and will pay any price, and will make any sacrifice, to master and abolish it, is set upon so doing in our hearts, thank God, as elsewhere.

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.

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.
C.S. Lewis, Reflections on the Psalms, Brace and World, 1958, p. 94-95.
