Quel est le résultat de... l'idolâtrie des gens ? Comme dans toute idolâtrie, l'idole que nous choisissons d'adorer nous possède bientôt. L'objet que nous craignons nous domine. Bien qu'insignifiante en soi, l'idole devient énorme et nous gouverne. Elle nous dit comment penser, quoi ressentir et comment agir. Elle nous dit quoi porter, elle nous dit de rire à la blague salace, et elle nous dit d'avoir une peur bleue de devoir nous lever devant un groupe et dire quelque chose. Toute la stratégie se retourne contre nous. Nous ne nous attendons jamais à ce que l'utilisation des gens pour satisfaire nos désirs nous rende esclaves d’eux.
Edward Welch, When People are Big and God is Small, 1997, p. 46.
What is the result of…people-idolatry? As in all idolatry, the idol we choose to worship soon owns us. The object we fear overcomes us. Although insignificant in itself, the idol becomes huge and rules us. It tells us how to think, what to feel, and how to act. It tells us what to wear, it tells us to laugh at the dirty joke, and it tells us to be frightened to death that we might have to get up in front of a group and say something. The whole strategy backfires. We never expect that using people to meet our desires leaves us enslaved to them.

John MacArthur et Richard Mayhue, Biblical Doctrine, 2017, page 70.
In Scripture, the person of God and the Word of God are everywhere interrelated, so much so that whatever is true about the character of God is true about the nature of God’s Word… What a person thinks about God’s Word in reality reflects what a person thinks about God.
John MacArthur and Richard Mayhue, Biblical Doctrine, 2017, page 70.
Je suis d'ailleurs convaincu que les amitiés constituent le terreau le plus fertile pour l'évangélisation. Lorsque la réalité du Christ est introduite dans une relation d'amour et de confiance déjà établie, l'effet est puissant. Et il semble qu'invariablement, lorsque quelqu'un devient un véritable disciple du Christ, la première impulsion de cette personne est de vouloir trouver un ami et de lui présenter le Christ.
John MacArthur, Twelve Ordinary Men, John MacArthur, 2002, p. 123.
I am convinced, by the way, that friendships provide the most fertile soil for evangelism. When the reality of Christ is introduced into a relationship of love and trust that has already been established, the effect is powerful. And it seems that invariably, when someone becomes a true follower of Christ, that person’s first impulse is to want to find a friend and introduce that friend to Christ.

John MacArthur, Strange Fire, 2013, p. 67.
The Bible is the Holy Spirit’s book; He inspired it and He empowers it. It is the primary instrument He uses to convict the world of sin (John 16:8–11; Acts 2:37); to point sinners to the Savior (John 5:39; 1 John 5:6); and to conform believers into the image of their Lord (2 Cor. 3:18; 1 Peter 2:2). Accordingly, the Scriptures are described as “the sword of the Spirit.” For believers, that sword is a Spirit-empowered means of defense against temptation (Eph. 6:17); for unbelievers, it is an implement of precision used by the Holy Spirit to pierce hearts of unbelief (Heb. 4:12). A comparison of Ephesians 5:18 with Colossians 3:16 demonstrates that the command to “be filled with the Spirit” is parallel to the command to “let the word of Christ dwell in you richly,” since they both produce the same results (cf. Eph. 5:18–6:9; Col. 3:16–4:1).

John Piper
La Bible nous enseigne que nos "envies ressenties" sont souvent des désirs de la chair. La plupart de nos "besoins ressentis" sont des désirs idolâtres. Ils sont destinés à être tués par l'Esprit, et non à être satisfaits. Tel est le chemin de la vie, de la liberté, de la sagesse et de la joie en Christ.
David Powlison, Seeing With New Eyes, 2003, p. 214.
The Bible teaches us that our “feel likes” are frequently desires of the flesh. Most of our “felt needs” are idolatrous desires. They are meant to be killed by the Spirit, not indulged. Such is the way of life, freedom, wisdom, and joy in Christ.

Mark Dever, Nine Marks of a Healthy Church, Crossway, 2000, p. 75.
By His death on the Cross, Christ has become the Lamb that was slain for us, our Redeemer, the One who has made peace between us and God, who has taken our guilt on Himself, who has conquered our most deadly enemy and has assuaged the well-deserved wrath of God.

John MacArthur, 2 Corinthiens, Moody Publishers, 2003, p. 131.
The issue is not the skill of the one proclaiming the message, the pa
ckaging of the message, or the technique used in proclaiming it. The issue is the condition of the hearer. Jesus illustrated that principle in the parable of the sower. The same message (the seed) is proclaimed by the same individual (the sower); the only variable is the condition of the four soils. What is essential for the messengers of the gospel is not cleverness but clarity. Only God can open the sin-blinded eyes of those who are “dead in [their] trespasses and sins” (Eph. 2:1; cf. v. 5; Matt. 8:22; Eph. 4:18).
