John Piper, The Dangerous Duty of Delight, 2001, p. 54.
The widespread notion that high moral acts must be free from self-interest is a great enemy of true worship. Worship is the highest moral act a human can perform; so the only basis and motivation for it that many people can conceive is the moral notion of disinterested performance of duty. But when worship is reduced to disinterested duty, it ceases to be worship. For worship is a feast of the glorious perfections of God in Christ.
John Piper, The Dangerous Duty of Delight, 2001, p. 54.
Les prédicateurs doivent prêcher pour convaincre et changer. Personne ne devrait jamais quitter un sermon sans avoir le sentiment très réel qu'il y a quelque chose dans sa vie dont il doit s'occuper.
Don Kistler, Feed My Sheep, éd. Don Kistler, Soli Deo Gloria Ministries, 2002, p. 225.
Preachers must preach for conviction and change. No one ought ever to leave a sermon without having a very real sense that there is something in their lives they need to do something about.

Paul David Tripp, Dangerous Calling, 2012, p. 26.
There is a huge difference between knowledge and wisdom. Knowledge is an accurate understanding of truth. Wisdom is understanding and living in light of how that truth applies to the situations and relationships of your daily life. Knowledge is an exercise of your brain. Wisdom is the commitment of your heart that leads to transformation of your life.
Paul David Tripp, Dangerous Calling, 2012, p. 26.
Conscient de ce que nous pourrions penser, Dieu dit qu'une foi forte peut coexister avec des hauts et des bas émotionnels, et tout ce qui se trouve entre les deux. C'est un mythe que la foi est toujours souriante. La vérité est que la foi ressemble souvent au processus ordinaire consistant à traîner un pied devant l'autre parce que nous sommes conscients de Dieu.
Edward Welch, Depression : A Stubborn Darkness, Punch Press, 2004, p. 31.
Conscious of what we might think, God says that strong faith can coexist with emotional highs, lows, and everything in between. It is a myth that faith is always smiling. The truth is that faith often feels like the ordinary process of dragging one foot in front of the other because we are conscious of God.

David Helm, Expositional Preaching, 9Marks. p. 34.
While it is true that people are converted and matured through expositional preaching, the word of the gospel must be wedded to the Spirit’s work in order for conviction of sin, regeneration, repentance and faith, and lifelong perseverance to come. Or to put it differently, “Neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth” (1 Cor. 3:7)

Scott Hafemann, The God of Promise and the Life of Faith. Crossway Books, 2001, p. 20.
The message of the Bible provides the only answer to humanity’s most pressing need: to know God himself. Having been created by God for God, the “self” can never be “self-satisfied.” Yet, having lost sight of the God revealed in the Bible, all we can see is our self, with its futile drive to meet its own ever-changing but never satisfied cravings for the second-rate pleasures of this world.

Mark Dever, Nine Marks of a Healthy Church, Crossway, 2000, p. 36.
God’s Holy Spirit creates His people by His Word. We can create a people by other means, and this is the great temptation of churches. We can create a people around a certain ethnicity. We can create a people around a fully-graded choir program. We can find people who will get excited about a building project or a denominational identity. We can create a people around a series of care groups, where each feels loved and cared for. We can create a people around a community service project. We can create a people around social opportunities for young mothers or Caribbean cruises for singles. We can create a people around men’s groups. We can even create a people around the personality of a preacher. And God can surely use all of these things. But in the final analysis the people of God, the church of God, can only be created around the Word of God.

Sam Storms, One Thing, Christian Focus, Enjoying God Ministries, 2004, p.119.
God can do all He wills (and does) but need not do all He can (and does not). That is to say, God’s infinite power is manifested in the works of creation, but isn’t exhausted by them. God could have created more than He has, if He so pleased. What God has done, therefore, is no measure of what He could have done or can do.
