Aider véritablement quelqu'un
Iain Duguid, Living in the Gap Between Promise and Reality, 1999, p. 46.
To be sure, sometimes truly helping someone demands tough love, matching assistance with signs of repentance, Sometimes we must refuse to give a handout that would simply allow someone to remain enslaved in sinful habits. But our criterion for refusing to give assistance can only be whether our action can genuinely help the person, not whether he deserves the help or whether we will be inconvenienced.

L'union n'est pas physique, mais théologique
L'union n'est pas physique, mais théologique. L'union avec le Christ implique trois choses : la solidarité (le Christ, en tant que second Adam, est notre représentant), la transformation (le Christ, par le Saint-Esprit, nous change de l'intérieur) et la communion (le Christ demeure avec nous comme notre Dieu). L'union avec le Christ est comme un mariage, où nous sommes unis au Christ par une alliance d'amour. C'est comme un corps dont les membres sont unis à notre tête vivante. Ou vous pourriez dire que l'union avec le Christ est comme un bâtiment, où nous sommes la maison et le Christ habite en nous.
Kevin DeYoung, The Hole in Our Holiness, 2012, p. 96.
The union isn’t physical, but theological. Union with Christ implies three things: solidarity (Christ as the second Adam is our representative), transformation (Christ by the Holy Spirit changes us from the inside out), and communion (Christ abides with us as our God). Union with Christ is like wedlock, where we are joined to Christ in a covenant of love. It is like a body where we as members are joined to our living Head. Or you might say union with Christ is like a building, where we are the house and Christ dwells within us.

Chercheurs
Certains d'entre vous cherchent la foi de la même manière que vous creusez un puits. Vous tournez l'œil vers l'intérieur de vous-même et vous fouillez les profondeurs de votre cœur pollué pour voir si la foi s'y trouve ; vous fouillez tous vos sentiments lors des sermons et des sacrements pour voir si la foi s'y trouve ; et pourtant vous ne trouvez rien d'autre que le péché et la déception... Regardez pleinement le visage de Jésus... Buvez sa Parole... La foi vient en entendant la voix de Jésus.
Robert Murray McCheyne, Comfort in Sorrow, Christian Focus, 2002, p. 89-90.
Some of you seek for faith much in the same way as you would dig for a well. You turn the eye inward upon yourself and search admidst the depths of your polluted heart to find if faith is there; you search admid all your feelings at sermons and sacraments to see if faith is there; and still you find nothing but sin and disappointment… Look full in the face of Jesus… Drink in His Word… Faith comes by hearing the voice of Jesus.
Robert Murray McCheyne, Comfort in Sorrow, Christian Focus, 2002, p. 89-90.

Une lettre morte ?
John MacArthur, Strange Fire, 2013, p. 227.
Without His divine empowerment, preaching the gospel would be nothing more than dead letters falling upon dead hearts.

Utilisez l'autorité de la Parole de Dieu
John MacArthur, The Book on Leadership, 2004, p. 141.
The simple fact is that you can’t fight spiritual warfare with magic phrases and secret words. You don’t overpower demons merely by shouting at them. I don’t have anything to say to a demon anyway. I’m not interested in talking to them. Let the Lord do that (cf. Jude 9). Why would I even want to communicate with evil spirits? But I have a lot to say to people who have barricaded themselves in fortresses of demonic lies. I want to do everything I can to tear down those palaces of lies. And the only thing that equips me to do that well is the Word of God. Spiritual warfare is all about demolishing evil lies with the truth. Use the authority of God’s Word and the power of the gospel to give people the truth. That is what will pull down the fortresses of falsehood. That is the real nature of spiritual warfare.

Le proclamer
Nous n'avons aucun honneur et aucune gloire en notre possession dont Il est censé manquer, pensant que d'une manière ou d'une autre nous sommes capables de Lui donner ce qu'Il n'a pas déjà de manière inhérente et éternelle. Notre rôle, notre joie, est d'attribuer et de déclarer et de proclamer à et de Lui ce qu'Il est et sera toujours.
Sam Storms, One Thing, Christian Focus, 2004, p.56.
We do not have any honor and glory in our possession that He supposedly lacks, thinking that somehow we are able to give Him what He does not already have inherently and eternally. Our role, our joy, is to ascribe and declare and proclaim to and of Him what He is and always will be.

La leçon la plus précieuse que l'humanité
John MacArthur, The Truth War, 2007 p. 6.
The one most valuable lesson humanity ought to have learned from philosophy is that it is impossible to make sense of Truth without acknowledging God as the necessary starting point.
John MacArthur, The Truth War, 2007 p. 6.

Incompréhension
John Owen, Holiness, Moody Publishers, 2010, p. 89.
I do not understand how a man can be a true believer unto whom sin is not the greatest burden, sorrow, and trouble.

Espérance humaine et céleste
J.C. Ryle, Holiness, Moody Publishers, 2010, p. 58-59.
Most men hope to go to heaven when they die; but few, it may be feared, take the trouble to consider whether they would enjoy heaven if they got there. Heaven is essentially a holy place; its inhabitants are all holy; its occupations are all holy. To be really happy in heaven, it is clear and plain that we must be somewhat trained and made ready for heaven while we are on earth.
J.C. Ryle, Holiness , Moody Publishers, 2010, p. 58-59.

Sur le lit de mort
J.C. Ryle, Holiness, Moody Publishers, 2010, p. 59.
It is common to hear people saying on their deathbeds, “I only want the Lord to forgive me my sins, and take me to rest.” But those who say such things forget that the rest of heaven would be utterly useless if we had no heart to enjoy it! What could an unsanctified man do in heaven, if by any chance he got there? Let that question be fairly looked in the face, and fairly answered. No man can possibly be happy in a place where he is not in his element, and where all around him is not congenial to his tastes, habits, and character. When an eagle is happy in an iron cage, when a sheep is happy in the water, when an owl is happy in the blaze of noonday sun, when a fish is happy on the dry land – then, and not till then, will I admit that the unsanctified man could be happy in heaven.
J.C. Ryle, Holiness, Moody Publishers, 2010, p. 59.

Une maison pleine de grâce
Une maison pleine de grâce est également pleine de vérité, car la grâce ne rend pas les gens moins saints - elle les rend plus saints. La grâce n'incite pas les gens à mépriser ou à négliger la vérité - elle les incite à aimer et à suivre la vérité. La grâce n'est pas un laissez-passer pour le péché - c'est un pouvoir surnaturel de ne pas pécher (Tite 3:5). En n'abordant pas le péché dans la vie des autres, nous envoyons un message tacite : Je fermerai les yeux sur ton péché si tu fermes les yeux sur le mien. La grâce met la barre plus haut - mais elle nous permet aussi de sauter joyeusement par-dessus cette barre. Toute conception de la grâce qui nous laisse - ou laisse nos enfants - penser que la vérité n'est pas indispensable, n'est pas une grâce biblique.
Randy Alcorn, The Grace and Truth Paradox, 2003, p. 66.
A home full of grace is also full of truth, because grace doesn’t make people less holy – it makes them more holy. Grace doesn’t make people despise or neglect truth – it makes them love and follow truth. Grace isn’t a free pass to sin – it’s a supernatural empowerment not to sin (Titus 3:5). By failing to address sin in each other’s lives we send an unspoken message: I’ll overlook your sin if you overlook mine. Grace raises the bar – but it also enables us to joyfully jump over that bar. Any concept of grace that leaves us – or our children – thinking truth is expendable, is not biblical grace.

Le péché est ....
Karl Graustein, Growing Up Christian, 2005, p. 181.
A sin is any act, word, or thought that breaks a command or instruction from God. Our sin may affect those around us or may be directed at someone in particular, but we need to see that all sin is primarily against God.
Karl Graustein, Growing Up Christian, 2005, p. 181.

Le corps de Christ
Paul David Tripp, Dangerous Calling, 2012, p. 70.
If Christ is the head of His body – and He is – then everything else is just body. The most influential pastor or ministry leader is a member of the body of Christ and therefore needs what the other members of the body need. There is no indication in the New Testament that the pastor is the exception to the rule.
Paul David Tripp, Dangerous Callingn 2012, p. 70.

La sanctification progressive
Jerry Bridges, Transforming Grace, NavPress, 1991, p. 105.
Progressive sanctification is subjective or experiential and is the work of the Holy Spirit within us imparting to us the life and power of Christ, enabling us to respond in obedience to Him.

Suivre Jésus
