Dieu agit en nous
Karl Graustein, Growing Up Christian, 2005, p. 180.
If God has done a work in our hearts, we should want to battle the sin of our hearts.

Le roi souverain de l'univers entier
Le roi souverain de l'univers entier est notre Père. Il ne nous a pas seulement créés, mais il nous a aussi recréés en Jésus-Christ et nous a fourni tout ce dont nous avons besoin. Paul dit au timide Timothée : "Car Dieu ne nous a pas donné un esprit de crainte, mais de puissance, d'amour et de sagesse" (2 Tim. 1:7, KJV). La peur incrédule et pécheresse est contraire à ce que Dieu a mis en nous à la conversion (Romains 8:15). Nous surmontons l'emprise de la peur en sachant ce que Dieu a fait pour nous par son Fils. Nous brisons l'emprise de la peur en réalisant que Dieu ne nous a pas donné cette peur ; il nous a plutôt donné l'esprit de puissance, d'amour et de maîtrise de soi.
Brian Borgman, Feelings and Faith : Cultivating Godly Emotions in the Christian Life, Crossway, 2009, p. 129.
The sovereign king of the entire universe is our Father. He has not only created us, but He has also recreated us in Jesus Christ and has provided everything we need. Paul tells the timid Timothy, “For God has not given us a spirit of fear; but of power and of love and of a sound mind” (2 Tim. 1:7, KJV). Unbelieving, sinful fear is contrary to what God has put in us at conversion (Romans 8:15). We overcome the grip of fear by knowing what God has done for us through His Son. We break fear’s grip by realizing God did not give this fear to us; rather, He has given us the spirit of power, love, and self-control.

Le remords du péché
Bryan Chapell, Holiness by Grace, 2001, page 192.
Remorse for sin does have a place in the Christian life, but we should be very sure what function it serves. Guilt should drive us to the cross, but grace must lead us from it. Guilt makes us seek Christ, but gratitude should make us serve Him. Guilt should lead to confession, but without a response of love as the motive of renewed obedience, true repentance never matures.

Un obstacle
Jerry Bridges, The Gospel for Real Life par Jerry Bridges, 2002, p. 121.
I believe that human morality, rather than flagrant sin, is the greatest obstacle to the gospel today. If you ask the average law-abiding person why he expects to go to heaven, the answer will be some form of “because I’ve been good.” The rich young ruler (see Matthew 19:16-20), the prodigal son’s older brother (see Luke 15:28-30), and the Pharisee praying in the temple (see Luke 18:9-12) all had this in common: They were confident of their own goodness. Their attitude is replicated throughout our society. And the more religious a person is, the more difficult it is for that person to realize his or her need for the righteousness of Jesus Christ.

Réjouissons nous !
Jerry Bridges, The Practice of Godliness, 1996, p. 175.
Paul and James both say that we should rejoice in our trials because of their beneficial results. It is not the adversity considered in itself that is to be the ground of our joy. Rather, it is the expectation of the results, the development of our character that should cause us to rejoice in adversity. God does not ask us to rejoice because we have lost our job, or a loved one has been stricken with cancer, or a child has been born with an incurable birth defect. But He does tell us to rejoice because we believe He is in control of those circumstances and is at work through them for our ultimate good.

Fruits réels
David Platt, Follow Me, 2013, page 16.
If our lives do not reflect the fruit of following Jesus, then we are foolish to think that we are actually followers of Jesus in the first place.

Le changement peut être difficile !
Stephen Anderson, Preparing to Build, AMI, 2006, p. 141.
Change can be difficult! There is a natural resistance to change, but sometimes we (the church) struggle a little too much with change, making it harder than it needs to be. After all, things have changed a lot in the last 2,000 years and they will continue to do so until the return of Christ. Some of the most effective words that hinder a church from moving forward are “we’ve never done it that way before.”

Le plus grand réveil de l'histoire de l'Église
Le plus grand réveil de l'histoire de l'Église a eu lieu lorsque... (les prédicateurs) ont eu l'audace de proclamer la Parole de Dieu et ont considéré que leur tâche consistait à présenter la Parole de Dieu sans fioritures, sans dilution et sans fard. C'est pourquoi ils se penchaient sur les textes de la Bible, en faisant attention à leur exégèse avant de monter en chaire. Parce que c'était là le centre de leur tâche, ils n'avaient pas peur. Leur intrépidité, leur audace, leur courage provenaient de la conviction que ce qu'ils prêchaient et enseignaient était la Parole de Dieu.
R.C. Sproul, Feed My Sheep, ed. Don Kistler, Soli Deo Gloria Ministries, 2002, p. 142-143.
The greatest awakening in the history of the church took place when…(preachers) were bold enough to proclaim the Word of God and saw their task to be presenting the unembellished, undiluted, unvarnished Word of God. That is why they pored over the texts of Scripture, being careful of their exegesis before they entered the pulpit. Because that was the center of their task, they were fearless. Their fearlessness, their boldness, their courage came from the conviction that what they were preaching and teaching was the Word of God.

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.
Sam Storms, One Thing, Christian Focus, 2004, p.56.
