Spread out your petition before God, and then say, "Thy will, not mine, be done." The sweetest lesson I have learned in God's school is to let the Lord choose for me. Dwight L. Moody

Joie et célébration
Sam Storms
Certainly joy and celebration are appropriate responses to the grace of God revealed in the gospel. But no less essential is the fear of God rooted in the recognition of His majesty and holiness. We must be careful that our emotions and physical displays in times of worship are conscious expressions of gratitude, awe, love, and devotion, rather than an unconscious reaction to the mood or rhythm of the music.

Priez, priez, priez !
William Wilberforce
This perpetual hurry of business and company ruins me in soul if not in body. More solitude and earlier hours! I suspect I have been allotting habitually too little time to religious exercises, as private devotion and religious meditation, Scripture-reading, etc. Hence I am lean and cold and hard. I had better allot two hours or an hour and a half daily. I have been keeping too late hours, and hence have had but a hurried half hour in a morning to myself. Surely the experience of all good men confirms the proposition that without a due measure of private devotions the soul will grow lean. But all may be done through prayer -- almighty prayer, I am ready to say -- and why not? For that it is almighty is only through the gracious ordination of the God of love and truth. O then, pray, pray, pray!

Le Dieu de tout réconfort
Hannah Whitall Smith
When as little children we have cuddled up into our mother's lap after a fall or a misfortune, and have felt her dear arms around us, and her soft kisses on our hair, we have had comfort. When, as grown-up people, after a hard day's work, we have put on our slippers and seated ourselves by the fire, in an easy chair with a book, we have had comfort. When, after a painful illness, we have begun to recover, and have been able to stretch our limbs and open our eyes without pain, we have had comfort. When someone whom we dearly love has been ill almost unto death and has been restored to us in health again, we have had comfort. A thousand times in our lives probably, have we said, with a sigh of relief, as a toil over or burdens laid down, Well, this is comfortable, and in that word comfortable there has been comprised more a rest, and relief, and satisfaction, and pleasure, than any other word in the English language could possibly be made to express. We cannot fail, therefore, to understand the meaning of this name of God, the God of all comfort.

À chaque étape de la croissance
Walter Chantry, The Shadow of the Cross - Studies in Self-Denial, 1981, p. 25.
At each stage of [spiritual] growth, more self-denial is required, more painful blows to self, more reckless decision to serve the Lord Christ with consequent abandonment of one’s own life.

L'homme est comme un arbre
L'ambition
John Blanchard, Truth for Life, Evangelical Press, 1986, p. 179.
Ambition is a gilded misery, a secret poison, a hidden plague, the engineer of deceit, the mother of hypocrisy, the parent of envy, the original of vices, the moth of holiness, the blinder of hearts, turning medicines into maladies and remedies into diseases. High seats are never but uneasy, and crowns are always stuffed with thorns.

La tentation
Temptation is the tempter looking through the keyhole into the room where you are living; sin is your drawing back the bolt and making it possible for him to enter. J. Wilbur Chapman

Venir au Christ
Coming to Christ means I die to self. It’s allowing Christ to reign as Lord in my heart and desiring to see Him live His will through me. It’s death to the relentless but never-satisfying quest for affirmation. It’s freedom from the vain need to promote self. It’s separation from fight to find personal worth and identity. Fighting less for my rights. Decreasing so He increases in me. It’s finding approval in Him and realizing the true fulfillment in living for His glory. Death to self so life might live within us. When the pride goes so does the selfish agendas and the traits like the bitterness, the jealousy, the unforgiving spirits, the critical attitudes. Christ reigns resulting in joy and peace. Eyes are opened to new horizons. Curse is reversed. Life is restored. Randy Smith

Dieu peut-il se révéler à l'humanité ?
James Montgomery Boice, Foundations of the Christian Faith-Book I", page 72, 1986 InterVarsity Christian Fellowship of the USA.
Can God reveal Himself to humanity? And, to be more specific, can He reveal himself in language, the specifics of which become normative for Christian faith and action? With an inerrant Bible these things are possible. Without it, theology inevitably enters a wasteland of human speculation. The church, which needs a sure Word of God, flounders. Without an inerrant revelation, theology is not only adrift, it is meaningless. Having repudiated its right to speak on the basis of Scripture, it forfeits its right to speak on any other issue as well.

Une définition complète de la foi
Jean Calvin, Institutions de la Religion chrétienne 3.2.7
“We shall now have a full definition of faith, if we say that it is a firm and sure knowledge of the divine favor toward us, founded on the truth of a free promise in Christ, and revealed to our minds, and sealed on our hearts, by the Holy Spirit.”

Dans quel but ?
Je suis toujours impressionné par la dignité dont notre Sauveur a fait preuve dans les derniers jours de sa vie terrestre. Silencieux dans son discours lors d'accusations ridicules. Intrépide et courageux face à la torture et à la mort. Le contrôle de toutes Ses émotions. Amour pour les autres dans ses heures les plus désespérées. Honorer la volonté du Père sans hésitation.
Randy Smith
I am always impressed with the dignity our Savior displayed in the final days of His earthly life. Silent in speech during ridiculous charges. Fearless and courageous in the face of torture and death. Control of all His emotions. Love for others in His most desperate hours. Honoring the Father’s will without hesitation.

Une vie victorieuse
Adrian Rogers wrote : « You can live with victory over the desires of your flesh. Habits, attitudes, desires, worries, and dissipation must yield as you exercise authority over your mind, emotions, and will. »

Un grand cri de guerre contre la peur
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The Bible, the gospel, Christ, the church, the faith—all are one great battle cry against fear in the lives of human beings. Fear is, somehow or other, the archenemy itself. It crouches in people’s hearts. It hollows out their insides, until their resistance and strength are spent and they suddenly break down. Fear secretly gnaws and eats away at all the ties that bind a person to God and to others, and when in a time of need that person reaches for those ties and clings to them, they break and the individual sinks back into himself or herself, helpless and despairing, while hell rejoices

L'absence d'humilité
L'obstacle numéro un à une marche intime avec Dieu, dans laquelle nous connaissons vraiment et sommes vraiment connus par Lui, est l'absence d'humilité. Lorsque nous sommes plus préoccupés par ce que les autres pensent que par ce que Dieu pense de nous, c'est l'absence d'humilité. Lorsque nous justifions notre comportement, déplaçons le blâme, accusons, trouvons des fautes, critiquons ou cherchons à nous justifier - c'est l'absence d'humilité. Lorsque nous préférons avoir raison plutôt que d'avoir des relations, c'est l'absence d'humilité. Lorsque nous ne confessons pas nos péchés et nos échecs aux autres - c'est l'absence d'humilité. Lorsque nous ne reconnaissons pas nos péchés contre l'amour - c'est l'absence d'humilité. Lorsque nous n'admettons pas quotidiennement notre besoin désespéré que Dieu nous engendre et nous aide dans notre vie, c'est l'absence d'humilité.
Jack Frost
The number one hindrance to an intimate walk with God, one in which we truly know and are truly known by Him, is the absence of humility. When we are more concerned with what other people think than with what God thinks of us—that is the absence of humility. When we justify our behavior, shift blame, accuse, find fault, criticize, or seek to vindicate ourselves—that is the absence of humility. When we had rather be right than have relationship—that is the absence of humility. When we do not confess our sins and our failures to others—that is the absence of humility. When we do not acknowledge our sins against love—that is the absence of humility. When we do not daily admit our desperate need for God to father us and help in our lives—that is the absence of humility.
