Discernment is not a matter of simply telling the difference between right and wrong; rather it is telling the difference between right and almost right.
Charles H. Spurgeon
Paul Althaus
The resurrection proclamation could not have been maintained in Jerusalem for a single day, for a single hour, if the emptiness of the tomb had not been established as a fact.

God in His grace grants us His wisdom often through four sources: prayer (James 1:5), Bible reading (Psalms 19:7), wise counsel (Proverbs 12:15) and godly relationships (Proverbs 13:20).

John MacArthur, Matthew 8-15, Moody Publishers, 1985, p. 59.
The first declaration of the gospel is negative – that every man is sinful, separated from God, and condemned to hell. A person will not seek to be saved until he realizes he is lost. Therefore the first step in proclaiming the gospel is to tell men of their lostness, and the first step in receiving the gospel is to confess that lostness. A person will not seek healing until he is convinced he is sick; he will not seek life until he acknowledges he is dead. Conversion, then, occurs in one who is willing to accept the death sentence and also the acquittal of God. The man who does not recognize his condemnation to death has no hope for new life.
John MacArthur, Matthew 8-15, Moody Publishers, 1985, p. 59.
Tu ne pourras te comparer à nul autre chrétien. Tu n’auras plus la liberté de faire certaines choses que d’autres pourront facilement se permettre.
Les chrétiens qui t’entourent, tous gens pieux et utiles peuvent se mettre en avant, ils tirent des lignes de conduite, ils élaborent des plans et les mettent à exécution, mais toi, tu ne peux pas les imiter.
Au moindre essai de faire comme eux, tu seras arrêté par un échec humiliant, le seigneur te reprendra avec sévérité et tu te repentiras amèrement.
Les personnes de ton entourage peuvent se vanter de leur travail, de leur succès, de leurs écrits, mais le Saint-Esprit ne te permettra jamais rien de pareil.
Si toute fois, tu t’avisais de le faire, il en résulterait pour toi une humiliation si profonde que tu arriverais bien vite à te mépriser, toi et tes bonnes oeuvres !"

God heard you the first time. It doesn’t mean that you can’t continue to pray for a situation, but He heard you the first time. As soon as He hears your voice, His face turns towards you. He loves you. He adores you and He loves those that you are praying for. However, He’s asking you to trust Him. If he’s asking you to wait, trust Him that He has the perfect reason for asking you to do so.

Repentance is one of the most positive words in any language. It tells us we can change direction. It assures us God will help us improve. Robert J. Morgan
John MacArthur
Physical illness, whatever it is, emotional distress, financial disaster, death, being forsaken and left alone, whatever shatters your confidence in your own abilities, your own strength becomes your extremity and that is God’s opportunity. A progressive weakening of your instinctive self-confidence that leads you all the way to self-despair is exactly where God wants you because at that point the only thing that’s going to hold you together is a radical confidence in God.
John MacArthur

Have we forgotten our calling? (2 Corinthians 5:19-20) Remember that your first and foremost calling is to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ, and that gospel is a twofold message: His death for our sins and His resurrection for our lives.

1. Tester la validité de leur foi. La foi qui sauve est indestructible. La foi qui sauve dure jusqu'à la fin. La foi qui sauve persévère.
2. Les sevrer du monde. Le Seigneur nous amène à des épreuves afin que nous soyons sevrés de la confiance dans les choses du monde.
3. Appelez-les à l'espérance céleste. Les épreuves aident] à remplir nos cœurs d'anticipation pour les gloires à venir afin que nous vivions dans l'espoir.
4. Montrez-nous ce que nous aimons vraiment. Les épreuves révéleront ce qui est le plus précieux pour [nous]. Si porter la croix et le reproche du Christ est le plus précieux, alors [nous] subirons la perte de tout pour cela.
5. Enseignez-nous l'obéissance. Les épreuves permettent également à Dieu de nous enseigner l'obéissance. A travers ces épreuves, nous apprenons que le péché a des conséquences douloureuses. Les épreuves sont les châtiments de Dieu.
6. Afin qu'il puisse révéler sa compassion dans notre misère. Il est le Père des miséricordes et le Dieu de toute consolation.
7. Développer [notre] force spirituelle pour une plus grande utilité. Plus [nous] sommes mis à l'épreuve et affinés par les épreuves et les problèmes, plus [nous] devenons utiles.
8. Aider les autres dans leurs épreuves. Dieu peut venir à nous dans nos difficultés et nous renforcer, puis nous pouvons venir aux autres avec la force qu'il nous a donnée.
9. Afficher sa puissance étonnante.
John MacArthur
Why does God allow bad things, devastating things to happen to His people?
1. Test the validity of their faith. Saving faith is indestructible. Saving faith endures to the end. Saving faith perseveres.
2. Wean them from the world. The Lord brings us to trials in order that we might be weaned away from confidence in worldly things.
3. Call them to heavenly hope. [Trials help] to fill our hearts with anticipation for the glories to come so that we will live in hope.
4. Show us what we really love. Trials will reveal what is most precious to [us]. If bearing the cross and the reproach of Christ is most precious, then [we’ll] suffer the loss of anything for that.
5. Teach us obedience. Trials also allow God to teach us obedience. Through those trials we learn that sin has painful consequences. Trials are God’s chastenings.
6. In order that He might reveal His compassion in our misery. He is the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort.
7. Develop [our]spiritual strength for greater usefulness. The more [we]are tested and refined by trials and trouble, the more useful [we] become.
8. Help others in their trials. God can come to [us] in [our] difficulty and strengthen [us] and then [we] can come to [others] with the strength He’s given to [us].
9. Display His astounding power.
John MacArthur
“A man may love another as his own soul, yet his love may not be able to help him. He may pity him in prison, but not relieve him, bemoan him in misery, but not help him, suffer with him in trouble, but not ease him. We cannot love grace into a child, nor mercy into a friend; we cannot love them into heaven, though it may be the greatest desire of our soul. . . . But the love of Christ, being the love of God, is effective and fruitful in producing all the good things which he wills for his beloved. He loves life, grace and holiness into us; He loves us into covenant, He loves us into heaven.” John Owen, Works (Edinburgh, 1980), II:63.

Persistence in prayer for someone whom we don't like, however much it goes against the grain to begin with, brings about a remarkable change in attitude.
