Nous savons tous qu'il existe des régions de l'esprit humain qui ne sont pas limitées par le monde de la physique. Dans le sens mystique de la création qui nous entoure, dans l'expression de l'art, dans un désir ardent vers Dieu, l'âme se développe vers le haut et trouve l'accomplissement de quelque chose d'implanté dans sa nature. La sanction de ce développement est en nous, un effort né de notre conscience ou une lumière intérieure émanant d'une puissance supérieure à la nôtre. La science ne peut guère remettre en question cette sanction, car la poursuite de la science découle d'un effort que l'esprit est poussé à suivre, d'une interrogation qui ne peut être supprimée. Qu'il s'agisse de la recherche intellectuelle de la science ou de la recherche mystique de l'esprit, la lumière fait signe et le but qui surgit dans notre nature y répond.
Arthur Eddington, The Nature of the Physical World
We all know that there are regions of the human spirit untrammeled by the world of physics. In the mystic sense of the creation around us, in the expression of art, in a yearning towards God, the soul grows upward and finds fulfillment of something implanted in its nature. The sanction for this development is within us, a striving born with our consciousness or an Inner Light proceeding from a greater power than ours. Science can scarcely question this sanction, for the pursuit of science springs from a striving which the mind is impelled to follow, a questioning that will not be suppressed. Whether in the intellectual pursuits of science or in the mystical pursuits of the spirit, the light beckons ahead and the purpose surging in our nature responds.

Martin Luther
What you do in your house is worth as much as if you did it up in heaven for our Lord God… We should accustom ourselves to think of our position and work as sacred and well-pleasing to God, not on account of the position and work, but on account of the word and faith from which the obedience and the work flow.
Martin Luther
L’évangile va plus loin dans cette révélation de Dieu. Jésus est venu du ciel, il est allé vers ceux qui souffraient. “Il s’est chargé de nos douleurs” (Ésaïe 53. 4). Sur la croix, il a souffert jusqu’à la mort, en prenant sur lui tous nos péchés pour nous sauver du gouffre qui nous séparait du Dieu d’amour.
Pour le chrétien, la croix du Seigneur Jésus est la réponse de Dieu aux questions angoissées des humains, la seule réponse qui comble nos gouffres.
“J’ai attendu patiemment l’Éternel ; et il s’est penché vers moi, et a entendu mon cri. Il m’a fait monter hors du puits de la destruction, hors d’un bourbier fangeux ; et il a mis mes pieds sur un roc, il a établi mes pas” (Psaume 40. 1, 2). »

Richard Rohr
If love is the soul of Christian existence, it must be at the heart of every other Christian virtue. Thus, for example, justice without love is legalism; faith without love is ideology; hope without love is self-centeredness; forgiveness without love is self-abasement; fortitude without love is recklessness; generosity without love is extravagance; care without love is mere duty; fidelity without love is servitude. Every virtue is an expression of love. No virtue is really a virtue unless it is permeated, or informed, by love.
Richard Rohr
Billy Graham -THE JOURNEY
In the Bible God speaks to us; in prayer we speak to God. Both are essential.
Billy Graham -THE JOURNEY
Richard Lovelace
We start each day with our personal security resting not on the accepting love of God and the sacrifice of Christ but on our present feelings or recent achievements in the Christian life. Since these arguments will not quiet the human conscience, we are inevitably moved either to discouragement and apathy or to a self-righteousness which falsifies the record to achieve a sense of peace. But the faith that is able to warm itself at the fire of God’s love, instead of having to steal love and self-acceptance from other sources, is actually the root of peace.
Richard Lovelace
John Gerstner, Theology for Everyman, Moody, 1965, chapitre 5.
This, then, is how Jesus made atonement – how He paid it all. The punishment which was due to us He voluntarily received. The death which was the wages of our sin He underwent. The stripes with which we deserved to be beaten fell upon His willing back. The chastisement which was owing us was borne by Him. The price we would have paid by endless suffering He paid by an infinite sacrifice. It should have been I who cried out, “My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?” It should have been He who said: “I am persuaded that nothing shall separate me from the love of God.” Because Jesus paid it all, it was He who was forsaken and we who never shall be. Because He drank the full cup of divine wrath, we shall never taste it. “There is therefore now no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus.”
John Gerstner, Theology for Everyman, Moody, 1965, Chapter 5.
Charles H. Spurgeon
I learn from the Scriptures that repentance is just as necessary to salvation as faith is, and the faith that has not repentance going with it will have to be repented of.

Oswald Chambers
I must learn that the purpose of my life belongs to God, not me. God is using me from His great personal perspective, and all He asks of me is that I trust Him. ... When I stop telling God what I want, He can freely work His will in me without any hindrance. ... Self-pity is of the devil, and if I wallow in it I cannot be used by God for His purpose in the world.
Oswald Chambers
Adrian Rogers wrote : « It is better to be divided by truth than to be united in error. It is better to speak the truth that hurts and then heals, than falsehood that comforts and then kills. It is better to be hated for telling the truth than to be loved for telling a lie. It is better to stand alone with the truth, than to be wrong with a multitude. It is better to ultimately succeed with the truth than to temporarily succeed with a lie. There is only one Gospel. »
