J.I. Packer
Calvary not merely made possible the salvation of those for whom Christ died; it ensured that they would be brought to faith and their salvation made actual.

Those who have minutely studied the character of the Saviour will find it difficult to determine whether there is most to admire or to imitate in it – there is so much of both.

Sanctification, therefore, must be understood as being both definitive and progressive. In its definitive sense, it means that work of the Spirit whereby He causes us to die to sin, to be raised with Christ, and to be made new creatures. In its progressive sense, it must be understood as that work of the Spirit whereby He continually renews and transforms us into the likeness of Christ, enabling us to keep on growing in grace and to keep on perfecting our holiness.

Le choc interne à la civilisation occidentale qui sera la cause de son implosion : "La satisfaction de mon moindre désir est mon droit inaliénable" / "Que Ta volonté soit faite sur la terre comme au ciel". Autrement dit : choc ultime entre anthropocentrisme et théocentrisme.
Eric Kayayan
Jean Calvin
Since no daily responses are given from heaven, and the Scriptures are the only record in which God has been pleased to consign His truth to perpetual remembrance, the full authority which they ought to possess with the faithful is not recognized unless they are believed to have come from heaven as directly as if God had been heard giving utterance to them.
John Calvin
Dieu me préserve de voyager avec quelqu'un pendant un quart d'heure sans lui parler du Christ.
George Whitefield
God forbid that I should travel with anybody a quarter of an hour without speaking of Christ to them.
George Whitefield
Lord, teach me so to conceive time as an unrepeatable gift that I might live my life serenely with Your values in mind so that my life is lived to the full. (Paraphrase of Psalm 90:12)
Je sais que Son amour est meilleur que la vie ! Est-ce vrai pour vous ? Jésus a changé ma vie en un seul instant, une rencontre, son amour s'est précipité. Il a pris ma fragilité et en a fait quelque chose de beau. Il peut faire la même chose pour toi, tout ce que tu as à faire est de lui demander.

I know that His love is better than life! Is this true for you? Jesus changed my life in a single moment, an encounter, His love came rushing in. He took my brokenness and made something beautiful. He can do the same for you, all you have to do is ask Him.

Walter Chantry, The Shadow of the Cross - Studies in Self-Denial, 1981, p. 12.
The roots of this depravity are quite evident in very young children. Babies may not show all the ugly outworkings of sin, but their selfishness is quite apparent. Any time of the day or night they will howl when their little egos are annoyed. Brothers and sisters have noticed how small children are self-seeking. When treats are being given, a “me first” attitude prevails. Small children want the chief attention. It is all self-serving. This all-demanding self-will matures into that of a grasping adult. Though clever devices will make the selfishness polite and genteel, all of life outside of Christ is for one thing – self!… Self is the idol to which all men naturally bow.
Walter Chantry, The Shadow of the Cross – Studies in Self-Denial, 1981, p. 12.
Le repentir, et non un comportement correct ou même la sainteté, est la porte de la grâce. Et l'opposé du péché est la grâce, pas la vertu.
Philip Yancey
Repentance, not proper behavior or even holiness, is the doorway to grace. And the opposite of sin is grace, not virtue.
Philip Yancey
