Christ is never fully valued, until sin is clearly seen. We must know the depth and malignity of our disease, in order to appreciate the great Physician.

John Piper
Grace is not simply leniency when we have sinned. Grace is the enabling gift of God not to sin. Grace is power, not just pardon.
John Piper
Charles H. Spurgeon
When a tear is wept by you, think not your Father does not behold; for, “Like as a father pities his children so the Lord pities them that fear Him.” Your sigh is able to move the heart of Jehovah; your whisper can incline His ear unto you; your prayer can stay His hands; your faith can move His arm. Oh! Think not that God sits on high in an eternal slumber, taking no account of you.
Charles H. Spurgeon
Charles H. Spurgeon
God never punishes his children in the sense of avenging justice. He chastens as a father does his child, but he never punishes his redeemed as a judge does a criminal. It is unjust to exact punishment from redeemed souls since Christ has been punished in their place. How shall the Lord punish twice for one offense?
Charles H. Spurgeon

Only the prayer which comes from our heart can get to God’s heart.
Charles H. Spurgeon
La seule réponse appropriée à cette parole que Jésus apporte avec lui depuis l'éternité est tout simplement de la faire. Jésus a parlé : sa parole est la sienne, la nôtre est l'obéissance. C'est seulement en l'accomplissant que la parole de Jésus atteint son honneur, sa force et sa puissance parmi nous.
DIETRICH BONHOEFFER (1905-1945) THÉOLOGIEN ALLEMAND
THE COST OF DISCIPLESHIP, 1937
The only proper response to this word which Jesus brings with him from eternity is simply to do it. Jesus has spoken: his is the word, ours is the obedience. Only in the doing of it does the word of Jesus attain its honor, might, and power among us.

John Piper
If you ask a typical evangelical Christian today what the fatherhood of God means to them, they would probably almost all say, “It means that He loves me, that He will take care of me and guide me and forgive me and take me home to live with Him forever some day.” And this would be true – wonderfully true! … But is it not striking that the most famous of all biblical commands relating to child and father is surely the fifth commandment, Exodus 20:12, "Honor your father and your mother;" and yet very few people today would say that the fatherhood of God implies to them that God is to be honored and revered and venerated and held in sacred respect.

“Perils as well as privileges attend the higher Christian life. The nearer we come to God, the thicker the hosts of darkness in heavenly places.”

John Sanderson
If we only knew how bad we are, we would welcome chastening because this is God’s way of getting rid of sin and its habits. But chastening is resented because we cannot believe that we have done anything worthy of it.
John Sanderson
Thomas Watson
Satan doth not tempt God’s children because they have sin in them, but because they have grace in them. Had they no grace, the devil would not disturb them... Though to be tempted is a trouble, yet to think why you are tempted is a comfort.
Thomas Watson
Erroll Hulse, The Vital Place of the Prayer Meeting.
Prayer is an offering up of our desires unto God for things agreeable to His will, in the name of Christ, with confession of our sins and thankful, acknowledgment of His mercies.
Erroll Hulse, The Vital Place of the Prayer Meeting.
William Barclay, The Gospel of John, v. 1, Saint Andrew Press, Edinburgh : 1975.
It may well be that [we are] denied triumph after triumph because we will not bring to Christ what we have and what we are. If, just as we are, we would lay ourselves on the altar of service of Jesus Christ, there is no saying what Christ could do with us and through us. We may be sorry and embarrassed that we have not more to bring – and rightly so, but that is not reason for failing or refusing to bring what we have and what we are. Little is always much in the hands of Christ.
William Barclay, The Gospel of John, v. 1, Saint Andrew Press, Edinburgh: 1975.
Charles H. Spurgeon
“It is written.” Stand upon it, and if the devil were fifty devils in one, he could not overcome you. On the other hand, if you leave “It is written,” Satan knows more about reasoning than you do. He is far older, has studied mankind very thoroughly, and knows all our weak points. Therefore, the contest will be an unequal one. Do not argue with him but wave in his face the banner of God’s Word. Satan cannot endure the infallible truth, for it is death to the falsehood of which he is the father.
Charles H. Spurgeon
John Piper, Brothers, We Are Not Professionals, Bethlehem Baptist Church, 20 p. 119.
The first spiritual step on the Calvary road of radical obedience to Jesus is repentance. Repentance includes remorse for inward corruption and sin. Repentance is not only remorse. It is a change of mind and heart about sin and righteousness and about Christ. It is a turning from the broken cisterns of the world to the fountain of life.
John Piper, Brothers, We Are Not Professionals, Bethlehem Baptist Church, 20 p. 119.
Le fait de se tourner continuellement vers le monde éternel n'est pas une forme d'évasion ou un vœu pieux, mais l'une des choses qu'un chrétien est censé faire.
C.S. Lewis
A continual looking forward to the eternal world is not a form of escapism or wishful thinking, but one of the things a Christian is meant to do.
