L'ennui
C'est pour cette raison [l'ennui] que les gens sont si enclins à adopter un style de vie addictif. De nombreuses personnes qui tombent dans des addictions au péché sont des personnes qui se sont autrefois ennuyées à mort. La raison pour laquelle les dépendances sont si puissantes est qu'elles puisent dans cet endroit de notre cœur qui est fait pour une communion transcendante et une romance spirituelle. Ces habitudes addictives ont pour effet soit d'assourdir et d'étouffer nos aspirations à une satisfaction que nous craignons de ne jamais trouver, soit de fournir une contre-réalisation alternative dont nous pensons qu'elle apportera un bonheur à long terme, des contre-réalisations comme la cocaïne, la suralimentation, les liaisons illicites, l'affairisme, l'efficacité, l'image ou l'obsession de la beauté physique. Elles trouvent toutes leur force dans le désir inéluctable du cœur humain d'être fasciné, satisfait et captivé. Nos cœurs nous conduisent invariablement soit vers les plaisirs éphémères de la dépendance, soit vers Dieu.
Sam Storms, The Life-Changing Power of Knowing God, p. 51.
This [boredom] is why people are so prone to an addictive lifestyle. Many people who fall into sinful addictions are people who were once terminally bored. The reason why addictions are so powerful is that they tap into that place in our hearts that was made for transcendent communion and spiritual romance. These addictive habits either dull and deaden our yearnings for a satisfaction we fear we’ll never find or they provide an alternative counterfeit fulfillment that we think will bring long-term happiness, counterfeits like cocaine, overeating, illicit affairs, busyness, efficiency, image, or obsession with physical beauty. They all find their power in the inescapable yearning of the human heart to be fascinated and pleased and enthralled. Our hearts will invariably lead us either to the fleeting pleasures of addiction or to God.

Une lave brûlante
Charles H. Spurgeon
It is the burning lava of the soul that has a furnace within- a very volcano of grief and sorrow- it is that burning lava of prayer that finds its way to God. No prayer ever reaches God's heart which does not come from our hearts.

Dieu n'a aucune obligation envers les hommes pécheurs
John Gerstner, Theology for Everyman, Moody, 1965, Chapter 10.
God has no obligation to sinful men except to condemn. He may or may not, as His wisdom dictates, exercise mercy upon them. But mercy is not something which God must offer anybody. He offered no mercy to the angels when they sinned. And He says with respect to fallen human creatures: “I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy” (Rom. 9:18). He strongly insists that mercy is optional with Him and a matter of His sovereign pleasure alone.

Louer Dieu
Thomas Watson
Praising God is one of the highest and purest acts of religion. In prayer we act like men; in praise we act like angels.

En attendant son retour
Paul Chappell
“Are you still diligently living for God and serving Him, even in these last days? Now is not the time to ease up, but to charge forward and continue living for the Lord.”

Lorsque l'ennemi se déchaîne
Vance K Jackson
When the enemy rages and attempts to trample upon your territory, remember that God has not called you to be defeated by the tactics of the enemy. God wants you to win. God will fight for you – if you let Him. When you take your hands off and allow God to put His hands on your situation, He will fight your battle. This battle belongs to The Lord. With God, you will not be defeated. Don’t try to fight the battle alone – God is with you, engage His Army. When God is for you, who can stand against you? No one. God is your Battle Ax. God is your Shield. God is your Provider. God is your Protector. Trust Him. Trust that He’s got you every step of the way.

La chair
C.S. Lewis
[The flesh] knows that if the spiritual life gets hold of it, all its self-centredness and self-will are going to be killed and it is ready to fight tooth and nail to avoid that.

La prière dominante
Charles H. Spurgeon
Prevailing prayer takes the Christian to the mountain and enables him to cover heaven with clouds of blessings, and earth with floods of mercy. Prevailing prayer lifts the Christian and shows him his inheritance and transfigures him into the likeness of his Lord. If you would like to reach to something higher than ordinary groveling experience, look to the Rock that is higher than you, and gaze with the eye of faith through the window of consistent prayer. When you open the window on your side it will not be bolted on the other.
Charles H. Spurgeon

Prier, c'est ...
Auteur inconnu
I believe the vast majority of Christians would say, “Prayer is asking things from God.” But surely prayer is much more than merely “getting God to run our errands for us,” as someone puts it. It is a higher thing than the beggar knocking at the rich man’s door.

Lorsque nous traversons la nuit obscure
Alexander MacLaren
“Oh, when we are journeying through the murky night and the dark woods of affliction and sorrow, it is something to find here and there a spray broken, or a leafy stem bent down with the tread of His foot and the brush of His hand as He passed; and to remember that the path He trod He has hallowed, and thus to find lingering fragrance and hidden strength in the remembrance of Him as “in all points tempted like as we are,” bearing grief for us, bearing grief with us, bearing grief like us.”

Ce que nous enseignons à nos enfants
Randy Smith
We teach our children about the world and the Bible. We teach them that the world is bad (1 Jn. 2:15). And we teach them that the Bible is good (Pr. 16:20). That is true, but our children are rarely taught (guided) as to how the two intersect with each other. The result is that they will either be seduced by the world or they will be cocooned from the world. Both are useless to Jesus. The desired biblical mindset is when Christians reject the influence of the world (see it for the deceptive garbage that it is), but desire to love and influence those trapped the world.

L'intérêt de Dieu
John Piper
God's interest is to magnify the fullness of His glory by spilling over in mercy to us. Therefore the pursuit of our interest and our happiness is never above God, but always in God. God's greatest interest is to glorify the wealth of His grace by making sinners happy in Him.
John Piper

Nous devons renoncer à tout effort pour impressionner Dieu
Aiden W. Tozer
“Now, as always, God discloses Himself to "babes" and hides Himself in thick darkness from the wise and the prudent. We must simplify our approach to Him. We must strip down to essentials (and they will be found to be blessedly few). We must put away all effort to impress, and come with the guileless candor of childhood. If we do this, without doubt God will quickly respond.”

Le sens des épreuves
Alfred Edersheim
For God to explain a trial would be to destroy its purpose, calling forth simple faith and implicit obedience.

La fausse audace
Jonathan Edwards
There is a false boldness for Christ that only comes from pride. A man may rashly expose himself to the world’s dislike and even deliberately provoke its displeasure, and yet do so out of pride… True boldness for Christ transcends all; it is indifferent to the displeasure of either friends or foes. Boldness enables Christians to forsake all rather than Christ, and to prefer to offend all rather than to offend Him.
Jonathan Edwards

L'intégrité
Darlene Cunningham
Integrity means that we behave in ways that are consistent with the beliefs, values and principles we claim to hold dear. The quality of the person you are is determined by how well you live up to the values that you say are most important to you. Live your life in such a way that when people think about integrity, they think of you – someone who doesn’t take shortcuts or sweep things under the carpet.

Obéir
Andrew Murray
“Just as a servant knows that he must first obey his master in all things, so the surrender to an implicit and unquestionable obedience must become the essential characteristic of our lives.”
Andrew Murray
