Prayer is the vital breath of the Christian; not the thing that makes him alive, but the evidence that he is alive.

B.B. Warfield, The Divine Origin of the Bible, Philadelphie : Presbyterian Board of Publication, 1991, I.432.
A dozen ignorant peasants proclaiming a crucified Jew as the founder of a new faith; bearing as the symbol of their worship an instrument which was the sign of ignominy, slavery and crime; preaching what must have seemed an absurd doctrine of humility, patient suffering and love to enemies – graces undreamed of before; demanding what must have seemed an absurd worship for one who had died like a malefactor and a slave, and making what must have seemed an absurd promise of everlasting life through one who had himself died, and that between two thieves.

Joni Eareckson Tada, Heaven : Your Real Home, Zondervan, 1995, p. 110.
Don’t think such heavenly mindedness makes us pilgrims no earthly good. Don’t pooh-pooh it as looking at the world through pie-in-the-sky, rose-colored glasses. Sojourners who think the most of the next world are usually those who are doing the highest good in this one. It is the person whose mind is only on earthly things who, when it comes to earth, does little good.

All of our warfare and all of our activity must take place in the context of constant, unceasing prayer. Just as a soldier on the battle line has to keep in constant communication with his general headquarters and his commanding officer, so the Christian who is on the battle line must be in constant communication with his Lord. He might be fully equipped with all the armor, but if he is cut off from personal communication with his own commander, then he will be isolated and vulnerable.

Dwight L. Moody
We have in our churches a great deal of prayer, but I think it would be a good thing if we had a praise meeting occasionally. If we could only get people to praise God for what He has done, it would be a good deal better than asking Him continually for something.
Dwight L. Moody
FIODOR DOSTOÏEVSKI (1821-1881) ROMANCIER RUSSE
LES FRÈRES KARAMAZOV, 1879
The science of this world, which has become a great power, has, especially in the last century, analyzed everything divine handed down to us in the old books. After this cruel analysis the learned of the world have nothing left of all that was sacred of old. But they have only analyzed the parts and overlooked the whole, and indeed their blindness is marvelous. Yet the whole still stands steadfastly before their eyes, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Has it not lasted nineteen centuries, is it not still a living, a moving power in the individual soul and in the masses of people? It is still as strong and living even in the souls of atheists, who have destroyed everything! For even those who have renounced Christianity and attack it, in their inmost being still follow the Christian ideal, for hitherto neither their subtlety nor the ardor of their hearts has been able to create a higher ideal of man and of virtue than the ideal given by Christ of old.

THE BROTHERS KARAMAZOV, 1879
Et faire vibrer un homme
Et former un homme,
Quand Dieu veut façonner un homme
Pour jouer le rôle le plus noble ;
Quand il aspire de tout son coeur
Pour créer un homme si grand et si audacieux
Que le monde entier sera émerveillé,
Observez ses méthodes, observez ses voies !
Comment Il perfectionne impitoyablement
Celui qu'Il élit royalement !
Comment Il le martèle et le blesse,
Et avec des coups puissants le convertit.
Dans des formes d'argile d'essai que
Dieu seul comprend ;
Alors que son cœur torturé pleure
Et qu'il lève des mains suppliantes !
Comme Il plie mais ne rompt jamais
Quand il entreprend son bien ;
Comment Il utilise qui Il veut,
Et dont chaque but le fusionne ;
Par chaque acte l'incite
A essayer sa splendeur -
Dieu sait ce qu'il fait.

When God wants to drill a man
And thrill a man
And skill a man,
When God wants to mold a man
To play the noblest part;
When He yearns with all His heart
To create so great and bold a man
That all the world shall be amazed,
Watch His methods, watch His ways!
How He ruthlessly perfects
Whom He royally elects!
How He hammers him and hurts him,
And with mighty blows converts him.
Into trial shapes of clay which
Only God understands;
While his tortured heart is crying
And he lifts beseeching hands!
How He bends but never breaks
When his good He undertakes;
How He uses whom He chooses,
And which every purpose fuses him;
By every act induces him
To try His splendor out –
God knows what He’s about.

Je suis convaincu que le plus grand acte d'amour que nous puissions accomplir pour les gens est de leur parler de l'amour de Dieu pour eux dans le Christ.
Billy Graham
I am convinced the greatest act of love we can ever perform for people is to tell them about God’s love for them in Christ.
