L'expérience est l'école du Seigneur, et ceux à qui Il enseigne apprennent généralement qu'ils n'ont aucune sagesse, à cause des erreurs qu'ils commettent, et qu'ils n'ont aucune force, à cause des glissades et des chutes qu'ils rencontrent.
John Newton
Connaissez-vous un livre que vous êtes prêt à mettre sous votre tête en guise d'oreiller lorsque vous mourrez ? Très bien, c'est le livre que vous voulez étudier de votre vivant. Il n'existe qu'un seul livre de ce type dans le monde.
JOSEPH COOK
CITÉ DANS BILLY GRAHAM, PEACE WITH GOD, 1984
Do you know a book that you are willing to put under your head for a pillow when you are dying?Very well; that is the book you want to study when you are living. There is only one such book in the world.

QUOTED IN BILLY GRAHAM, PEACE WITH GOD, 1984
John Piper, Desiring God, 1996, p. 138.
Prayer is the open admission that without Christ we can do nothing. And prayer is the turning away from ourselves to God in the confidence that He will provide the help we need. Prayer humbles us as needy, and exalts God as wealthy.
John Piper, Desiring God, 1996, p. 138.

Jésus dit : "Suis moi"
Le monde : "Crois en toi"
Jésus : "Crois en moi"
Le monde : "Connais ta valeur !"
Jésus : "Renonce à toi même"
Le monde : "Sois fidèle à toi-même"
Jésus : "Sois fidèle envers moi"

Le Fils de Dieu a été crucifié... est mort... a été enterré et est ressuscité. Le fait est certain, car il est impossible.
TERTULLIEN (C. 160-225) PÈRE DE L'ÉGLISE DE CARTHAGE
The Son of God was crucified . . . died . . . was buried and rose again. The fact is certain,because it is impossible.
TERTULLIAN (C. 160–225) CHURCH FATHER FROM CARTHAGE
Jésus a été crucifié, non pas dans une cathédrale entre deux cierges, mais sur une croix entre deux voleurs.
GEORGE F. MACLEOD (1895-1991) PASTEUR PRESBYTÉRIEN ÉCOSSAIS
Jesus was crucified, not in a cathedral between two candles, but on a cross between two thieves.
GEORGE F. MACLEOD (1895–1991) SCOTTISH PRESBYTERIAN MINISTER
De nombreux faits concernant Jésus sont attrayants pour l'esprit profane. Il a fait preuve d'un esprit doux et d'une grande compassion pour les pauvres et les personnes en difficulté. Il n'a cessé de demander que la justice soit équilibrée par la miséricorde. Ses enseignements radicaux étaient complètement opposés aux conseils des autres : Plutôt que de prôner la vengeance, Jésus a enseigné aux gens à aimer leur prochain de la même manière qu'ils s'aiment eux-mêmes. Mais il y a une affirmation à propos de Jésus qui est très choquante pour notre société pluraliste : la vérité selon laquelle la foi en lui est le seul moyen d'accéder au paradis.

(RÉFÉRENCES BIBLIQUES SUPPRIMÉES DE L'EXTR
Many facts about Jesus are attractive to the secular mind. He exhibited a gentle spirit and showed great compassion for the poor and hurting. He continually called for justice to be balanced with mercy. His radical teachings were completely opposite of the counsel of others: Rather than advocating revenge, Jesus taught people to love their neighbors in the same way in which they loved themselves. But there is one claim about Jesus that is highly offensive to our pluralistic society: the truth that faith in him is the only way to heaven.

John Newton, John Newton’s Letters, Family Worship.
Indeed, a person who lives in the exercise of faith and love, and who finds by experience that it is good for him to draw near to God, will not need to be told how often he must pray, any more than how often he must converse with an earthly friend. Those whom we love, we love to be much with. Love is the best casuist, and either resolves or prevents a thousand scruples and questions, which may perplex those who only serve God from principles of constraint and fear. A believer will account those his happiest days, when he has most leisure and most liberty of spirit for the exercise of prayer.
John Newton, John Newton’s Letters, Family Worship.
Le christianisme comporte trois aspects centraux. Le premier est l'espoir de la vie éternelle, qui est le début et la fin de notre foi. Le second est la justice, qui est le début et la fin du jugement. Le troisième est la joie, qui est le début et la fin de l'amour. Par la résurrection de Jésus-Christ, nous avons eu un aperçu de ce qui est promis à tous ceux qui sont sauvés, car il est les prémices de la moisson du salut. Par l'exemple de Jésus-Christ dans sa vie et son œuvre, nous comprenons la justice, et en suivant son exemple, nous pouvons être sûrs d'un jugement favorable. Par la joie que Jésus transmet, qui prend sa source dans son cœur d'amour parfait, nous voulons partager cette joie et ainsi grandir dans son amour.
L'ÉPÎTRE DE BARNABÉ (DÉBUT DU IIE SIÈCLE)
There are three central aspects of Christianity. The first is the hope of eternal life, which is the beginning and end of our faith. The second is righteousness, which is the beginning and end of judgment. The third is joy, which is the beginning and end of love. Through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, we have had a glimpse of what is promised for all who are saved, because he is the first fruits of the harvest of salvation. Through the example of Jesus Christ in his life and work, we understand righteousness, and by following his example we can be sure of favorable judgment. Through the joy that Jesus mediates, which originates in his perfect heart of love, we want to share that joy and so grow in his love.
‘‘THE EPISTLE OF BARNABAS’’ (C. EARLY SECOND CENTURY)
Melvin Tinker, Wisdom to Live By, Christian Focus Publications, 1998, p. 178.
The devil will try to destroy us by leading us into immoral behavior (Eph. 4:27). That is a real struggle for every Christian. Which is easier: to march around the city and claim it for Christ or to stop running down a fellow believer behind her back? Which is the more demanding: to pray over someone that the demon of jealousy be cast out or going up to someone and asking their forgiveness for the way you have hurt them by your cutting remarks inspired by jealousy? I know which is a real wrestling match for me (Eph. 6:12). This is where the real battle lies in Christian relationships, putting into practice at personal cost Christian truth – not some imaginary Dungeon and Dragons world.

They are born again of the Spirit; they all possess repentance towards God, faith towards our Lord Jesus Christ,” and holiness of life and conversion. They all hate sin, and they all love Christ… They are all led by one Spirit; they all build upon one foundation; they all draw their religion from one single book – that is the Bible. They are all joined to one great center – that is Jesus Christ. They all even now can say with one heart, “Hallelujah;” and they can all respond with one heart and voice, Amen and Amen.

Pastors teaching the Word is the core of a church’s discipling ministry. It provides the food and water that feeds all the other discipling relationships within the church.

Only as we reckon on these twin facts – that I am dead to sin and its reign over me and that I am alive to God, united to Him who strengthens me – can I keep sin from reigning in my mortal body.
