John Piper, Desiring God, 1996, p. 156.
In prayer we admit our poverty and God’s prosperity, our bankruptcy and His bounty, our misery and His mercy. Therefore, prayer highly exalts and glorifies God precisely by pursuing everything we long for in Him and not in ourselves.
John Piper, Desiring God, 1996, p. 156.
Un esprit ingrat et plaintif est un péché permanent contre Dieu, et une cause de malheur presque continuel ; et pourtant, comme un tel esprit est commun. Combien nous sommes enclins à oublier les bienfaits de la vie et à nous souvenir de ses maux et à les ruminer, à oublier ses joies et à ne penser qu'à ses peines, à oublier la reconnaissance et à ne penser qu'à se plaindre.
John Broadus, Christian Joy.
An unthankful and complaining spirit is an abiding sin against God, and a cause of almost continual unhappiness; and yet how common such a spirit is. How prone we seem to be to forget the good that life knows, and remember and brood over its evil – to forget its joys, and think only of its sorrows – to forget thankfulness, and remember only to complain.
John Broadus, Christian Joy.

Let’s use the idea of "binding Satan," which is taught in some churches as a norm for Christian living. In Revelation 20:1-10 we read that Satan will be bound for a thousand years, later released for a short time, and finally thrown into the lake of fire (hell) for eternal punishment. In other words, it seems quite clear that until Satan is bound for the thousand years, he is not bound. He will not be bound until Scripture says he will be bound. The 1000 years of Revelation 20, when the Lord returns to this earth to set up His millennial kingdom, is a future event. Therefore the "binding of Satan" today is really unscriptural terminology and unscriptural practice, even though the intent may be for the glory of God. Christians who spiritualize the 1000 years of Revelation 20 to the present "Christian age" (the "amillennial" view of Revelation) are inconsistent if they call for the "binding" of Satan. If Revelation 20 is in the present time, then Satan is already bound by God, and he doesn’t need to be bound again and again by Christians! Any way you look at it, "binding Satan" shouldn’t be part of normal Christian conduct today.

Thomas Watson
“Prayer as it comes from the saint is weak and languid; but when the arrow of a saint’s prayer is put into the bow of Christ’s intercession it pierces the throne of grace.”
Thomas Watson
Andrew Murray (1821-1917), pasteur sud-africain
The majority of Christian men and women who pray to a Living God know very little about real prevailing prayer. Yet prayer is the key that unlocks the door of God’s treasure-house. It is not too much to say that all real growth in the spiritual life – all victory over temptation, all confidence and peace in the presence of difficulties and dangers, all repose of spirit in times of great disappointment or loss, all habitual communion with God – depends upon the practice of secret prayer.
Andrew Murray (1821-1917, South African pastor
D.A. Carson, The Difficult Doctrine of the Love of God, Crossway, 2000, p. 70.
Both God’s love and God’s wrath are ratcheted up in the move from the old covenant to the new, from the Old Testament to the New. These themes barrel along through redemptive history, unresolved, until they come to a resounding climax – in the cross.
D.A. Carson, The Difficult Doctrine of the Love of God, Crossway, 2000, p. 70.
J.I. Packer, Rediscovering Holiness, 1992, Regal, 1992, p. 138.
It is, in fact, a law of the spiritual life that the further you go, the more you are aware of the distance still to be covered. Your growing desire for God makes you increasingly conscious, not so much of where you are in your relationship with Him as of where as yet you are not.
J.I. Packer, Rediscovering Holiness, 1992, Regal, 1992, p. 138.
Un ami est l'une des plus grandes bénédictions sur terre. Ne me parlez pas d'argent : l'affection vaut mieux que l'or ; la sympathie vaut mieux que les terres. C 'est le pauvre homme qui n'a pas d'amis. J'en connais un qui est plus proche qu'un frère. (Proverbes 18:24) Je connais Celui qui est prêt à être votre ami pour le temps et pour l'éternité, si vous le recevez. Écoutez-moi, pendant que j'essaie de vous dire quelque chose sur Lui. L'Ami que je veux que tu saches est Jésus-Christ. Heureux est cette famille dans laquelle Christ a la place, la plus grande place ! Heureux est cette personne dont l'ami en chef est le Christ.
J.C. Ryle
Dieu est le plus grand bien de la créature rationnelle, et le plaisir en Lui est le seul bonheur avec lequel nos âmes peuvent être satisfaites. Profiter pleinement de Dieu dans le ciel est infiniment mieux que les habitations et lieux les plus agréables ici.
Jonathan Edwards
En général, nous pouvons dire que certains péchés ont des conséquences plus néfastes que d'autres s'ils déshonorent davantage Dieu ou s'ils causent plus de tort à nous-mêmes, aux autres ou à l'Église. De plus, les péchés commis volontairement, de manière répétée et en connaissance de cause, avec un cœur insensible, déplaisent davantage à Dieu que ceux qui sont commis par ignorance et ne sont pas répétés, ou qui sont commis avec un mélange de motifs bons et impurs et sont suivis de remords et de repentir.
Wayne Grudem et Jeff Purswell
In general, we may say that some sins have more harmful consequences than others if they bring more dishonor to God or if they cause more harm to ourselves, to others, or to the church. Moreover, those sins that are done willfully, repeatedly, and knowingly, with a calloused heart, are more displeasing to God than those that are done out of ignorance and are not repeated, or are done with a mixture of good and impure motives and are followed by remorse and repentance.

If you have no opposition in the place you serve, you’re serving in the wrong place.

Jonathan Edwards
It is the sword of the Spirit that pierces [Satan] and conquers him. It is that great and strong sword with which God punishes Leviathan, that crooked serpent. It is that sharp sword that proceeds out of the mouth of Him who sat on the horse, with which He smites his enemies. Every text is a dart to torment the old serpent. He has felt the stinging smart thousands of times. Therefore, he is engaged against the Bible and hates every word of it.
Jonathan Edwards
Gregory Thornbury, Qui sera sauvé ?
The biblical portrait of salvation centers around the antithesis between the greatness of God and the desperate condition of humanity.
Gregory Thornbury, Who Will Be Saved?
Ne confonds pas ta repentance et ta foi comme ta justice. Votre seule justice est la justice imputée du Christ.
Jonathan Song
L'autosatisfaction est le chef-d'œuvre du diable pour nous amener à avoir une bonne opinion de nous-mêmes.
Thomas Adams
Self-righteousness is the devil's masterpiece to make us think well of ourselves.
Thomas Adams
Si Jésus a pardonné à ceux qui l'ont cloué sur la croix, et si Dieu nous pardonne à vous et à moi, comment pouvez-vous refuser votre pardon à quelqu'un d'autre ?
Anne Graham Lotz
If Jesus forgave those who nailed Him to the cross, and if God forgives you and me, how can you withhold your forgiveness from someone else?
Anne Graham Lotz
Charles H. Spurgeon
“Death in its substance has been removed, and only the shadow of it remains... Nobody is afraid of a shadow, for a shadow cannot block a man’s pathway for even a moment. The shadow of a dog can’t bite; the shadow of a sword can’t kill.”
Charles H. Spurgeon
Sam Storms
Creation in its totality exists as a means to the fulfillment of some specific purpose that terminates on and for the sake of Jesus Christ (see Col. 1:16; 2 Tim. 2:19).
Sam Storms
Nos âmes ne peuvent pas sortir de la fange du péché parce qu'elles sont mortes. Le salut ne vient pas à ceux qui crient : «Montrez-moi le chemin du ciel», mais à ceux qui pleurent, «Emmenez-moi là car je ne peux pas.»
