JOHN NEWTON (1725-1807) AUTEUR DE CANTIQUES ÉVANGÉLIQUES ET ANCIEN MARCHAND D'ESCLAVES
Alas, how much time I have lost and wasted, which, had I been wise, I should have devoted to reading and studying the Bible! But my evil heart obstructs the dictates of my judgment, I often feel a reluctance to read this book of books . . . while the fountain of living waters are close within my reach.

C.J. Mahaney
Much suffering in the life of the church is a mystery. We must be comfortable with the mystery. We must allow God to have His secrets in our suffering.
C.J. Mahaney
Thomas a Kempis
For the multitude of worldly friends profiteth not, nor may strong helpers anything avail, nor wise counselors give profitable counsel, nor the cunning of doctors give consolation, nor riches deliver in time of need, nor a secret place to defend, if Thou, Lord, do not assist, help, comfort, counsel, inform, and defend.
Thomas a Kempis
Kris Lundgaard, The Enemy Within, 1998, p. 65.
The flesh works to make you forget the design (that you are saved to be holy) and think only of the remedy (if you sin you’ll be forgiven). It preaches half a gospel (a twisted gospel) to us: “Go ahead and indulge – it’s already paid for.” Those who fall prey to such deception are evidently many, since the Scriptures go to such lengths to condemn it (Romans 3:5-8; 6:1-4; Jude 4).

Alexander MacLaren
The prayer that begins with trustfulness, and passes on into waiting, will always end in thankfulness, triumph, and praise.

The price of prayerlessness far exceeds the price of prayer.

Certains y vont pour rencontrer un ami ; d'autres y vont pour passer leur temps.
Certains y vont pour rencontrer un amoureux ; d'autres y vont pour couvrir une faute.
Certains y vont pour spéculer ; d'autres y vont pour observer.
Certains y vont pour somnoler et hocher la tête ; les sages y vont pour adorer Dieu.
Charles H. Spurgeon
Some go to church to take a walk; some go there to laugh and talk.
Some go there to meet a friend; some go there their time to spend.
Some go there to meet a lover; some go there a fault to cover.
Some go there for speculation; some go there for observation.
Some go there to doze and nod; the wise go there to worship God.
Charles H. Spurgeon
C.S. Lewis
We have a strange illusion that mere time cancels sin. But mere time does nothing either to the fact or to the guilt of a sin.
C.S. Lewis
Adoniram Gordon
Doctrine is the framework of life – the skeleton of truth, to be clothed and rounded out by the living grace of a holy life.
Adoniram Gordon
C.S. Lewis
[The flesh] knows that if the spiritual life gets hold of it, all its self-centeredness and self-will are going to be killed and it is ready to fight tooth and nail to avoid that.
C.S. Lewis
Peter Marshall
Cité par Erwin Lutzer, Pastor to Pastor, Kregel, 1998, p. 30.
It is a fact of Christian experience that life is a series of troughs and peaks. In His efforts to get permanent possession of the soul, God relies on the troughs more than the peaks. And some of His special favorites have gone through longer and deeper troughs than anyone else.
Peter Marshall
Quoted from Erwin Lutzer, Pastor to Pastor, Kregel, 1998, p. 30.
Richard Baxter
You shall find this to be God’s usual course; not to give His children the taste of His delights till they begin to perspire in seeking after them.

D.L. Moody
A holy life will make the deepest impression. Lighthouses blow no horns; they just shine.
D.L. Moody
A. W. Tozer
For not only does sound reason direct us to refuse the guidance of those who do or teach anything wrong, but it is by all means vital for the lover of truth, regardless of the threat of death, to choose to do and say what is right even before saving his own life.
A. W. Tozer
Edward Welch, When People are Big and God is Small, 1997, p. 204.
Persons searching for their gifts think that they can “find” their gifts in isolation from the body. They have forgotten that the orientation of God’s people is outward rather than inward. The question should be this: How can I grow in love for and service to the body of Christ? Gifts are the way we naturally love and serve. To paraphrase Augustine, if you want to know your God-given gifts, first know that the purpose of spiritual gifts is to bring unity to the church. Then “love God and do what you feel like doing.”
Edward Welch, When People are Big and God is Small, 1997, p. 204.
Dann Spader, Growing a Healthy Church, Moody, 1991, p. 18.
A disciple is literally a follower, a pupil, a learner, an apprentice. He is one who has dedicated not only to follow his master but also to become like Him.
Dann Spader, Growing a Healthy Church, Moody, 1991, p. 18.
Le pardon doit être immédiat, que la personne le demande ou non. La confiance doit être reconstruite au fil du temps. La confiance nécessite des antécédents. Si quelqu'un vous fait du mal à plusieurs reprises, Dieu vous commande de lui pardonner instantanément, mais vous n'êtes pas censé lui faire confiance immédiatement, et vous n'êtes pas censé continuer à lui permettre de vous faire du mal.
Rick Warren, What On Earth Am I Here for?
Forgiveness must be immediate, whether or not a person asks for it. Trust must be rebuilt over time. Trust requires a track record. If someone hurts you repeatedly, you are commanded by God to forgive them instantly, but you are not expected to trust them immediately, and you are not expected to continue allowing them to hurt you.
Rick Warren, What On Earth Am I Here for?
J.C. Ryle
When all earthly glory is passed away then shall this church be presented without spot before God the Father’s throne. Thrones, principalities, and powers upon earth shall come to nothing; dignities, and offices, and endowments shall all pass away; but the Church of the first-born shall shine as the stars at the last, and be presented with joy before the Father’s throne, in the day of Christ’s appearing. When the Lord’s jewels are made up, and manifestation of the sons of God takes place, Episcopacy, and Presbyterianism, and Congregationalism will not be mentioned; one Church only will be named, and that is the Church of the elect.
J.C. Ryle

The steamship whose machinery is broken may be brought into port and made fast to the dock. She is safe, but not sound. Repairs may last a long time. Christ designs to make us both safe and sound. Justification gives the first – safety; sanctification gives the second – soundness.
