Venir à l'église
Mark Dever et Paul Alexander
If we are coming to church only as consumers, to get our own needs met, then we have missed the point of the church. We are not merely intended to get our needs met. We are intended to be part of God’s plan for drawing other people to Himself, for encouraging and building up those who are already His children. Each member is not simply intended to be a consumer. We are all intended to be providers. We are colaborers with God Himself in the work of the Gospel (1 Cor. 3:9)! Some of us may well be introverted or less talkative. But none of us are designed merely to be ministered to, as if the whole church revolved around our own felt needs and desires. We are all called to “stimulate one another to love and good deeds” and to “bear one another’s burdens” (Hebrews 10:24; Galatians 6:2).

Deux choses à se rappeler
1. Dieu est bon en tout temps.
2. Toutes choses, en particulier les "mauvaises", concourent ensemble au bien de ceux qui aiment Dieu.

Si nous croyons que le ciel est notre pays
Si nous croyons que le ciel est notre pays, il vaut mieux pour nous y transmettre nos richesses, que de les conserver ici, où nous pouvons les perdre par un déplacement soudain.
Jean Calvin
If we believe heaven to be our country, it is better for us to transmit our wealth thither, than to retain it here, where we may lose it by a sudden removal.
John Calvin

Les différents jours de la création
Daryl Wingerd
The individual days of creation are denoted by the phrase, “So the evening and the morning were the first day” (Genesis 1:5), “…second day” (Genesis 1:8), “…third day (Genesis 1:13), etc. All of this seems to call to mind a “day” as we know it. And when we study the other uses of the word in the Old Testament, we find that where the word yom is preceded by a numerical adjective (i.e. “first,” “second,” “third,” etc., as in Genesis 1), it always refers to a twenty-four hour day.

Afin de voir l'église de Dieu grandir
Mark Dever
In order to see God’s church grow, we should use the means God has given to us… Preaching the Gospel is the normal way God grows His church. Added to this there is also prayer. Again and again in the book of Acts we find the early Christians in prayer. And as we beseech God for conversion and for maturity, we find God granting our prayers. The more we pray the more we acknowledge that God is the reason for any growth that comes. We acknowledge, in humility, that any growth that comes does not ultimately come from us.

Le Christ est mort pour nous sauver de l'enfer
John Piper
Christ died to save us from hell but not to save us from the cross. He died so that we could be glorified, but not to keep us from being crucified. "If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily." For the Christian the cross of Christ is not merely a past place of substitution. It is also a present place of daily execution.

La Bible parle du commandement de Dieu
KARL BARTH (1886-1968)
THÉOLOGIEN RÉFORMÉ SUISSE DOGMATIQUE DE L'ÉGLISE
The Bible speaks of God’s command in order to call our attention not merely to what the will and work and self- revelation were there and then, but to what they are here and now for ourselves. In its capacity as witness it claims not only our recognition of facts but also our faith, not merely our appreciation of the past events which it attests but also our realisation that matters are still the same here and now, and that as and what God commanded and forbade others, He now commands and forbids us.

Une grande question
Comment des entités collectives anonymes ont- elles pu se montrer si créatives ? Faire preuve de tant de conviction et réussir à convaincre ? N’est-il pas beaucoup plus logique, du point de vue historique, de considérer que la grandeur est au commencement et que la personne de Jésus brisait en effet toutes les catégories disponibles, qu’elle ne pouvait être comprise qu’à partir du mystère de Dieu ?

Occupé à prier
R.A. Torrey
When the devil sees a man or woman who really believes in prayer, who knows how to pray, and who really does pray, and, above all, when he sees a whole church on its face before God in prayer, he trembles as much as he ever did, for he knows that his day in that church or community is at an end.

Comment être juste aux yeux de Dieu ?
Edward Carnell, Christian Commitment, Baker, 1982, p, 302.
Man cannot be righteous in God’s sight until he repents of his own expectation that he can be righteous in his own sight. God is not mighty toward man until man is weak toward God.
Edward Carnell, Christian Commitment, Baker, 1982, p, 302.

L'amitié avec Jésus
Richard Wurmbrand
Friendship with Jesus is costly. Faith alone saves, but saving faith is never alone. It is always accompanied by great sacrifices for Christ’s sake.

Pourquoi Dieu a-t-il choisi d'agir par la prière persévérante ?
Bill Thrasher, A Journey to Victorious Praying, Moody Publishers, 2003, p. 190-191.
Why has God chosen to work through persevering prayer? 1. To purify our desires. Sometimes we may want the right thing for the wrong reasons. 2. To prepare us for His answer. A premature answer might cause us to glory more in the gift than in the Giver. 3. To develop our life and character. We have already stated that one of God’s greatest priorities in prayer is the work He desires to do in us. 4. To be used of God in spiritual warfare. Although we are not told a great bit of detail about the exact nature of the angelic conflict in the heavenlies, we are told enough to be assured of the reality of it. 5. To bless us with a more intimate relationship with God. An aspect of delighting in a person is delighting in conversing with them. The joy of fellowship with a prized person is the greatest treasure.

La doctrine de la persévérance des saints
Louis Berkhof, Théologie systématique, 1998, p. 545.
The doctrine of the perseverance of the saints is to the effect that they whom God has regenerated and effectually called to a state of grace, can neither totally nor finally fall away from that state, but shall certainly persevere therein to the end and be eternally saved.
Louis Berkhof, Systematic Theology, 1998, p. 545.

Dieu
George Whitefield
Every man, by his own natural will, hates God; but when he is turned to the Lord, by evangelical repentance, then his will is changed; then his conscience, now hardened and benumbed, shall be quickened and awakened; then his hard hearts shall be melted, and his unruly affections shall be crucified. Thus, by that repentance, the whole soul will be changed, and he will have new inclinations, new desires, and new habits.
George Whitefield
