Le but unique de l'église
Auteur inconnu
The church’s unique, God-given purpose does not lie in political activism. Nowhere in Scripture do we have the directive to spend our energy, our time, or our money in governmental affairs. Our mission lies not in changing the nation through political reform, but in changing hearts through the Word of God. When believers think the growth and influence of Christ can somehow be allied with government policy, they corrupt the mission of the church. Our Christian mandate is to spread the gospel of Christ and to preach against the sins of our time. Only as the hearts of individuals in a culture are changed by Christ will the culture begin to reflect that change.

L'église
Wayne Mack, To Be or Not To Be a Church Member, Calvary Press, 2004, p. 31.
The church, as defined by the Word of God, is a group of Christians who dedicate themselves to meeting together for the regular preaching of the Word of God; who submit themselves to biblical eldership; who regularly celebrate the ordinances of the church (baptism and the Lord’s Supper); and who practice and submit themselves to church discipline as laid out in Scripture.

L'histoire
SØREN KIERKEGAARD (1813-1855)
PHILOSOPHE ET THÉOLOGIEN LUTHÉRIEN DANOIS
LA PRATIQUE DU CHRISTIANISME, 1848
Every human being is able to become contemporary only with the time in which he is living—and then with one more, with Christ’s life upon the earth, for Christ’s life upon the earth, the sacred history, stands alone by itself, outside history.

Sur quoi repose notre espoir ?
En lisant ce verset, nous pouvons tous objectivement témoigner de l'agitation qui se crée parfois en nous, en raisons de nos pensées que nous avons du mal à contrôler afin de parvenir à calmer notre être intérieur.
Il y a cependant des consolations divines à travers lesquelles Dieu vient apporter une joie profonde à nos âmes. Laissez moi vous en communiquer une que je vais simplement introduire par une simple question : Savez-vous que rien ne vient à l'esprit de Dieu ?
Nous devons réaliser que notre Dieu n'appréhende pas l'actualité comme nous et qu'il ne fait pas l'acquisition des informations en fonction du temps qui se déploie et des évènements qui s'y déroulent. En fait, Dieu sait toutes choses et cela de toute éternité car il se trouve hors du temps et que tout ce qui arrive n'échappe pas à sa volonté active ou permissive.
Dans Lamentations 33.37-38, il est écrit : "Qui dira qu’une chose arrive, sans que le Seigneur l’ait ordonnée ? N’est-ce pas de la volonté du Très Haut que viennent les maux et les biens ?"
Ainsi, lorsque les difficultés vous tiraillent, réalisez que tout ce qui vous arrive actuellement, Dieu le connaissait depuis bien longtemps et que rien n'a échappé à son contrôle.
Il se peut que Dieu ne nous accorde pas toujours une réponse favorables à nos requêtes immédiatement ; simplement parce que nous ne sommes pas toujours aptes à recevoir le cadeau maintenant. Parfois aussi , il lui arrive de nous dire «non» parce qu'il a prévu de nous donner quelque chose de bien meilleur."
Selon Hébreux 10.23, je vous engage à rester fermement attachés à l’espérance que vous avez reconnue comme vraie. Celui qui vous a fait les promesses est entièrement digne de confiance : vous pouvez être sûrs qu’il tiendra parole.
J'espère ce partage vous redonner espoir alors que vos pensées cherchent à vous décourager car votre foi repose sur un Dieu fidèle."

Christ est là
Charles Kingsley
It is not darkness you are going to, for God is Light. It is not lonely, for Christ is with you. It is not unknown country, for Christ is there.

Questionnement
Auteur inconnu, The Kneeling Christian, vers 1930, ch. 6.
Is it not worthwhile to be wholly and whole-heartedly yielded to Christ? The half-and-half Christian is of very little use either to God or man. God cannot use him, and man has no use for him, but considers him a hypocrite. One sin allowed in the life wrecks at once our usefulness and our joy, and robs prayer of its power.

Un prédicateur devrait avoir trois principes
Martin Luther
It is not necessary for a preacher to express all his thoughts in one sermon. A preacher should have three principles: first, to make a good beginning, and not spend time with many words before coming to the point; secondly, to say that which belongs to the subject in chief, and avoid strange and foreign thoughts; thirdly, to stop at the proper time.
Martin Luther

La Bible nous permet d'apprendre qui est Jésus-Christ
JIMMY CARTER (JAMES EARL CARTER)
PRÉSIDENT DES ÉTATS-UNIS
SOURCES OF STRENGTH : MEDITATIONS ON SCRIPTURE FOR A LIVING FAITH, 1997
All of us can try to live an average life—nothing special, but good enough to get along and to make us feel self-satisfied. But an important reason to study the Scriptures is to help each of us define and strive for a transcendent life—a life that reaches above and beyond what is normally expected of us. From Scripture, we can learn how Jesus Christ lived and what he set forth as proper priorities for human existence. We are aware of this opportunity in moments of exaltation or inspiration, when we are embarrassed by our own inadequacies, or perhaps when we are in total despair. The Bible offers concrete guidance for overcoming our weaknesses and striving toward the transcendent life for which we were created.

Exhorter les pécheurs à être sauvés
I.C. Herendeen, Accepting Christ.
To exhort sinners to be saved by “Accepting Christ as their Saviour” without pressing upon them the imperative necessity of repentance is dishonest, and is to falsify God’s terms of salvation, for “Except ye repent ye shall all likewise perish” (Luke 17:3) is the Divine dictum. The sinner must either repent or perish, there is no other alternative. And since “All have sinned” (Romans 3:23) all therefore need to “repent and believe the Gospel” (Mark 1:15) else they will be “punished with everlasting destruction” (2Thess. 1:9). To delay repentance then is most perilous.

Prendre sa croix
John MacArthur, Matthieu 16-23, Moody, 1988, p. 48-49.
Taking up one’s cross is not some mystical level of selfless “deeper spiritual life” that only the religious elite can hope to achieve. Nor is it the common trials and hardships that all persons experience sometime in life. A cross is not having an unsaved husband, nagging wife, or domineering mother-in-law. Nor is it having a physical handicap or suffering from an incurable disease. To take up one’s cross is simply to be willing to pay any price for Christ’s sake. It is the willingness to endure shame, embarrassment, reproach, rejection, persecution, and even martyrdom for His sake.
John MacArthur, Matthew 16-23, Moody, 1988, p. 48-49.

Les bonnes paroles
Robert Leighton
Good words do more than hard speeches, as the sunbeams, without any noise, will make the traveler cast off his cloak, which all the blustering winds could not do, but only make him bind it closer to him.

Une graine
John MacArthur
The seed contains the pattern for the plant that grows. All the genetic code for an entire oak tree is contained inside the kernel of the acorn. Likewise, our resurrection bodies will bear a resemblance to the body that is buried – but with a far greater glory. We will be ourselves, only perfect. And the decomposition of the earthly will only facilitate the remaking of a glorified resurrection body – with none of the flaws of the old, but with all that is necessary for a perfect existence in heaven.
John MacArthur

La communion avec le Seigneur
Comme c’est excitant de réaliser que par la prière nous participons avec Dieu à ce qu’il désire faire dans nos vies aujourd’hui ! La prière n’est pas de changer, d’accueillir l’esprit et la volonté de Dieu.
John Lloyd Ogilvie, God's best for my life
How exciting it is to realize that through prayer we participate with God in what He desires to do in our lives today! Prayer is not to change, hut to receive, the mind and will of God.

Une réflexion nécessaire
D.A. Carson
We do not give the subject of evil and suffering the thought it deserves until we ourselves are confronted with tragedy. If by that point our belief – not well thought out but deeply ingrained – are largely out of step with the God who has disclosed Himself in the Bible and supremely in Jesus, then the pain from the personal tragedy may be multiplied many times over as we begin to question the very foundations of our faith.

C'est notre devoir et notre privilège
Charles H. Spurgeon
It is our duty and our privilege to exhaust our lives for Jesus. We are not to be living specimens of men in fine preservation, but living sacrifices, whose lot is to be consumed; we are to spend and to be spent, not to lay ourselves up in lavender, and nurse our flesh. Such soul-travail as that of a faithful minister will bring on occasional seasons of exhaustion, when heart and flesh will fail.
