Though we cannot by our prayers give God any information, yet we must by our prayers give him honor.

Phillips Brooks (1835–1893)
One who has been touched by grace will no longer look on those who stray as "those evil people" or "those poor people who need our help." Nor must we search for signs of "loveworthiness." Grace teaches us that God loves because of who God is, not because of who we are.
Phillips Brooks (1835–1893)

In any matter where we have questions, we have a right to ask the Holy Spirit to lead us and to expect His gentle guiding.

Charles H. Spurgeon, Morning and Evening, matinée du 16 mai.
Our Lord Jesus is ever giving, and does not for a solitary instant withdraw His hand…the rain of His grace is always dropping, the river of His bounty is ever-flowing, and the wellspring of His love is constantly overflowing. As the King can never die, so His grace can never fail.
Charles H. Spurgeon, Morning and Evening, Morning May 16.
Don Kistler, Feed My Sheep, éd. Don Kistler, Soli Deo Gloria Ministries, 2002, p. 223.
When the faithful minister is properly exegeting the Word of God, it is God Himself who is speaking to His people! Failure to hear the faithful minister is a failure to hear God Himself! Isn’t that exactly what Jesus told His disciples? “If they won’t listen to you, they won’t listen to Me!” That is why we are not to let anyone disregard us (Titus 2:15), because that would mean that we are letting them disregard Christ!

La tentation s'intensifie - Rationalisation : "Je me porte bien spirituellement, quel dommage possible pourrait résulter du simple fait de 'remarquer' un problème ?".
Les désirs pécheurs commencent à consumer la vie de la pensée - Rationalisation : "Ma vie est très difficile, alors comment suis-je censé être fort tout le temps ? Peut-on s'attendre à ce que je retienne toutes les tentations puissantes quand je suis sous une telle pression ?".
La conscience hurle des rappels sur la vérité, la famille, les amis et les conséquences - Rationalisation : "Puisque je suis seul, aucun de ceux que j'aime ne sera affecté ; et puis, c'est un petit péché comparé à ce que j'ai vu les autres faire."
Le péché prévaut avec la culpabilité qui l'accompagne - Rationalisation : "Je ne suis pas aussi mauvais que les autres ; je sais que Dieu me pardonnera ; je laisserai cela entre moi et Lui ; je n'ai besoin de l'aide de personne car ils ne feraient que me juger."
Le péché continue comme un modèle, la vérité devient terne et les sensations de culpabilité s'estompent - Rationalisation : "Les gens peuvent être tellement légalistes ; ils pensent qu'ils sont les seuls à faire quelque chose de bien ; Dieu est beaucoup plus aimant et il veut que je sois heureux."
Jerry Wragg, Exemplary Spiritual Leadership, DayOne, 2010, p. 51-52.
Temptation arises and the conscience warns of impending danger – Rationalization: “Because I already hate sin as a general rule, I can be near temptation without desiring it or becoming vulnerable” Temptation intensifies – Rationalization: “I’ve been doing well spiritually, what possible damage could result from merely ‘noticing’ trouble?” Sinful desires begin to consume the thought life – Rationalization: “My life is very difficult, so how am I supposed to be strong all the time? Can I be expected to hold off every powerful enticement when I’m under such pressure?” The conscience screams reminders about truth, family, friends, and consequences – Rationalization: “Since I’m alone, none of those I love will be affected; and besides, this is a small sin compared to what I’ve seen others do.” Sin prevails with the attendant guilt – Rationalization: “I’m not as bad as others; I know God will forgive me; I’ll just leave this between me and Him; I don’t need anyone’s help because they’ll just be judgmental.” Sin continues as a pattern, truth becomes dull, and sensations of guilt fade – Rationalization: “People can be so legalistic; they think they’re the only ones that do anything right; God is much more loving and He wants me to be happy.”

Faith comes through God's Word and through praise. Faith grows as you praise the Lord.

John MacArthur
What happens when a person becomes a believer is that conscience is purified by the Holy Spirit; and, as a Christian, I believe conscience is giving pure information. I believe that the Holy Spirit, in conjunction with your conscience, is going to send pure impulses. That’s why a Christian who sins is going to suffer far more intense guilt than a non-believer who’s got a seared conscience… The Holy Spirit will operate in and through your conscience and make moral judgments on your action.
John MacArthur
Charles Spurgeon
Prayer and praise are the oars by which a man may row his boat into the deep waters of the knowledge of Christ.

CHARLES HADDON SPURGEON (1834-1892)
PRÉDICATEUR ANGLAIS
Christ is the great central fact in the world’s history.To him everything looks forward or backward. All the lines of history converge upon him. All the great purposes of God culminate in him. The greatest and most momentous fact which the history of the world records is the fact of his birth.
CHARLES HADDON SPURGEON (1834–1892)

According to 2 Corinthians 8 and 9, truly biblical giving that pleases God is dependent on His grace from start to finish. God’s grace:
1. Enables us to give generously.
2. Causes us to consider giving to be a privilege.
3. Assists us in viewing collections as gracious works.
4. Inspires us with Christ’s gracious example.
5. Helps us give by means of human leadership.
6. Graciously rewards us with an abundance of money to meet all of our personal needs and to give to others.

Matthew Henry
What we count the ills of life are often blessings in disguise, resulting in good to us in the end. Though for the present not joyous but grievous, yet, if received in a right spirit, they work out fruits of righteousness for us at last.
Matthew Henry
Charles Haddon Spurgeon
Hope itself is like a star - not to be seen in the sunshine of prosperity, and only to be discovered in the night of adversity.
Charles Haddon Spurgeon
Martin Luther
So when the devil throws your sins in your face and declares that you deserve death and hell, tell him this: I admit that I deserve death and hell, what of it? For I know One who suffered and made satisfaction on my behalf. His name is Jesus Christ, Son of God, and where He is there I shall be also!
Martin Luther
Randy Smith
Creation, as done often in Scripture, is personified as always responding rightly to God. Verse 13 and 28 of Psalm 104 talk about creation being satisfied, creation obeying God (verse 19) and creation waiting on God (verse 27). Verse 32, “He looks at the earth, and it trembles; He touches the mountains, and they smoke.” This speaks of a reverent response from creation simply due to a look or touch from its Creator. Obviously, creation does not think for itself, but the point is that God has hardwired creation to bring Him glory. And that not only shines light on God’s glory but is also casts shame on the human race. Reason being is because we have been created above the rest of creation with the ability to think for ourselves and for the distinct purpose of glorifying God. And while inanimate creation is satisfied with God, obeys God, waits on God and respects God, quite often humans, who should be first in line for the aforementioned do exactly the opposite (cf. Genesis 6:6).

Sinclair Ferguson, A Heart for God, 1987, p. 36.
God is a covenant-making and covenant-keeping God. If you have never thought of Him in these terms, then you have not yet begun to think about Him in the way he wants you to. God’s Word describes those covenants, proclaiming Him to be a covenanting God. In a sense, the Bible is the book of His covenant. We even call it that – the Old and the New Covenants [Testaments]!
