From the day of Pentecost until the present time, it has been necessary to be of one accord in prayer before the Spirit of God will work with mighty converting power.
John R. Mott
D'abord, qu'il devra un jour rendre compte au Juge suprême de la vie des malades confiés à ses soins.
Ensuite, quelle que soit l'habileté ou la connaissance dont il peut, par la faveur divine, devenir le détenteur, il doit la consacrer avant tout à la gloire de Dieu et au bien-être de la race humaine.
Troisièmement, il doit se rappeler que ce n'est pas à une créature moyenne ou ignoble qu'il a affaire. Nous pouvons nous rendre compte de la valeur de la race humaine puisque c'est pour elle que le Fils unique de Dieu s'est fait homme et a ainsi ennobli la nature qu'il a prise sur lui.
Enfin, le médecin doit garder à l'esprit qu'il n'est pas exempté du sort commun, mais qu'il est soumis aux mêmes lois de la mortalité et de la maladie que ses semblables et qu'il soignera les malades avec plus de diligence et de tendresse s'il se souvient qu'il est lui-même leur compagnon de souffrance ».
Thomas Sydenham (1624-1689), pionnier de la médecine moderne
Considéré comme le "Père de la médecine anglaise" ou "l'Hippocrate de l'Angleterre", tant sa réputation dans la science médicale était grande.
Kenneth Dewhurst, Dr. Thomas Sydenham (1624-1689) : His Life and Original Writings, section : Theologia rationalis, dans un message à ses étudiants en 1668, Londres, 1966
« Whoever applies himself to medicine should seriously weigh the following considerations:
First, that he will one day have to render an account to the supreme Judge of the lives of sick persons committed to his care.
Next, whatever skill or knowledge he may, by divine favour, become possessed of, should be devoted above all things to the glory of God and the welfare of the human race.
Thirdly, he must remember that is no mean or ignoble creature that he deals with. We may ascertain the worth of the human race since for its sake God’s only begotten Son became man and thereby ennobled the nature that he took upon him.
Finally the physician should bear in mind that he himself is not exempt from the common lot but is subject to the same laws of mortality and disease as his fellows and he will care for the sick with more diligence and tenderness if he remembers that he himself is their fellow sufferer ».
Thomas Sydenham (1624-1689), pioneer of modern medicine
Regarded as the ‘Father of English medicine’ or ‘England’s Hippocrates’, such was his great standing in medical science.

Matthew Henry
He is much happier that is always content, though he has ever so little, than he that is always coveting, though he has ever so much.

Thomas a Kempis
God is able to do more than man can understand.
Thomas a Kempis
Ils mettent la science au défi de prouver l'existence de Dieu. Mais faut-il vraiment allumer une bougie pour voir le soleil ?
Wernher Von Braun
My experiences with science led me to God.
They challenge science to prove the existence of God. But must we really light a candle to see the sun?

WILLIAM TEMPLE (1881-1944)
ARCHEVÊQUE ANGLICAN DE CANTERBURY ET ÉCRIVAIN
The only way to deliver me from my self-centeredness is by winning my entire heart’s devotion, the total allegiance of my will to God—and this can only be done by the Divine Love of God disclosed by Christ in his life and death.

A conviction is a determinative believe: something you believe so strongly that it affects the way you live.

Holiness has not legs and does not go walking about visiting idle people, as a lazy Christian seemed to think who told me that he thought the experience would "come" to him "someday."

I have seen many men work without praying, though I have never seen any good come out of it; but I have never seen a man pray without working

Enter into the promises of God. It is your inheritance. You will do more in one year if you are really filled with the Holy Ghost than you could do in fifty years apart from Him.

Ken Sande, The Peacemaker : A Biblical Guide to Resolving Personal Conflict, Baker Books, 3d ed., 2004, p. 22.
To some, conflict is a hazard that threatens to sweep them off their feet and leave them bruised and hurting. To others, it is an obstacle that they should conquer quickly and firmly, regardless of the consequences. But some people have learned that conflict is an opportunity to solve common problems in a way that honors God and offers benefits to those involved.

Bill Thrasher, A Journey to Victorious Praying, Moody Publishers, 2003, p. 138.
We might not be able to speak in any pulpit we choose, but we certainly can pray for any pulpit. People may not be willing to listen to us, but they cannot stop us from praying for them. We can only be in one place at one time, but our prayers can cover more than one continent. What an awesome opportunity to realize that you can cooperate with God and lift the spirit of an individual half a world away from you.
Bill Thrasher, A Journey to Victorious Praying, Moody Publishers, 2003, p. 138.
Rosalind Rutherford
Advent is set (in the northern hemisphere) in the season of the year when days get shorter and hours of darkness get longer. Hope is a reminder and a promise that even if we do not feel very hopeful, even if our life feels as dark as the long nights, even if we cannot see or imagine a way forward, we are not alone. God is with us, even if we can’t see or feel God. It is often at these times of greatest need, when we cannot see a way ahead, that we discover that God is with us, often unnoticed by us until we look back on that time. To live in the faith that even in the darkest times, God is there, closer even than our breath, is the hope at the heart of Christian faith and the hope we return to each Advent.
Rosalind Rutherford
Francis Chan
It's crazy, if you think about it. The God of the universe - the creator of nitrogen and pine needles, galaxies and E-minor - loves us with a radical, unconditional, self-sacrificing love. And what is our typical response? We go to church, sing songs, and try not to cuss.
Francis Chan
John Wesley
What has exceedingly hurt you in time past, nay, and I fear, to this day, is lack of reading. I scarce ever knew a preacher who read so little. And perhaps, by neglecting it, you have lost the taste for it. Hence your talent in preaching does not increase. It is just the same as it was seven years ago. It is lively, but not deep; there is little variety; there is no compass of thought. Reading only can supply this, with meditation and daily prayer. You wrong yourself greatly by omitting this. You can never be a deep preacher without it, any more than a thorough Christian. Oh begin! Fix some part of every day for private exercise. You may acquire the taste which you have not; what is tedious at first will afterward be pleasant. Whether you like it or not, read and pray daily. It is for your life; there is no other way; else you will be a trifler all your days, and a pretty, superficial preacher. Do justice to your own soul; give it time and means to grow. Do not starve yourself any longer. Take up your cross and be a Christian altogether. Then will all the children of God rejoice (not grieve) over you, and in particular yours.
John Wesley
Alister E. McGrath
The Christian faith allows us to see further and deeper, to appreciate that nature is studded with signs, radiant with reminders, and emblazoned with symbols of God, our creator and redeemer.

Dwight L. Moody
A man does not get grace till he comes down to the ground, till he sees he needs grace. When a man stoops to the dust and acknowledges that he needs mercy, then it is that the Lord will give him grace.
Dwight L. Moody
