Prier, c'est louer
John Broger
Prayer gives you opportunity to praise God and to request His divine intervention in your life and/or the lives of others. Prayer allows you to glorify His Name and also provides an avenue for you to be filled with joy.

Les difficultés
Hudson Taylor
Many Christians estimate difficulty in the light of their own resources, and thus they attempt very little and they always fail. All giants have been weak men who did great things for God because they reckoned on His power and presence to be with them.

La grâce est l'amour
Alexander Whyte
And then, what is grace? Grace is love. But grace is not love simply, and purely, and alone. Grace and love are, in their innermost essence, one and the same thing.

Chaque artefact de la culture humaine
Tim Keller
Every artifact of human culture is a positive response to God's general revelation and simultaneously a rebellious assertion against His sovereign rule over us.

L'un des faits les plus étonnants
L'un des faits les plus étonnants concernant la croyance des premiers chrétiens en la résurrection de Jésus est qu'elle a pris naissance dans la ville même où Jésus a été crucifié. La foi chrétienne n'est pas née dans une ville lointaine, loin des témoins oculaires qui connaissaient la mort et l'enterrement de Jésus. Non, elle est née dans la ville même où Jésus avait été crucifié publiquement, sous les yeux de ses ennemis.
William Lane Craig
One of the most amazing facts about the early Christian belief in Jesus’ resurrection was that it originated in the very city where Jesus was crucified. The Christian faith did not come to exist in some distant city, far from eyewitnesses who knew of Jesus’ death and burial. No, it came into being in the very city where Jesus had been publicly crucified, under the very eyes of its enemies.

Dieu se trouve en toutes choses
"Dieu se trouve en toutes choses, même et surtout dans les choses douloureuses, tragiques et pécheresses, exactement là où nous ne voulons pas chercher Dieu. La crucifixion de l'Homme-Dieu est à la fois la pire et la meilleure chose de l'histoire humaine.
L'existence humaine n'est ni parfaitement cohérente (comme l'exigent généralement les personnes rationnelles et contrôlantes), ni un chaos incohérent (comme l'attendent les cyniques, les agnostiques et les inconscients) ; au contraire, la vie humaine présente un modèle cruciforme. C'est une "coïncidence d'opposés" ( Saint Bonaventure), une collision d'objectifs croisés ; nous sommes tous remplis de contradictions qui doivent être réconciliées.
Le prix à payer pour maintenir ensemble ces contraires est toujours une forme de crucifixion.
Jésus lui-même a été crucifié entre un bon et un mauvais voleur, suspendu entre le ciel et la terre, tenant son humanité et sa divinité... La vraie vie ne vient qu'à travers des voyages de mort et de renaissance où nous apprenons qui est Dieu pour nous. Le lâcher prise est la nature de toute véritable transformation spirituelle, résumée dans la phrase mythique : "Le Christ meurt. Le Christ est ressuscité. Le Christ reviendra toujours."
Richard Rohr, Tout appartient
“God is to be found in all things, even and most especially in the painful, tragic, and sinful things, exactly where we do not want to look for God. The crucifixion of the God-Man is at the same moment the worst thing in human history and the best thing in human history.
Human existence is neither perfectly consistent ( as rational and controlling needy people usually demand it be), nor is it incoherent chaos ( what cynics, agnostics and unaware people expect it to be); instead, human life has a cruciform pattern. It is a “coincidence of opposites” ( St. Bonaventure), a collision of cross-purposes; we are all filled with contradictions needing to be reconciled.
The price we pay for holding together these opposites is always some form of crucifixion.
Jesus himself was crucified between a good thief and bad thief, hanging between heaven and earth, holding onto his humanity and his divinity…True life comes only through journeys of death and rebirth wherein we learn who God is for us. Letting go is the nature of all true spiritually and transformation, summed up in the mythic phrase: ‘Christ is dying. Christ is risen. Christ will ever come again.'”
Richard Rohr, Everything Belongs

L'objectif des efforts de Satan
L'objectif des efforts de Satan est toujours le même : nous tromper en nous faisant croire que les plaisirs passagers du péché sont plus satisfaisants que l'obéissance.
Sam Storms
The focus of Satan's efforts is always the same: to deceive us into believing that the passing pleasures of sin are more satisfying than obedience.

Les religions créées par l'homme
Randy Smith
This is the essence of all man-made religion: Self-absorption, smug complacency, false assurance, boastful comparison, scornful disdain, desired attention, works salvation, outward appearance, spiritually deceived, absent repentance, self-righteousness, self-condemning, unloving and unmerciful, faithless and graceless.

La folie de la croix
Watchman Nee
When one tries to increase his knowledge by doing mental gymnastics over books without waiting upon God and looking to the guidance of the Holy Spirit, his soul is plainly in full swing. This will deplete his spiritual life. Because the fall of man was occasioned by seeking knowledge, God uses the foolishness of the cross to "destroy the wisdom of the wise."
Watchman Nee

Prêcher
Haddon Robinson, Biblical Preaching, Baker, 1980, p. 18.
Preaching means, “to cry out, herald, or exhort.” Preaching should so stir a man that he pours out the message with passion and fervor. Not all passionate pleading from a pulpit, however, possesses divine authority. When a preacher speaks as a herald, he must cry out “the Word.” Anything less cannot legitimately pass for Christian preaching.

La liberté de donner
C.S. Lewis
I do not believe one can settle how much we ought to give. I am afraid the only safe rule is to give more than we can spare. In other words, if our expenditure on comforts, luxuries, amusements, etc., is up to the standard common among those with the same income as our own, we are probably giving away too little. If our charities do not at all pinch or hamper us, I should say they are too small. There ought to be things we should like to do and cannot do because our charitable expenditure excludes them.

La prédication
Bernard Manning, A Layman in the Ministry, Independent Press, 1942, p. 138.
[Preaching is] a manifestation of the Incarnate Word, from the Written Word, by the Spoken Word. [It is] a most solemn act of worship, in which the thing given – the Gospel of the Son of God – overshadows and even transfigures the preacher by whom it is declared.
Bernard Manning, A Layman in the Ministry, Independent Press, 1942, p. 138.

Dieu a donné à chacun de nous une conscience
Jerry Bridges, The Gospel for Real Life, 2002, p. 70.
God has given each of us a conscience, a moral compass within our hearts, bearing witness to His Law. In sinful or self-righteous people (that is, people whose dominant characteristics are either obvious sin or obvious self-righteousness) the conscience is to some degree “hardened.” That is, it is relatively insensitive to sin or its own self-righteousness. But in a growing Christian the conscience becomes more and more sensitive to violations of God’s Law. As a result, our consciences continually indict us, accusing us of not only particular sins, but, more important, of our overall sinfulness. We recognize more and more that specific acts of sin are simply the expressions of our still-wicked hearts.
Jerry Bridges, The Gospel for Real Life, 2002, p. 70.

Une compassion

There is no sin in the whole catalogue of sins you can name but Christ will deliver you from it perfectly.
