G.V. Wigram
Cet Être gouverne toutes choses, non pas comme l'âme du monde, mais comme Seigneur sur tout ; et il a coutume, en raison de sa domination, d'être appelé Seigneur Dieu παντοκρατωρ ou Règle universelle."
Isaac Newton, The Principia: Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy, 1687
“This most beautiful system of the sun, planets and comets, could only proceed from the counsel and dominion of an intelligent and powerful Being...
This Being governs all things, not as the soul of the world, but as Lord over all; and on account of his dominion he is wont, to be called Lord God παντοκρατωρ or Universal Ruler.”
Isaac Newton, The Principia: Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy, 1867
Tim Keller
God directs his people not simply to worship but to sing his praises 'before the nations.' We are called not simply to communicate the Gospel to nonbelievers; we must also intentionally celebrate the Gospel before them.

Tom Wells
The New Covenant is the bond between God and man, established by the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ, under which all who have been effectively called to God in all ages have been formed into the one body of Christ in New Testament times, in order to come under His law during this age and to remain under His authority forever.
Tom Wells
Jean Calvin, Institutes.
Now, because no description can deal adequately with the gravity of God’s vengeance against the wicked, their torments and tortures are figuratively expressed to us by physical things, that is, by darkness, weeping, and gnashing of teeth (Mt. 8:12; 22:13), unquenchable fire (Matthew 3:12; Mk. 9:43; Isa. 66:24), an undying worm gnawing at the heart (Isa. 66:24). By such expressions the Holy Spirit certainly intended to confound all our senses with dread.
John Calvin, Institutes.
William Gurnall (1616-1679)
Prayer is nothing but the promise reversed, or God’s Word formed into an argument, and retorted by faith upon God again.
William Gurnall (1616-1679)
Pamela Christian
Faith is like insurance. It needs to be wholly in place before there's a crisis.

Jerry Bridges, The Practice of Godliness, NavPress, 1996, p. 164.
We must take the initiative to restore peace. Jesus taught that it makes no difference whether you have wronged your brother or he has wronged you. Either way, you are always responsible to initiate efforts toward peace (see Matthew 5:23-24 and 18:15). If we are serious about intently pursuing peace, we won’t be concerned about which of us is the offending party. We will have one goal: To restore peace in a godly manner. Unresolved conflict between believers is sin and must be treated as such; otherwise, it will spread throughout the body like cancer until it requires radical spiritual surgery. Far better to deal with it when it is easily contained.
Jerry Bridges, The Practice of Godliness, NavPress, 1996, p. 164.
Richard Owen Roberts, Preaching that Hinders Revival, Revival Commentary, v. 2, n. 2.
Can a self-called man preach with the same authority as a God-called preacher? Can a man whose confidence in the Holy Scriptures is shaken by personal doubts preach with the authority of the man whose whole heart, soul and mind are dominated by conviction concerning the absolute accuracy of the Bible? Can a man whose own conscience rises up in condemnation of him for some secret sin in his life preach with the same authority as the man whose conscience condemns him not (I John 3:21-22)?
Richard Owen Roberts, Preaching that Hinders Revival, Revival Commentary, v. 2, n. 2.
Oscar Romero
The absolute desire of 'having more' encourages the selfishness that destroys communal bonds among the children of God. It does so because the idolatry of riches prevents the majority from sharing the goods that the Creator has made for all, and in the all-possessing minority it produces an exaggerated pleasure in these goods.
Oscar Romero
Charles Spurgeon
Poor human nature cannot bear such strains as heavenly triumphs bring to it; there must come a reaction. Excess of joy or excitement must be paid for by subsequent depressions. While the trial lasts, the strength is equal to the emergency; but when it is over, natural weakness claims the right to show itself.
Charles Spurgeon
Johannes Kepler, Defundamentis Astrologiae Certioribus, Thèse XX (1601)
The chief aim of all investigations of the external world should be to discover the rational order and harmony which has been imposed on it by God and which He revealed to us in the language of mathematics.

Robert Murray McCheyne
As long as the Spirit dwells in my heart, He deadens me to sin, so that, if lawfully called through temptation, I may reckon upon God carrying me through. But when the Spirit leaves me, I am like dry gunpowder.

Mark Dever, The Gospel and Personal Evangelism, Crossway, 2007, p. 112.
The Christian call to evangelism is not simply a call to persuade people to make decisions, but rather to proclaim to them the good news of salvation in Christ, to call them to repentance, and to give God the glory for regeneration and conversion.
Mark Dever, The Gospel and Personal Evangelism, Crossway, 2007, p. 112.

No religion stands or falls with a claim about the resurrection of its founder in the way Christianity does.

Billy GRAHAM
La souveraineté est une chose importante à attribuer à la nature et au caractère de Dieu. Pourtant, s'il n'était pas souverain, il ne serait pas Dieu.
La Bible dit clairement que Dieu contrôle tout ce qui se passe."

John Piper
This is God’s universal purpose for all Christian suffering: more contentment in God and less satisfaction in the world.

Temptations are an appeal to meet righteous needs in an unrighteous way.

You are a Christian because somebody cared. Now it’s your turn.
