The twentieth century was the century of the self. Almost all virtues, especially love, were reinterpreted to put the self at the center. This means that almost all people are saturated and shaped with the conviction that the essence of being loved as a human is being treasured or esteemed. That is, you love me to the degree that your act of treasuring terminates on me… If they ask, “Do you treasure me or do you treasure Christ?” I answer, “I treasure Christ, and, desiring to treasure Him more, I treasure your treasuring Christ.” Without the miraculous work of the Holy Spirit removing human self from the center, this will not satisfy American people. They are so saturated with self-oriented love that they can scarcely conceive what true Christian love is. True Christian love is not my making much of them, but my helping them to enjoy making much of God. This is love. If my treasuring terminates on them I play right into the hands of the devil and their own self-centered destruction. But if my treasuring terminates on God and their treasuring God, then I direct them to the one source of all joy. And that act of directing them to God, their hope and life and joy, is what love is.

Que pensons-nous que la prédication soit autre chose que l'acte central de la louange chrétienne ? En fait, tout le reste devrait être construit autour de la prédication de la Parole, car c'est à ce moment-là que le Dieu dont nous avons parlé et chanté nous parle à partir de sa Parole éternelle et parfaite.
Albert Mohler, Feed My Sheep, ed. Don Kistler, Soli Deo Gloria Ministries, 2002, p. 17.
What do we think preaching is but the central act of Christian worship? As a matter of fact, everything else ought to build to the preaching of the Word, for that is when the God of whom we have been speaking and singing speaks to us from His eternal and perfect Word.

Si l'honneur du Christ est notre passion, la poursuite du plaisir en Lui est notre devoir.

If Christ’s honor is our passion, the pursuit of pleasure in Him is our duty.

Sans la Bible, nous n'aurions jamais connu le mouvement abolitionniste, le mouvement de réforme des prisons, le mouvement anti-guerre, le mouvement ouvrier, le mouvement des droits civiques, le mouvement des peuples indigènes et dépossédés pour leurs droits humains, le mouvement anti-apartheid en Afrique du Sud, le mouvement Solidarité en Pologne, les mouvements pour la liberté d'expression et la démocratie dans des pays d'Extrême-Orient comme la Corée du Sud, les Philippines et même la Chine. Ces mouvements des temps modernes ont tous utilisé le langage de la Bible.

Without the Bible we would never have known the abolitionist movement, the prison-reform movement, the anti-war movement, the labor movement, the civil rights movement, the movement of indigenous and dispossessed peoples for their human rights, the anti-apartheid movement in South Africa, the Solidarity movement in Poland, the free-speech and pro-democracy movements in such Far Eastern countries as South Korea, the Philippines, and even China. These movements of modern times have all employed the language of the Bible.

A.W. Tozer, The Root of the Righteous. Christianity Today, v. 34, n. 3.
The widest thing in the universe is not space; it is the potential capacity of the human heart. Being made in the image of God, it is capable of almost unlimited extension in all directions. And one of the world’s greatest tragedies is that we allow our hearts to shrink until there is room in them for little besides ourselves.
A.W. Tozer, The Root of the Righteous. Christianity Today, v. 34, n. 3.
Il était alors erroné, et il l'est toujours, de rechercher égoïstement un don spirituel, alors qu'il nous a été dit que les dons spirituels sont choisis et distribués souverainement par le Saint-Esprit. Il est particulièrement mauvais de convoiter un don que nous n'avons pas pour des motifs égoïstes ou orgueilleux.
John MacArthur, Strange Fire, 2013, p. 147.
It was wrong then, and still is, to selfishly seek any spiritual gift when we’ve been told that spiritual gifts are sovereignly chosen and distributed by the Holy Spirit. It is especially wrong to crave a gift we don’t have out of self-serving or prideful motives.
John MacArthur, Strange Fire, 2013, p. 147.

We need to call sin what the Bible calls it and not soften it with modern expressions borrowed from our culture.

Question 45 : Quel bénéfice nous revient-il de la résurrection du Christ ?
Premièrement, puisqu’il a vaincu la mort par sa résurrection (1 Cor. 15:4), nous pouvons participer à la justice qu’il nous a acquise par sa mort
(Rom. 4:25; 1 Cor. 15:16-20; 1 Pie. 1:3-5).
Deuxièmement, nous sommes nous aussi, dès à présent, ressuscités par sa puissance pour une vie nouvelle
(Rom. 6:4-11; Éph. 2:4-6; Col. 3:1-5).
Troisièmement, en la résurrection du Christ, nous avons un gage certain de notre glorieuse résurrection future
(Rom. 8:11; 1 Cor. 15:12-23; Phil. 3:20-21; 1 Pie. 1:21).

Doing what Jesus did in all situations will make you a better person here on earth. Accepting what Jesus did on the cross will secure your eternal future. Why not do both? The decision is yours.
