Les pactes
Michael Lawrence, Théologie biblique, 2010, Crossway Books, page 31.
Covenants are not merely contracts or promises. Rather, covenants are relationships under authority, with both obligations and rewards. The terms and benefits of the relationship are spelled out, and so are the consequences if the relationship is broken. But what is perhaps most significant about biblical covenants is that when God enters into a covenant, He must condescend to initiate it, He sets the terms, He provides the benefits, and He executes the judgment when the covenant is broken.

Puis-je prier le Notre Père ?
Si je vis dans un compartiment spirituel étanche, ignorant les chrétiens d'autres églises....
Si je prouve pas la réalité de ma filiation avec lui par ma vie quotidienne.
- Je ne peux pas dire: Qui est aux cieux.
Si je pense et vis comme si ce monde était le seul à exister.
- Je ne peux pas dire: Que ton nom soit sanctifié.
Si appelé par Dieu, je ne suis moi-même pas sanctifié...
- Je ne peux pas dire: Que ton règne vienne.
Si je ne fais pas tout ce qui est en mon pouvoir pour préparer sa venue.
- Je ne peux pas dire: Sur la terre comme au ciel.
Si je ne me consacre pas à l'heure même, tout entier à son service.
- Je ne peux pas dire: Donne moi aujourd'hui mon pain quotidien.
Si je vis uniquement du pain d'hier ou de mes expériences passées.
- Je ne peux pas dire: Pardonne-moi mes offenses comme je pardonne à ceux qui m'ont offensés.
Si même un seul de mes prochains est l'objet de ma rancune.
- Je ne peux pas dire: Ne m'induis pas en tentation.
Si je me place volontairement dans une position où je suis exposé à la tentation et que j'y reste volontairement.
- Je ne peux pas dire: Délivre-moi du mal.
Si je ne veux pas reconnaître, ce qui est mal en moi à la lumière de la parole divine, la Bible.
- Je ne peux pas dire: Car c'est à toi qu'appartient le règne.
Si je n'accorde pas au Roi des rois la place qui lui revient dans mon cœur et dans ma vie.
- Je ne peux pas dire: Et la puissance.
Si je crains la violence des hommes et leurs persécutions plus que Dieu et son jugement.
- Je ne peux pas dire: Et la gloire.
Si je ne cherche que ma propre gloire et l'approbation de l'opinion publique.
- Je ne peux pas dire: Dans tous les siècles.
Si mon horizon est limité qu'au siècle présent sur cette terre.
- Je ne peux pas dire: Amen.
Sans ajouter "Quel qu'en soit le prix".
Car cette prière dite honnêtement et du fond du cœur me coûtera tout.
Car l'humilité précède la gloire nous dit la Bible.

Nos péchés
John Gerstner, The Problem of Pleasure, Soli Deo Gloria, 2002, p. 14.
There is no comparison at all between God and any of His creatures. In fact, all our sins against our fellowman are ultimately sins only because God has forbidden these deeds. “Against Thee and Thee only have I sinned,” cried David, after committing adultery and murder.

Les sentiments de tristesse
Dave Harvey, When Sinners say, "I Do", Shepherd Press, 2007, p. 129.
Feelings of sorrow alone aren’t necessarily conviction. We can be sorrowful for many reasons, including selfish ones. We can be sorry for the bad consequences of our sin, sorry we were caught, sorry we lost someone’s respect. The kind of worldly grief can’t begin to address the true offense of sin, and it can’t begin to change us [see 2 Corinthians 7:8-9]. Only godly grief brings repentance. And only repentance testifies to the surgical effect of God’s truth applied to our sinful hearts.

Sa liberté d'agir
Bill Thrasher, A Journey to Victorious Praying, Moody Publishers, 2003, p. 59.
Sometimes when we pour out our desires to God, He appears to be indifferent. When the apostle Paul earnestly petitioned God for the removal of his thorn in the flesh, the request was not granted. However, in not giving this desire of Paul’s heart, God gave him his deeper desire. Certainly Paul’s greatest desire was to know God’s grace and power in order to be the most useful servant he could possibly be. God withheld the request in order to give Paul his deepest desire and thus glorify Himself (2 Corinthians 12:7-10).

Le montant de votre don
Rod Rogers, Pastor Driven Stewardship : 10 Steps to Lead Your Church to Biblical Giving par Rod Rogers, 2006, p. 56.
The amount of your giving may not be large in comparison to someone else’s gift, but if your heart is generous, and your gift is sacrificial, God is pleased.

Une religion d'auto-assistance ?
Elyse Fitzpatrick, Counsel from the Cross, Crossway, 2009, p. 30.
Most of us have never really understood that Christianity is not a self-help religion meant to enable moral people to become more moral. We don’t need a self-help book; we need a Savior. We don’t need to get our collective act together; we need death and resurrection and the life-transforming truths of the gospel. And we don’t need them just once, at the beginning of our Christian life; we need them every moment of every day.

La volonté du Père céleste
Le christianisme n'est pas une série de vérités au pluriel, mais plutôt une vérité qui s'écrit avec un "T" majuscule, une vérité sur la réalité totale, et pas seulement sur les choses religieuses. Le christianisme biblique est la Vérité concernant la réalité totale - et la détention intellectuelle de cette Vérité totale, puis la vie à la lumière de cette Vérité. Nancy Pearcey
Source : Total Truth : Liberating Christianity form Its Cultural Captivity, Crossway, 2005, p. 15.
Christianity is not a series of truths in the plural, but rather truth spelled with a capital ‘T.’ Truth about total reality, not just about religious things. Biblical Christianity is Truth concerning total reality – and the intellectual holding of that total Truth and then living in the light of that Truth. Nancy Pearcey

Un Sauveur adapté aux besoins du cœur de l'homme
J.C. Ryle, Holiness, Moody Publishers, 2010, p. 202.
It is impossible to conceive a Savior more suited to the wants of man’s heart than our Lord Jesus Christ – suited not only by His power, but by His sympathy – suited not only by His divinity, but by His humanity. Labor, I beseech you, to get firmly impressed on your mind that Christ, the refuge of souls, is Man as well as God. Honor Him as King of kings, and Lord of lords. But while you do this, never forget that He had a body and was a Man. Grasp this truth and never let it go. The unhappy Socinian errs fearfully when he says that Christ was only Man, and not God. But let not the rebound from that error make you forget that while Christ was very God, He was also very Man.

Grandir dans notre relation avec Dieu
Karl Graustein, Growing Up Christian, , 2005, p. 40.
Before growing in our relationship with God, we must have a relationship with Him. It is meaningless to even address other needs before addressing our personal relationship with God. Without God and His enabling power, we cannot effectively change any part of our lives.

La faute à qui ?
J.C. Ryle, Holiness, Moody Publishers, 2010, p. 171.
Whose fault is it, I should like to know, if a believer does not grow in grace? The fault, I am sure, cannot be laid on God. He delights to “give more grace” (Jas 4:6) The fault, no doubt, is our own. We ourselves are to blame, and none else, if we do not grow.

La prédication
Paul David Tripp, Dangerous Calling, 2012, p. 145.
Preaching is more than the regurgitation of your favorite exegetical commentary, or a rather transparent recast of the sermons of your favorite preachers, or a reshaping of notes from one of your favorite seminary classes. It is bringing the transforming truths of the gospel of Jesus Christ from a passage that has been properly understood, cogently and practically applied, and delivered with the engaging tenderness and passion of a person who has been broken and restored by the very truths he stands up to communicate. You simply cannot do that without proper preparation, meditation, confession, and worship.
Paul David Tripp, Dangerous Calling, 2012, p. 145.

Une option ?
Iain Duguid, Living in the Grip of Relentless Grace, 2002, p. 44.
Sin is not an option for the believer. How can you continue in sin when that sin was paid for in the torn flesh of Jesus? How can you look longingly upon Satan’s offerings when the cross of Christ is in front of your eyes? Christ’s love constrains our hearts to seek holiness. The fact that sin has no lasting benefits remains true, but it is not simply because sin doesn’t pay that you are to turn your back on the tempter. The fact that sin will not get you what you really want in life is not nearly a powerful enough defense to guard you against the attractiveness of Satan’s lies and the fickleness of your heart. Only a deep grasp of the gospel has the power to bring about deep change in your heart. It is knowing the terrible price that has already been paid for your sin that enables you to say no to sin.
Iain Duguid, Living in the Grip of Relentless Grace, 2002, p. 44.

Lorsque nous violons notre sens du bien et du mal
Kevin DeYoung, The Hole in Our Holiness, 2012, p. 42-43.
When we violate our sense of right and wrong, even if the action in itself is not sinful, we are guilty of sin. “Whatever does not proceed from faith is sin” (Rom. 14:23). That means, if you don’t believe what you are doing is acceptable, then it’s not acceptable for you to do it. You must not ignore your conscience… Even if the Bible gives the green light, the red light in your conscience should not be transgressed.

Prêcher Jésus-Christ
Sinclair Ferguson, Feed My Sheep, ed. Don Kistler, Soli Deo Gloria Ministries, 2002, p. 216-217.
The evidence that I preach Jesus Christ as Lord is found not so much in my declarations as it is in the manifestation of that Lordship in my life and preaching – when I, who am His bondslave, am willing to be and actually become in my preaching, the bondslave of others for Jesus’ sake (2 Corinthians 4:5).
Sinclair Ferguson, Feed My Sheep, ed. Don Kistler, Soli Deo Gloria Ministries, 2002, p. 216-217.
