Dave Harvey, When Sinners say, "I Do", Shepherd Press, 2007, p. 138.
There is a glorious sequel to saving, justifying grace. The grace that justifies (declaring us holy in God’s sight) becomes the grace that sanctifies (making us ever more holy in daily life). It is a prevailing, unstoppable grace that doesn’t close up shop the day after the sinner’s prayer. It’s the power of God to help us overcome sin, and a potent weapon in the fierce struggles that accompany life after the honeymoon of conversion. Conversion, like a wedding, is hardly the end of the story – it’s just the beginning.

John Piper, This Momentary Marriage - A Parable of Permanence, Desiring God Foundation, 2008, p. 130.
Sin is what you feel and think and do when you are not taking God at His Word and resting in His promises.

Plus vous approchez une chose de la lumière, plus ses taches sont sombres ; et plus vous vivez près de Dieu, plus vous verrez votre propre bassesse.
Robert Murray McCheyne, Comfort and Sorrow, Christian Focus Publishers, 2002, p. 105.
The nearer you take anything to the light, the darker its spots will appear; and the nearer you live to God, the more you will see your own utter vileness.

John MacArthur et Richard Mayhue, Biblical Doctrine, 2017, page 144.
“In the beginning, God (Gen. 1:1). The Bible does not begin with a rationalistic argument for the existence of God but rather assumes that He exists, that He existed before the beginning of all things outside Himself, and that there is only one God… Proof for God existence must come, first and foremost, from God’s testimony about Himself.
John MacArthur and Richard Mayhue, Biblical Doctrine, 2017, page 144.
1. La Bible a cinq cents versets sur la prière, moins de cinq cents versets sur la foi, mais plus de deux mille versets traitant de l'argent et des possessions.
2. Le livre des Proverbes est à lui seul rempli d'instructions sur l'argent.
3. On a dit que Jésus a parlé de l'argent plus que de tout autre sujet. Sur les trente-huit paraboles de Jésus, seize traitent de la gestion de l'argent.
4. Un verset sur dix dans les évangiles a trait à l'argent ou aux possessions - soit un total de 288 versets.
5. Il y a plus de choses dites dans le Nouveau Testament sur l'argent que sur le paradis et l'enfer réunis.
Si Dieu a jugé important de parler à son peuple de la gestion de l'argent et du don, vous et moi n'avons pas le droit de négliger ces parties de sa parole.
Rod Rogers, Pastor Driven Stewardship : 10 Steps to Lead Your Church to Biblical Giving par Rod Rogers, 2006, p. 5.
We know it isn’t ungodly to teach about money because the Bible is full of instructions on the subject. You’ve read the statistics:
1. The Bible has five hundred verses on prayer, fewer than five hundred verses on faith, but over two thousand verses dealing with money and possessions.
2. The book of Proverbs alone is filled with instructions about money.
3. It has been said that Jesus talked more about money than about any other subject. Of Jesus’ thirty-eight parables, sixteen deal with money management.
4. One out of every ten verses in the gospels has to do with money or possessions – a total of 288 verses.
5. There is more said in the New Testament about money, than about heaven and hell combined.
If God thought it was important to talk to His people about money management and giving, you and I have no right to neglect these parts of His word.

Randy Alcorn, The Treasure Principle, 2002, p. 73.
God comes right out and tells us why He gives us more money than we need. It’s not so we can find more ways to spend it. It’s not so we can indulge ourselves and spoil our children. It’s not so we can insulate ourselves from needing God’s provision. It’s so we can give – generously. When God provides more money, we often think, This is a blessing. Well, yes, but it would be just as scriptural to think, This is a test.

It’s essential, moreover, to get the doctrine of God right before moving on. Either God will be the center of one’s doctrinal solar system or something else will. What we believe about God determines what we believe about everything.

To pray in the Holy Spirit simply means to lean upon His divine help as we pray.

There is a difference between a fleshly stubbornness and a godly perseverance. The former insists on getting one’s will done in heaven, and the latter determines to get God’s will done on earth.
Bill Thrasher, A Journey to Victorious Praying, Moody Publishers, 2003, p. 192-193.
Plus de livres ont été écrits, plus de chansons ont été composées et plus de vies ont été données au nom de Jésus-Christ que pour toute autre personne ayant jamais vécu. Le début de sa vie sur terre a été le début de notre calendrier, et la fin de sa vie sur terre a été l'événement le plus dramatique de l'histoire. Bien que Jésus ait quitté ce monde il y a près de deux mille ans, plus de deux milliards de personnes vivant aujourd'hui s'identifient à lui d'une manière ou d'une autre en se disant chrétiens. Selon toutes les mesures, Jésus est la figure centrale de la race humaine.

WHY JESUS MATTERS, 2003
More books have been written, more songs have been composed, and more lives have been given in the name of Jesus Christ than of any other person who ever lived. The beginning of his life on earth was the beginning of our calendar, and the end of his life on earth was the most dramatic event in history.Even though Jesus left this world nearly two thousand years ago, more than two billion people living today identify with him in one way or another by calling themselves Christians. By all measurements, Jesus is the central figure of the human race.

John Piper, When the Darkness Will Not Lift, 2006, p. 16.
This is the rock where we stand when the dark clouds gather and the floods lick at our feet: justification is by grace alone (not mixed with our merit), through faith alone (not mixed with our works) on the basis of Christ alone (not mingling his righteousness with ours), to the glory of God alone (not ours).
John Piper, When the Darkness Will Not Lift, 2006, p. 16.
Kent Hughes, 2 Corinthians par Kent Hughes, 2006, p. 125.
The gospel is not “reconcile yourselves.” The gospel is “be reconciled.” Receive reconciliation from God.

Steve Swartz, Strength in the River, 2016, Kress Biblical Resources, p.18-19.
How we handle suffering is directly related to our view of God. Most professing Christians think they believe in the sovereign power of God, but in reality they don’t act like they believe that God is completely sovereign. They don’t believe God is in control of every single event in their life.
Steve Swartz, Strength in the River, 2016, Kress Biblical Resources, p.18-19.
Paul David Tripp, Dangerous Calling, 2012, p. 72.
What once bothered us doesn’t bother us anymore. What once activated our conscience doesn’t seem to anymore. What we knew was outside of God’s boundaries, and therefore functionally outside of ours, lives inside our boundaries, and it doesn’t matter to us anymore. It is a scary place to be. The hard heart is a stony heart. It is not malleable anymore. It’s hard and resistant to change, no longer tender and responsive to the squeeze of the hands of the Spirit. There is evil in our hearts and in the acts of our hands, and we’re okay with it. Could there be a more dangerous place for a believer to be?
Paul David Tripp, Dangerous Calling, 2012, p. 72.
John MacArthur, 2 Corinthiens, Moody Publishers, 2003, p. 22-23.
Those who experience the most suffering will receive the most comfort. And those who receive the most comfort are thereby most richly equipped to comfort others (see 2 Cor.1:3-4).
John MacArthur, 2 Corinthians, Moody Publishers, 2003, p. 22-23.
John MacArthur, 1 et 2 Thessaloniciens, Moody, 2002, p. 313.
True spiritual peace is completely different from the superficial, ephemeral, fragile human peace. It is the deep, settled confidence that all is well between the soul and God because of His loving, sovereign control of one’s life both in time and eternity. That calm assurance is based on the knowledge that sins are forgiven, blessing is present, good is abundant even in trouble, and heaven is ahead. The peace that God gives His beloved children as their possession and privilege has nothing to do with the circumstances of life.
John MacArthur, 1 and 2 Thessalonians, Moody, 2002, p. 313.
Kevin DeYoung, The Hole in Our Holiness, 2012, p. 72.
Here’s the problem: when every sin is seen as the same, we are less likely to fight any sins at all. Why should I stop sleeping with my girlfriend when there will still be lust in my heart? Why pursue holiness when even one sin in my life means I’m Osama bin Hitler in God’s eyes? Again, it seems humble to act as if no sin is worse than another, but we lose the impetus for striving and the ability to hold each other accountable when we tumble down the slip-and-slide of moral equivalence. All of a sudden the elder who battles the temptation to take a second look at the racy section of the Land’s End catalog shouldn’t dare exercise church discipline on the young man fornicating with reckless abandon. When we can no longer see the different gradations among sins and sinners and sinful nations, we have not succeeded in respecting our own badness; we’ve cheapened God’s goodness. If our own legal system does not treat all infractions in the same way, surely God knows that some sins are more heinous than others. If we can spot the difference, we’ll be especially eager to put to death those sins which are most offensive to God.
