Il vaut mieux pour moi mourir au nom de Jésus-Christ, que de régner sur toutes les extrémités de la terre.

That the sinless Son of God must die upon the Cross to redeem us shouldn't make us feel good about ourselves but ashamed, for it was our sins that nailed Him there.

Billy Graham
It is not easy to shut out the world, set aside a few minutes by yourself, and spend time in God’s Word and prayer. But it is essential if we are to grow in our relationship with God and be strengthened for the battles ahead. Don’t delay. Begin now to spend time alone with God every day.
Billy Graham
George V. Wigram (1805 - 1879), bibliste et théologien anglais.
The doctrine of the gospel as in the person of Christ is a lost thing in the present day, because it is always presented on the side that meets man, and not God's side.
George V. Wigram (1805 – 1879), an English biblical scholar and theologian.
C'est pourquoi si vous passez votre temps à essayer de changer le comportement des gens, vous perdrez votre temps. Vous ne changerez jamais définitivement le comportement de quelqu'un d'autre, car il reviendra à faire ce qu'il veut faire.
Ce qui doit être changé, c'est notre "désir".
Dieu ne travaille jamais à changer notre comportement. Il travaille à changer nos désirs. Une fois nos désirs changés, nous ferons ce que Dieu veut que nous fassions.
Les désirs de Dieu ne sont jamais ceux de l'homme, car les voies de Dieu ne sont pas celles de l'homme.
Nos désirs égoïstes sont toujours à l'opposé des désirs de Dieu jusqu'à ce que le Christ règne dans notre cœur. Lorsque le Christ règne dans notre cœur et que le Saint-Esprit consume tous nos désirs, nous ne voudrons jamais rien faire d'autre que ce que Dieu veut que nous fassions.

One of the most profound truths I have ever heard is this: “People do what they do because they want to do it.”
That is why if you spend your time trying to change people’s behavior you will be wasting your time. You will never permanently change anybody else’s behavior because they will revert to doing what they want to do.
What has to be changed is our “wanter.”
God never works on changing our behavior. God works on changing our desires. Once our desires are changed, we will do what God wants us to do.
God’s desires are never man’s desires because God’s ways are not man’s ways.
Our selfish desires are always at cross purposes with God’s desires until Christ reigns in our heart. When Christ reigns in our heart and the Holy Spirit consumes all of our desires, we will never want to do anything except what God wants us to do.

Priscilla Shirer
The issue of fear is so well-known and important to God that more than three hundred times in Scripture He tells His people—in one form or another—not to be afraid. "Fear not." "Be ye not afraid." "Do not fear." Look it up. It’s everywhere. You know those times when you’re searching high and low for just one verse to tell you what God wants you to do? Well, here’s three hundred of them. And they’re all saying the same thing: "Don’t be afraid."

Ole Kristian O. Hallesby
As white snowflakes fall quietly and thickly on a winter day, answers to prayer will settle down upon you at every step you take, even to your dying day. The story of your life will be the story of prayer and answers to prayer.
Ole Kristian O. Hallesby
Dieu, cependant, ne révèle sa volonté qu'à ceux qui s'engagent à la suivre, quel qu'en soit le prix.
Jamie Buckingham
Some people want to know God’s will for their lives so they can weigh in advance whether to do it.
God, however, reveals His will only to those who are committed to follow, whatever the cost.

Smith Wigglesworth
God's word is- 1. Supernatural in origin; 2. Eternal in duration; 3. Inexpressible in valour; 4. Infinite in scope; 5. Regenerative in power; 6. Infallible in authority; 7. Universal in application; 8. Inspired in totality. Read it through, write it down; pray it in; work it out; pass it on. The word of God changes a man until he becomes an Epistle of God.
Smith Wigglesworth
James H. Aughey
As every mercy is a drop obtained from the ocean of God's goodness, so every affliction is a drachm weighed out in the wisdom of God's providence.
James H. Aughey
Watchman Nee
In so obeying Christ as to disregard his natural affection, a believer's natural love suffers intensely. Such sorrow and pain becomes a practical cross to him. Deep are the heart wounds and many are the tears when one has to forfeit the one he loves.
Watchman Nee
Charles Spurgeon
Providence is wonderfully intricate. Ah! You want always to see through Providence, do you not? You never will, I assure you. You have not eyes good enough. You want to see what good that affliction was to you; you must believe it. You want to see how it can bring good to the soul; you may be enabled in a little time; but you cannot see it now; you must believe it. Honor God by trusting Him.
Charles Spurgeon
John MacArthur
Sinners still live with the illusion that they can make a judgment on Jesus Christ and avoid Him making a judgment on them… You judge Jesus wrongly, and He will judge you rightly… The question is not what will you do with Jesus, the question is when you see Him face-to-face, what will He do with you.
John MacArthur
Iain Duguid, Living in the Gap Between Promise and Reality, 1999, p. 102.
The Lord waits so long in His graciousness that people think He cannot judge, but when He does come in judgment, it is so decisive that it seems as if He cannot show mercy. For this is not the sudden anger of an irritable temper, easily inflamed but equally easily pacified. This is deliberate, measure wrath, following a full investigation of the facts. There can be no last-minute appeals or reprieves, for there is no higher court to whom appeal can be made, and no pertinent facts have been overlooked in reaching the verdict. So it was with Sodom and Gomorrah, and so it shall be at the end of history [see Luke 17:28-30].
Iain Duguid, Living in the Gap Between Promise and Reality, 1999, p. 102.

Christ wrought out His perfect obedience as a man, through temptation, and by suffering.

Philip Yancey
A God wise enough to create me and the world I live in is wise enough to watch out for me.
Philip Yancey
C.S. Lewis
As long as this deliberate refusal to understand things from above, even where such understanding is possible, continues, it is idle to talk of any final victory over materialism.
C.S. Lewis
David Wilkerson
Many of those who once were so passionately in love with Christ now run about pursuing their own interests. They're burdened down with stress and problems, chasing after riches and the things of this world.
David Wilkerson
C.S. Lewis
Evil is a parasite, not an original thing.
C.S. Lewis
John Newton
It belongs to your calling of God as a minister, that you should have a taste of the various spiritual trials which are incident to the Lord's people, that thereby you may know how to speak a word in season to them that are weary; and it is likewise needful to keep you perpetually attentive to that important admonition, "Without Me ye can do nothing."
John Newton
Anselm Grün
Blaise Pascal
One must know oneself. If this does not serve to discover truth, it at least serves as a rule of life and there is nothing better.
Blaise Pascal
George Vicesimus Wigram (1805 - 1879), bibliste et théologien anglais.
The people of God may have to taste a little of the waters of death's dark river, but Christ went to the very bottom of it, and rose again, and is alive for evermore.
George Vicesimus Wigram (1805 – 1879), an English biblical scholar and theologian.

Pride wants to earn divine acceptance; humility simply believes it.

Faith is two empty hands held open to receive all of the Lord.

Billy Graham
You're born. You suffer. You die. Fortunately, there's a loophole.
Billy Graham
David Dickson
There is more stuff and substance of good in the Lord's promises than the sharpest sighted saint did or can perceive; for when we have followed the promise, to find out all the truth which is in it, we meet with a cloud of unsearchable riches, and are forced to leave it there.
David Dickson
Donald S. Whitney, Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life, 1991, p. 112.
Some fear witnessing because they don’t feel confident enough in their persuasive powers or their ability to answer all imaginable objections to the gospel. But the power for evangelism is not in our ability; it is in His gospel. You may have never imagined that an unbeliever could actually be born again by hearing of Christ from your lips. But that’s not humility. It’s doubt, a denial of God’s blessing upon His gospel just because it is spoken by you. Don’t doubt the power of God to add His blessing upon your words when you speak of Christ.
Donald S. Whitney, Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life, 1991, p. 112.
Jonathan Leeman, Reverberation, Moody Publishers, 2011, p. 85-86.
Are deeds “necessary” for raising the dead and freeing the enslaved? From the standpoint of the Spirit’s work, no. From the standpoint of Christianity’s public credibility, generally yes. The Spirit’s work will produce evidence in our deeds. And every good deed becomes one more witness who testifies on behalf of the gospel’s truth and power.
Jonathan Leeman, Reverberation, Moody Publishers, 2011, p. 85-86.

Man was so engineered by God that the presence of the Creator within the creature is indispensable to His humanity.

Gresham Machen, What Is Christianity, cité dans Biblical Separation, par Ernest Pickering, p. 97.
Again, men tell us that our preaching should be positive and not negative, that we can preach the truth without attacking error. But if we follow that advice we shall have to close our Bible and desert its teachings. The New Testament is a polemic book almost from beginning to end… It is when men have felt compelled to take a stand against error that they have risen to the really great heights in the celebration of the truth.
Gresham Machen, What Is Christianity, cited in Biblical Separation, by Ernest Pickering, p. 97.
Alan Redpath
God's mercy with a sinner is only equaled and perhaps outmatched by His patience with the saints, with you and me.
