Stephen Charnock
Providence would seem to sleep unless faith and prayer awaken it. The disciples had but little faith in their Master's accounts, yet that little faith awakened him in a storm, and he relieved them. Unbelief doth only discourage God from showing his power in taking our parts.
Stephen Charnock
Henry Ward Beecher
No physician ever weighed out medicine to his patients with half so much care and exactness as God weighs out to us every trial. Not one grain too much does He ever permit to be put in the scale.
Henry Ward Beecher
Charles H. Spurgeon
If you want the truth to go round the world you must hire an express train to pull it; but if you want a lie to go round the world it will fly; it is as light as a feather, and a breath will carry it. It is well said in the old proverb, “a lie will go round the world while truth is putting its boots on.”
Charles H. Spurgeon
George V. Wigram (1805 - 1879), bibliste et théologien anglais.
It is one thing for the living water to descend from Christ into the heart, and another thing how--when it has descended--it moves the heart to worship. All power of worship in the soul, is the result of the waters flowing into it, and their flowing back again to God.
George V. Wigram (1805 – 1879), an English biblical scholar and theologian.
E.M. Bounds
The prayers of God's saints strengthen the unborn generation against the desolating waves of sin and evil.
E.M. Bounds
James Denney
It is not the main part of [the evangelist] to tell men to make their peace with God, but to tell them that God has made peace with the world. At bottom, the Gospel is not good advice, but good news. All the good advice it gives is summed up in this – Receive the good news!
James Denney
John Bunyan
At the day of Doom men shall be judged according to their fruits. It will not be said then, Did you believe? But, Were you doers, or talkers only?
John Bunyan
John Newton
Many have puzzled themselves about the origin of evil. I am content to observe that there is evil, and that there is a way to escape from it, and with this I begin and end.
John Newton
C.S. Lewis
Once a man is united to God, how could he not live forever?

Rick Warren
God's mercy to us is the motivation for showing mercy to others. Remember, you will never be asked to forgive someone else more than God has forgiven you.
Rick Warren
John Piper
Strong affections for God, rooted in and shaped by the truth of Scripture - this is the bone and marrow of biblical worship.
John Piper

John Hannah, To God be the Glory, Crossway, 2000, p. 45.
We should be concerned for the environment because it is a way to show our care and concern for people. It is important to seek to make this the best of possible worlds so that God’s beauty can be seen by unbelievers and believers alike. The beauty of nature points to the beauty of God. The beauty of God, wherever observed, is the means whereby God is glorified (Psm. 19:1).
John Hannah, To God be the Glory, Crossway, 2000, p. 45.

And now the kingdom of heaven arises before us in its altogether new dignity, so that he in it who is least is greater than the greatest who are without and at its threshold.

Henry Ward Beecher
Whatever is only almost true is quite false, and among the most dangerous of errors, because being so near truth, it is the more likely to lead astray.
Henry Ward Beecher
George V. Wigram (1805 - 1879), bibliste et théologien anglais.
What wealth have you, if you have not got Christ? If Christ is the object before you, will all the things that fret you take Christ from you? All the things you long for, will they give you more of Christ?
George V. Wigram (1805 – 1879), an English biblical scholar and theologian.
J.C. Ryle, Matthieu, p. 225.
All portions of Scripture…ought to be approached with deep humility and earnest prayer for the teaching of the Spirit. On no point have good people so entirely disagreed as on the interpretation of prophecy; on no point have the prejudices of one group, the dogmatism of a second and the extravagance of a third done so much to rob the church of truths which God intended to be a blessing.
J.C. Ryle, Matthew, p. 225.
Il existe un rôle approprié pour ce que les théologiens appellent la culpabilité subjective (ce que je ressens). Ce sentiment de remords pour le mal est le résultat de la révélation par le Saint-Esprit de notre péché à notre conscience (ce que nous appelons "conviction"). Cependant, au milieu de nos sentiments de remords, nous devons nous rappeler que notre culpabilité objective (le jugement que Dieu impose pour notre péché) a été entièrement satisfaite par le Christ (Eph. 2:14-16 ; Col. 1:19-20).
Bryan Chapell, Holiness by Grace, 2001, page 189.
There is a proper role for what theologians call subjective guilt (how I feel). This feeling of remorse for wrong is a result of the Holy Spirit revealing our sin to our consciences (this we call “conviction”). However, amid our feelings of remorse we must remember that our objective guilt (the judgment that God imposes for our sin) has been entirely satisfied by Christ (Eph. 2:14-16; Col. 1:19-20).
Bryan Chapell, Holiness by Grace, 2001, page 189.
La foi ne saisit pas une doctrine, mais un cœur. La confiance que le Christ exige est le lien qui unit les âmes à Lui ; et la vie même de cette confiance est un engagement total de moi-même envers Lui dans toutes mes relations et pour tous mes besoins, et une confiance absolue en Lui comme étant tout à fait suffisant pour tout ce que je peux demander.
Alexander MacLaren
Faith does not grasp a doctrine, but a heart. The trust which Christ requires is the bond that unites souls with Him; and the very life of it is entire committal of myself to Him in all my relations and for all my needs, and absolute utter confidence in Him as all sufficient for everything that I can require.
Alexander MacLaren
Richard Cecil
The union of Christians to Christ, their common head, and by means of the influence they derive from him, one to another, may be illustrated by the loadstone. It not only attracts the particles of iron to itself by the magnetic virtue, but by this virtue it unites them one to another.
Richard Cecil
C.H. Mackintosh
It is a serious reflection for the evangelist that wherever God’s Spirit is at work, there Satan is sure to be busy. We must remember and ever be prepared for this. The enemy of Christ and the enemy of souls is always on the watch, always hovering about to see what he can do, either to hinder or corrupt the work of the gospel. This need not terrify or even discourage the workman; but it is well to bear it in mind and be watchful. Satan will leave no stone unturned to mar or hinder the blessed work of God’s Spirit. He has proved himself the ceaseless, vigilant enemy of that work, from the days of Eden down to the present moment.
C.H. Mackintosh
Samuel Rutherford
Keep God's covenant in your trials; hold you by His blessed word, and sin not; flee anger, wrath, grudging, envying, fretting; forgive a hundred pence to your fellow-servant, because your Lord hath forgiven you ten thousand talents: for, I assure you by the Lord, your adversaries shall get no advantage against you, except you sin, and offend your Lord, in your sufferings.
Samuel Rutherford
Augustin
God is always trying to give good things to us, but our hands are too full to receive them.
Augustine
Dave Hunt
Our love for God and our appreciation of His love and forgiveness will be in proportion to the recognition of our sin and unworthiness.
Dave Hunt
Augustin
Trials come to prove and improve us.

John Stott
The Gospel is good news of mercy to the undeserving. The symbol of the religion of Jesus is the cross, not the scales.
John Stott
Le mal est facile, et a des formes infinies.
Blaise Pascal
Evil is easy, and has infinite forms.
Blaise Pascal
« C'est de la Croix que Jésus régnera sur le monde... Il n'a qu'à monter sur le bois infâme pour voir les peuples à ses pieds. Le monde, s'étonne, le monde écoute, le monde pleure, le monde croit. Les religions de la terre font place à la religion du ciel ; les dieux s'en vont ; et Dieu, le Dieu fort et jaloux, le Dieu saint traite alliance avec ses bien-aimés. »
Alexandre Vinet

Dwight L. Moody
Look at Him at Gethsemane, sweating as it were great drops of blood; look at Him on the cross, crucified between two thieves; hear that piercing cry, "Father, Father, forgive them, they know not what they do." And as you look into that face, as you look into those wounds on His feet or His hands, will you say He has not the power to save you? Will you say He has not the power so redeem you?
Dwight L. Moody
