― William MacDonald, True Discipleship

“The life of faith does not follow automatically when a person becomes a Christian. It requires deliberate action on his part. This is especially true in affluent society.

― William MacDonald, True Discipleship

“Мъдрите деца се подчиняват на възпитанието на родителите си; безумните се бунтуват. Мъдрите младежи се покоряват на библейските предписания за морална чистота; безумните следват собствените си страсти. Мъдрите възрастни преценяват всичко според това, дали е угодно на Господа; безумните правят онова, което е угодно на самите тях.”

All who proclaim the gospel message or teach the word of God should make this their constant aim.”
