You can't teach a person to love something. But you can get him to feel the heat of your love for something.
James MacDonaldWhen we get bumped - we spill what we are full of - Be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
James MacDonaldIn a society where rationality has ruled so long, the church frequently fails to see that in forsaking the weekly pursuit of the transcendent, we have given up the only ground that was uniquely ours in this world. In attempting to make the church something that can attract and add value to secular mind-sets, we have turned our backs on our one true proposition - transcendence.
James MacDonaldDon't lean on your own understanding. If your trust in God is limited by your understanding of His ways, you will always have a limited trust.
James MacDonaldWhen we pray, we are speaking to the One Whose eternal purpose and designs are unfolding as our present realities. In order to find hope in them, we must seek HIM and HIS perspective. This requires a keen understanding of the redemptive nature of our existence, which points to the glorious gospel of Christ.
