Inspirational Quotes by William MacDonald Devotions
“They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.”
“God pours out his choicest blessings on those who are anxious that nothing shall stick to their hands. Individuals who value the rainy day above the present agony of the world will get no blessing from God.”
“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. The believer must put himself in a position where he is compelled to trust God...It is only as he gets rid of his reserves and other false supports that he can truly launch out into the deep.”

All who proclaim the gospel message or teach the word of God should make this their constant aim.”
“Faithful are the wounds of a friend.” We should not resent it if we are counseled or warned in a godly manner. Rather, we should realize that any person who would do this really has an interest in us. Righteous rebuke should be taken as from the Lord, and we should be grateful for it.”
