1 " The disgrace of the church in the twentieth century is that more zeal is evident among Communists and cultists than among Christians. "
― William MacDonald , True Discipleship
2 " A disciple can be forgiven if he does not have great mental ability. He can be forgiven also if he does not display outstanding physical prowess. But no disciple can be excused if he does not have zeal. If his heart is not aflame with a red-hot passion for the Savior, he stands condemned. "
3 " 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. "
4 " 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. "
5 " This is often the most difficult part of faith—when no more action can be taken and nothing remains but to wait patiently for God to work out His will. It is at this moment that doubts arise and anxiety creeps in (Daily Notes of the Scripture Union). "
― William MacDonald , Believer's Bible Commentary

7 " God never intended the law to be the means of giving life. Rather it was designed to bring the knowledge of sin and to convict of sin. "
8 " The law told people what to do but gave them no power to do it. It was given to reveal sin, not to be a savior. "

15 " El hombre que aprende de memoria grandes porciones de las Escrituras enriquece su propia vida y aumenta su potencial para bendecir a los demás, si "
16 " Paul knew that there was the utmost danger that his hearers might be interested in himself or in his own personality rather than in the living Lord. Conscious of his own inability to bless or to save, he determined that he would lead men to trust in God alone rather than in the wisdom of men. All who proclaim the gospel message or teach the word of God should make this their constant aim. "
17 " 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. "

19 " H. P. Barker warns: It is positive disloyalty to seek our crown before the King gets his. Yet this is what some of the Christians at Corinth were doing. The apostles themselves were bearing the reproach of Christ.
