When God wants something done, He also gives the strength for it. God's will will never demand of us something for which He does not give the power.

William MacDonald

William MacDonald (1917–2007) war ein US-amerikanischer Bibellehrer und Autor aus den Reihen der Brüderbewegung, der unter anderem die Emmaus Bible School leitete. Bekannt wurde er vor allem durch seinen einbändigen Bibelkommentar sowie Schriften, die eine verbindliche Christusnachfolge und einen einfachen Lebensstil betonen. Heutigen Bibellesern vermittelt er eine verständliche, dispensationalistisch geprägte Schriftauslegung, deren hohe Maßstäbe an persönliche Hingabe mitunter als schwer lebbar diskutiert werden.
