This series, God In Pursuit: A Study In Jonah, among others, first ministered to me greatly while I was in a level 4 prison cell almost 20 years ago, during which time I used to listen to them with an AM/FM cassette player. I come back to these messages from time to time for spiritual nourishment and strengthening of faith; encouragement as well as correction; and even rebuke, or whatever else the Lord may have for me. They're just as much anointed now as they were then. And it is the Anointing that teaches us, even the Anointing working in and through men, and sometimes in spite of them.

Some may feel some kind a way about this man, James MacDonald. I, myself, am not in a place where I've heard the whole of the matter. However, where forgiveness may be required, then forgive; where restoration may be needed, then offer up prayer and supplication (and God IS a God of restoration); If rebuke is in order, then speak the truth in love. And if there are those that have spoken too soon, or have slandered, or have taken up a reproach against their neighbor, or have otherwise stretched forth their hand against one of God's anointed, then humble yourself; confess and forsake these things.
