“What happens now? Jacob is just holding on; he’s not wrestling. He is just holding on to this One. He found out that you do not get anywhere with God by struggling and resisting. The only way that you get anywhere with Him is by yielding and just holding on to Him. Abraham had learned that, and that is why he said amen to God. He believed God, and He counted it to him for righteousness. Abraham reached the end of his rope and put his arms around God. My friend, when you get in that condition, then you trust God. When you are willing to hold on, He is there ready to help you.” (Page 176)
“ Yet the unbelief was the major sin here; that is, it was lots blacker than the other.” (Page 19)
“The terrible thing was that they just did not believe God.” (Page 19)
“but I think He is none other than the preincarnate Christ.” (Page 175)
“When any man begins to move toward God on that basis, he will find that God will communicate with him.” (Page 172)
J. Vernon McGee was born in Hillsboro, Texas, in 1904. As a student pastor, Dr. McGee's first church was located on a red clay hill in Midway, Georgia. After completing his education (earning his A.B. from Southwestern University in Memphis, Tennessee; his B.D. from Columbia Theological Seminary in Decatur, Georgia; his Th.M. and Th.D. from Dallas Theological Seminary in Dallas, Texas), and after pastoring Presbyterian churches in Decatur, GA, Nashville, TN, and Cleburne, TX, he and his wife came west, settling in Pasadena, where he accepted a call to the Lincoln Avenue Presbyterian Church. He recalls this period as the happiest in his life, with a young family and a young congregation whom he loved.

Did not get to see anything because I was told that only digital copies were sold. Other than that the chat person named Jeremy didn't seem interested in talking to me at all. I do hate to be such a bother and won't be back for any reason.
