More quotes by William Barclay
More people have been brought into the church by the kindness of real Christian love than by all the theological arguments in the world.
William Barclay
Jesus’ coming is the final and unanswerable proof that God cares.
William Barclay
The danger of prosperity is that it encourages a false independence.
William Barclay
It may well be a sign of the decadence of the Church and the failure of Christianity that gifts have to be coaxed out of people, and that often they will not give at all unless they get something for their money in the way of entertainment or of goods. Giving which is real giving has a certain recklessness in it.
William Barclay
If we are to accept the teaching of Jesus at all, then the only test of the reality of a man's religion is his attitude to his fellow men. The only possible proof that a man loves God is the demonstrated fact that he loves his fellow men.
William Barclay
The simple fact is that the World is too busy to give the Holy Spirit a chance to enter in.
William Barclay
The word grace emphasizes at one and the same time the helpless poverty of man and the limitless kindness of God.
William Barclay
The essential fact of Christianity is that God thought all men worth the sacrifice of his son.
William Barclay
God himself took this human flesh upon him.
William Barclay
We are chosen for joy. However hard the Christian way, it is both in the traveling and in the goal, the way of joy.
William Barclay
We have a duty to encourage one another. Many a time a word of praise or thanks or appreciation or cheer has kept a man on his feet. Blessed is the man who speaks such a word.
William Barclay
I thank you for my friends, for those who understand me better than I understand myself. For those who know me at my worst, and still like me. For those who have forgiven me when I had no right to expect to be forgiven. Help me to be as true to my friends as I would wish them to be to me.
William Barclay
Jesus is the yes to every promise of God.
William Barclay
In the time we have it is surely our duty to do all the good we can to all the people we can in all the ways we can.
William Barclay
When we believe that God is Father, we also believe that such a father's hand will never cause his child a needless tear. We may not understand life any better, but we will not resent life any longer.
William Barclay
There is no joy in the world like the joy of bringing one soul to Christ.
William Barclay
Pride is the ground in which all the other sins grow, and the parent from which all the other sins come.
William Barclay
Faith is not only commitment to the promises of Christ it is also commitment to his demands.
William Barclay
In the way of Christ the reward of work well done is more work to do.
William Barclay
It may well be that the world is denied miracle after miracle and triumph after triumph because we will not bring to Christ what we have and what we are. If, just as we are, we would lay ourselves on the altar of service of Jesus Christ, there is no saying what Christ could do with us and through us.
William Barclay
