Religion fails if it cannot speak to men as they are.
William Barclay
Image
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

The best way to prepare for the coming of Christ is never to forget the presence of Christ.
William Barclay

Faith is not only commitment to the promises of Christ it is also commitment to his demands.
William Barclay
Image
Jesus’ coming is the final and unanswerable proof that God cares.

Every discouraging sermon is a wicked sermon... There could hardly be a more un-Christian way of living than to go about in such a way as to depress and to discourage other people.
William Barclay

Jesus was clear that He had come, not to make life easy, but to make men great.
William Barclay

To repent means to realize that the kind of life we are living is wrong and that we must adopt a completely new set of values. To that end, it involves two things. It involves sorrow for what we have been and it involves the resolve that by the grace of God we will be changed.
William Barclay
Image
The danger of prosperity is that it encourages a false independence.
William Barclay

The essential fact of Christianity is that God thought all men worth the sacrifice of his son.
William Barclay
Image
A saint is someone whose life makes it easier to believe in God.
William Barclay
Image
When we love anyone with our whole hearts, life begins when we are with that person it is only in their company that we are really and truly alive.
William Barclay
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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

Prayer is not flight, prayer is power. Prayer does not deliver a man from some terrible situation prayer enables a man to face and to master the situation.
William Barclay
Image
Pride is the ground in which all the other sins grow, and the parent from which all the other sins come.
