More quotes by William Barclay
In the way of Christ the reward of work well done is more work to do.
William Barclay
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
We reverence God and we hallow God's name when our life is such that it brings honor to God and attracts others to Him.
William Barclay
The danger of prosperity is that it encourages a false independence.
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
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
A man can be so busy making a living that he forgets to make a life.
William Barclay
Strict orthodoxy can cost too much if it has to be bought at the price of love. All the orthodoxy in the world will never take the place of love.
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
The terrible importance of this life is that it determines eternity.
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
Love always involves responsibility, and love always involves sacrifice. And we do not really love Christ unless we are prepared to face His task and to take up His Cross.
William Barclay
The best way to prepare for the coming of Christ is never to forget the presence of Christ.
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
There is only one way to bring peace to the heart, joy to the mind, and beauty to the life it is to accept and do the will of God.
William Barclay
...for Paul faith is always faith in a person. Faith is not the intellectual acceptance of a body of doctrine faith is faith in a person.
William Barclay
True worship is when the spirit, the immortal and invisible part of man, speaks to and meets with God, who is immortal and invisible.
William Barclay
There are two great days in a person's life - the day we are born and the day we discover why.
William Barclay
God does not choose a person for ease and comfort and selfish joy but for a task that will take all that head and heart and hand can bring to it. God chooses a man in order to use him.
William Barclay
Faith is not only commitment to the promises of Christ it is also commitment to his demands.
William Barclay
