More quotes by William Barclay
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
Christianity does not think of man finally submitting to the power of God, it thinks of Him as finally surrendering to the love of God. It is not that man's will is crushed, but that man's heart is broken.
William Barclay
The danger of prosperity is that it encourages a false independence.
William Barclay
The best way to prepare for the coming of Christ is never to forget the presence of Christ.
William Barclay
The Christian man must aim at that complete obedience to God in which life finds its highest happiness, its greatest good, its perfect consummation, its peace.
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
A man may well be condemned, not for doing something, but for doing nothing.
William Barclay
God tested Abraham. Temptation is not meant to make us fail it is meant to confront us with a situation out of which we emerge stronger than we were. Temptation is not the penalty of manhood it is the glory of manhood.
William Barclay
Religion fails if it cannot speak to men as they are.
William Barclay
Jesus was clear that He had come, not to make life easy, but to make men great.
William Barclay
Prayer will never do our work for us what it will do is to strengthen us for work which must be done.
William Barclay
We may not understand how the spirit works but the effect of the spirit on the lives of men is there for all to see and the only unanswerable argument for Christianity is a Christian life. No man can disregard a religion and a faith and a power which is able to make bad men good. . .
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
It may be that one of our great faults in prayer is that we talk too much and listen too little. When prayer is at its highest we wait in silence for God's voice to us we linger in His presence for His peace and His power to flow over us and around us we lean back in His everlasting arms and feel the serenity of perfect security in Him.
William Barclay
We will often find compensation if we think more of what life has given us and less about what life has taken away.
William Barclay
But the best definition of it is to say that heaven is that state where we will always be with Jesus, and where nothing will separate us from Him any more
William Barclay
The only victory love can enjoy is the day when its offer of love is answered by the return of love. The only possible final triumph is a universe loved by God and in love with God.
William Barclay
Instead of our petulant, fretful, irritable human hastiness we should cultivate in our souls the patience which has learned to wait on God.
William Barclay
God himself took this human flesh upon him.
William Barclay
Faith is not only commitment to the promises of Christ it is also commitment to his demands.
William Barclay
