Image
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
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.

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
Image
The word grace emphasizes at one and the same time the helpless poverty of man and the limitless kindness of God.
William Barclay
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
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
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
Image
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. . .

True worship is when the spirit, the immortal and invisible part of man, speaks to and meets with God, who is immortal and invisible.
