The greatest thing is a life of obedience in the routine things of everyday life. No amount of fine feeling can take the place of faithful doing.
William Barclay
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

In the way of Christ the reward of work well done is more work to do.
William Barclay

William Barclay

Real repentance means coming not only to be sorry for the consequences of sin but to hate sin itself.
William Barclay
Image
A man can be so busy making a living that he forgets to make a life.
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

Religion fails if it cannot speak to men as they are.
William Barclay
Image
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
Image
God himself took this human flesh upon him.
William Barclay

The essential fact of Christianity is that God thought all men worth the sacrifice of his son.
William Barclay
Image
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
Image
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
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
