More quotes by William Barclay
Self-defense is a part of the law of nature nor can it be denied the community, even against the king himself.
William Barclay
For the Christian, heaven is where Jesus is. We do not need to speculate on what heaven will be like. It is enough to know that we will be for ever with Him.
William Barclay
Faith is not only commitment to the promises of Christ it is also commitment to his demands.
William Barclay
Jesus was clear that He had come, not to make life easy, but to make men great.
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
The tragedy of life and of the world is not that men do not know God the tragedy is that, knowing Him, they still insist on going their own way.
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
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
In the way of Christ the reward of work well done is more work to do.
William Barclay
There are certain things which are lost by being kept and saved by being used. Any individual talent is like that. If it is used, it will develop into something still greater. If someone refuses to use it, in the end that talent will be lost. Supremely so, life is like that.
William Barclay
The danger of prosperity is that it encourages a false independence.
William Barclay
It is the simple truth to say that the New Testament books became canonical because no one could stop them doing so.
William Barclay
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
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
If a man fights his way through his doubts to the conviction that Jesus Christ is Lord, he has attained to a certainty that the man who unthinkingly accepts things can never reach.
William Barclay
The Christian is called upon to be the partner of God in the work of the conversion of men.
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
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 a way of making use of God prayer is a way of offering ourselves to God in order that He should be able to make use of us.
William Barclay
Jesus’ coming is the final and unanswerable proof that God cares.
William Barclay
