We have a duty to encourage one another. Many a time a word of praise or thanks or appreciation or cheer has kept a man on his feet. Blessed is the man who speaks such a word.

There is a time when to avoid trouble is to store up trouble, and when to seek for a lazy and a cowardly peace is to court a still greater danger.
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
The simple fact is that the World is too busy to give the Holy Spirit a chance to enter in.
William Barclay
Image
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
We will often find compensation if we think more of what life has given us and less about what life has taken away.

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.

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.

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
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
True prayer is asking God what He wants.

Image
Christian freedom does not mean being free to do as we like it means being free to do as we ought.
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
Prayer will never do our work for us what it will do is to strengthen us for work which must be done.
William Barclay
Image
There is no joy in the world like the joy of bringing one soul to Christ.
William Barclay
Image
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
Image
There are two great days in a person's life - the day we are born and the day we discover why.
William Barclay
Image
It is fatally easy to think of Christianity as something to be discussed and not as something to be experienced.
William Barclay
Image
If we find ourselves becoming critical of other people we should stop examining them, and start examining ourselves.

Jesus’ coming is the final and unanswerable proof that God cares.
