A saint is someone whose life makes it easier to believe in God.
William Barclay

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
The danger of prosperity is that it encourages a false independence.
William Barclay

If we are to accept the teaching of Jesus at all, then the only test of the reality of a man's religion is his attitude to his fellow men. The only possible proof that a man loves God is the demonstrated fact that he loves his fellow men.
William Barclay

William Barclay
Image
The Christian is called upon to be the partner of God in the work of the conversion of men.
William Barclay
Image
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.
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
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
The simple fact is that the World is too busy to give the Holy Spirit a chance to enter in.
William Barclay
Image
Religion fails if it cannot speak to men as they are.
William Barclay
Image
Jesus was clear that He had come, not to make life easy, but to make men great.
William Barclay
Image
...for Paul faith is always faith in a person. Faith is not the intellectual acceptance of a body of doctrine faith is faith in a person.
William Barclay
Image
If we find ourselves becoming critical of other people we should stop examining them, and start examining ourselves.
