William Barclay

A man may well be condemned, not for doing something, but for doing nothing.
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.

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
Image
Pride is the ground in which all the other sins grow, and the parent from which all the other sins come.

Real repentance means coming not only to be sorry for the consequences of sin but to hate sin itself.
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. . .

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.
