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
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
A man may well be condemned, not for doing something, but for doing nothing.
William Barclay
Image
Prayer is not flight, prayer is power. Prayer does not deliver a man from some terrible situation prayer enables a man to face and to master the situation.

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.

William Barclay

If we find ourselves becoming critical of other people we should stop examining them, and start examining ourselves.
William Barclay
Image
So often we have a kind of vague, wistful longing that the promises of Jesus should be true. The only way really to enter into them is to believe them with the clutching intensity of a drowning man.
William Barclay
Image
When we believe that God is Father, we also believe that such a father's hand will never cause his child a needless tear. We may not understand life any better, but we will not resent life any longer.
William Barclay
Image
It is the simple truth to say that the New Testament books became canonical because no one could stop them doing so.
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
We reverence God and we hallow God's name when our life is such that it brings honor to God and attracts others to Him.
William Barclay
Image
In the way of Christ the reward of work well done is more work to do.
William Barclay
Image
Faith in God is the instrument which enables men and women to remove the hills of difficulty which block their path.
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 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.
