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