Faith in God is the instrument which enables men and women to remove the hills of difficulty which block their path.
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
True worship is when the spirit, the immortal and invisible part of man, speaks to and meets with God, who is immortal and invisible.

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
Image
The essential fact of Christianity is that God thought all men worth the sacrifice of his son.
William Barclay
Image

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

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
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
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.
