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.
William Barclay
Image
The Christian man must aim at that complete obedience to God in which life finds its highest happiness, its greatest good, its perfect consummation, its peace.
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
True prayer is asking God what He wants.
William Barclay
Image
There are certain things which are lost by being kept and saved by being used. Any individual talent is like that. If it is used, it will develop into something still greater. If someone refuses to use it, in the end that talent will be lost. Supremely so, life is like that.
William Barclay
Image
The danger of prosperity is that it encourages a false independence.
William Barclay
Image
For the Christian, heaven is where Jesus is. We do not need to speculate on what heaven will be like. It is enough to know that we will be for ever with Him.
William Barclay
Image
It is fatally easy to think of Christianity as something to be discussed and not as something to be experienced.
