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
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
Love always involves responsibility, and love always involves sacrifice. And we do not really love Christ unless we are prepared to face His task and to take up His Cross.
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
If we find ourselves becoming critical of other people we should stop examining them, and start examining ourselves.
William Barclay
Image
The tragedy of life and of the world is not that men do not know God the tragedy is that, knowing Him, they still insist on going their own way.
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
The simple fact is that the World is too busy to give the Holy Spirit a chance to enter in.
William Barclay
Image
The Christian is called upon to be the partner of God in the work of the conversion of men.
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
God himself took this human flesh upon him.
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
