More quotes by William Barclay
Real repentance means coming not only to be sorry for the consequences of sin but to hate sin itself.
William Barclay
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
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
Jesus is the yes to every promise of God.
William Barclay
There is no joy in the world like the joy of bringing one soul to Christ.
William Barclay
The danger of prosperity is that it encourages a false independence.
William Barclay
It is fatally easy to think of Christianity as something to be discussed and not as something to be experienced.
William Barclay
The best way to prepare for the coming of Christ is never to forget the presence of Christ.
William Barclay
Endurance is not just the ability to bear a hard thing, but to turn it into glory.
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
Prayer is not a way of making use of God prayer is a way of offering ourselves to God in order that He should be able to make use of us.
William Barclay
Faith is not only commitment to the promises of Christ it is also commitment to his demands.
William Barclay
The word grace emphasizes at one and the same time the helpless poverty of man and the limitless kindness of God.
William Barclay
There is only one way to bring peace to the heart, joy to the mind, and beauty to the life it is to accept and do the will of God.
William Barclay
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
Pride is the ground in which all the other sins grow, and the parent from which all the other sins come.
William Barclay
I thank you for my friends, for those who understand me better than I understand myself. For those who know me at my worst, and still like me. For those who have forgiven me when I had no right to expect to be forgiven. Help me to be as true to my friends as I would wish them to be to me.
William Barclay
If we find ourselves becoming critical of other people we should stop examining them, and start examining ourselves.
William Barclay
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
The only way to get our values right is to see, not the beginning, but the end of the way, to see things not only in the light of time but in the light of Eternity.
William Barclay
