The simple fact is that the World is too busy to give the Holy Spirit a chance to enter in.
William Barclay
Image
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.

Jesus is the yes to every promise of God.
William Barclay
Image
Every discouraging sermon is a wicked sermon... There could hardly be a more un-Christian way of living than to go about in such a way as to depress and to discourage other people.
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
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.
William Barclay

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.

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.

A saint is someone whose life makes it easier to believe in God.
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
There is no joy in the world like the joy of bringing one soul to Christ.
William Barclay
Image
We have a duty to encourage one another. Many a time a word of praise or thanks or appreciation or cheer has kept a man on his feet. Blessed is the man who speaks such a word.
William Barclay
Image
God himself took this human flesh upon him.
William Barclay
Image
God tested Abraham. Temptation is not meant to make us fail it is meant to confront us with a situation out of which we emerge stronger than we were. Temptation is not the penalty of manhood it is the glory of manhood.
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
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
Faith is not only commitment to the promises of Christ it is also commitment to his demands.
William Barclay
Image
The terrible importance of this life is that it determines eternity.
William Barclay
Image
The best way to prepare for the coming of Christ is never to forget the presence of Christ.
