The simple fact is that the World is too busy to give the Holy Spirit a chance to enter in.
William Barclay
Image
Christianity does not think of man finally submitting to the power of God, it thinks of Him as finally surrendering to the love of God. It is not that man's will is crushed, but that man's heart is broken.
William Barclay
Image
So often we have a kind of vague, wistful longing that the promises of Jesus should be true. The only way really to enter into them is to believe them with the clutching intensity of a drowning man.
William Barclay
Image
Endurance is not just the ability to bear a hard thing, but to turn it into glory.
William Barclay
Image
There is no joy in the world like the joy of bringing one soul to Christ.
William Barclay
Image
In the way of Christ the reward of work well done is more work to do.
William Barclay
Image
The best way to prepare for the coming of Christ is never to forget the presence of Christ.

To repent means to realize that the kind of life we are living is wrong and that we must adopt a completely new set of values. To that end, it involves two things. It involves sorrow for what we have been and it involves the resolve that by the grace of God we will be changed.
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
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
The greatest thing is a life of obedience in the routine things of everyday life. No amount of fine feeling can take the place of faithful doing.
William Barclay
Image
Real repentance means coming not only to be sorry for the consequences of sin but to hate sin itself.
William Barclay
Image
Religion fails if it cannot speak to men as they are.
William Barclay
Image
A saint is someone whose life makes it easier to believe in God.
William Barclay
Image
Prayer is not flight, prayer is power. Prayer does not deliver a man from some terrible situation prayer enables a man to face and to master the situation.
William Barclay
Image
Pride is the ground in which all the other sins grow, and the parent from which all the other sins come.
William Barclay
Image
A man may well be condemned, not for doing something, but for doing nothing.
William Barclay
Image
If we find ourselves becoming critical of other people we should stop examining them, and start examining ourselves.
William Barclay
Image
Strict orthodoxy can cost too much if it has to be bought at the price of love. All the orthodoxy in the world will never take the place of love.
William Barclay
Image
The terrible importance of this life is that it determines eternity.
