More quotes by William Barclay
It is the simple truth to say that the New Testament books became canonical because no one could stop them doing so.
William Barclay
If a man fights his way through his doubts to the conviction that Jesus Christ is Lord, he has attained to a certainty that the man who unthinkingly accepts things can never reach.
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
We will often find compensation if we think more of what life has given us and less about what life has taken away.
William Barclay
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
God does not choose a person for ease and comfort and selfish joy but for a task that will take all that head and heart and hand can bring to it. God chooses a man in order to use him.
William Barclay
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
But the best definition of it is to say that heaven is that state where we will always be with Jesus, and where nothing will separate us from Him any more
William Barclay
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
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
There is a time when to avoid trouble is to store up trouble, and when to seek for a lazy and a cowardly peace is to court a still greater danger.
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
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
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
Jesus is the yes to every promise of God.
William Barclay
We may not understand how the spirit works but the effect of the spirit on the lives of men is there for all to see and the only unanswerable argument for Christianity is a Christian life. No man can disregard a religion and a faith and a power which is able to make bad men good. . .
William Barclay
The Christian is called upon to be the partner of God in the work of the conversion of men.
William Barclay
A saint is someone whose life makes it easier to believe in God.
William Barclay
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
Faith in God is the instrument which enables men and women to remove the hills of difficulty which block their path.
