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.

William Barclay
Image
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.

Faith is not only commitment to the promises of Christ it is also commitment to his demands.
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
