Religion fails if it cannot speak to men as they are.
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
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
More people have been brought into the church by the kindness of real Christian love than by all the theological arguments in the world.

Endurance is not just the ability to bear a hard thing, but to turn it into glory.
William Barclay
Image
The only victory love can enjoy is the day when its offer of love is answered by the return of love. The only possible final triumph is a universe loved by God and in love with God.
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 is the simple truth to say that the New Testament books became canonical because no one could stop them doing so.
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.
William Barclay
Image
The simple fact is that the World is too busy to give the Holy Spirit a chance to enter in.
William Barclay
Image
The essential fact of Christianity is that God thought all men worth the sacrifice of his son.
William Barclay
Image
The Christian is a [person] of joy... A gloomy Christian is a contradiction of terms, and nothing in all religious history has done Christianity more harm than its connection with black clothes and long faces.
William Barclay
Image
Prayer will never do our work for us what it will do is to strengthen us for work which must be done.

A man may well be condemned, not for doing something, but for doing nothing.
