More people have been brought into the church by the kindness of real Christian love than by all the theological arguments in the world.
William Barclay
Image
Faith is not only commitment to the promises of Christ it is also commitment to his demands.
William Barclay
Image
There are two great days in a person's life - the day we are born and the day we discover why.
William Barclay
Image
When we love anyone with our whole hearts, life begins when we are with that person it is only in their company that we are really and truly alive.
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
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.

Prayer will never do our work for us what it will do is to strengthen us for work which must be done.
William Barclay
Image
Jesus’ coming is the final and unanswerable proof that God cares.
William Barclay
Image
It may be that one of our great faults in prayer is that we talk too much and listen too little. When prayer is at its highest we wait in silence for God's voice to us we linger in His presence for His peace and His power to flow over us and around us we lean back in His everlasting arms and feel the serenity of perfect security in Him.
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
It is fatally easy to think of Christianity as something to be discussed and not as something to be experienced.
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
The simple fact is that the World is too busy to give the Holy Spirit a chance to enter in.
William Barclay
Image
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
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
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
The best way to prepare for the coming of Christ is never to forget the presence of Christ.
William Barclay
Image
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
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.

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.
