More quotes by 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
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
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
It is the simple truth to say that the New Testament books became canonical because no one could stop them doing so.
William Barclay
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
Religion fails if it cannot speak to men as they are.
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
God himself took this human flesh upon him.
William Barclay
The danger of prosperity is that it encourages a false independence.
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
Pride is the ground in which all the other sins grow, and the parent from which all the other sins come.
William Barclay
In the way of Christ the reward of work well done is more work to do.
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
True worship is when the spirit, the immortal and invisible part of man, speaks to and meets with God, who is immortal and invisible.
William Barclay
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
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
The essential fact of Christianity is that God thought all men worth the sacrifice of his son.
William Barclay
It is fatally easy to think of Christianity as something to be discussed and not as something to be experienced.
William Barclay
A saint is someone whose life makes it easier to believe in God.
William Barclay
The word grace emphasizes at one and the same time the helpless poverty of man and the limitless kindness of God.
William Barclay
