More quotes by 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
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
A man may well be condemned, not for doing something, but for doing nothing.
William Barclay
When we believe that God is Father, we also believe that such a father's hand will never cause his child a needless tear. We may not understand life any better, but we will not resent life any longer.
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
The simple fact is that the World is too busy to give the Holy Spirit a chance to enter in.
William Barclay
God himself took this human flesh upon him.
William Barclay
Endurance is not just the ability to bear a hard thing, but to turn it into glory.
William Barclay
If we are to accept the teaching of Jesus at all, then the only test of the reality of a man's religion is his attitude to his fellow men. The only possible proof that a man loves God is the demonstrated fact that he loves his fellow men.
William Barclay
There is no joy in the world like the joy of bringing one soul to Christ.
William Barclay
Faith in God is the instrument which enables men and women to remove the hills of difficulty which block their path.
William Barclay
If we find ourselves becoming critical of other people we should stop examining them, and start examining ourselves.
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
The greatest thing is a life of obedience in the routine things of everyday life. No amount of fine feeling can take the place of faithful doing.
William Barclay
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
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
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
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
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
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.
