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 BarclayWe 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 BarclayPrayer 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.
William BarclayThe true, the genuine worship is when man, through his spirit, attains to friendship and intimacy with God. True and genuine worship is not to come to a certain place; it is not to go through a certain ritual or liturgy; it is not even to bring certain gifts. 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
