Christian freedom does not mean being free to do as we like; it means being free to do as we ought.
William BarclayFor the Christian, heaven is where Jesus is. We do not need to speculate on what heaven will be like. It is enough to know that we will be for ever with Him.
William BarclayThe word grace emphasizes at one and the same time the helpless poverty of man and the limitless kindness of God.
William BarclayThe simple fact is that the World is too busy to give the Holy Spirit a chance to enter in.
William BarclayWe are trying not so much to make God listen to us as to make ourselves listen to him; we are trying not to persuade God to do what we want, but to find out what he wants us to do. It so often happens that in prayer we are really saying, 'Thy will be changed,' when we ought to be saying, 'Thy will be done.' The first object of prayer is not so much to speak to God as to listen to him.
