William Barclay People Quotations

Every discouraging sermon is a wicked sermon... There could hardly be a more un-Christian way of living than to go about in such a way as to depress and to discourage other people.

It may well be a sign of the decadence of the Church and the failure of Christianity that gifts have to be coaxed out of people, and that often they will not give at all unless they get something for their money in the way of entertainment or of goods. Giving which is real giving has a certain recklessness in it.

In the time we have it is surely our duty to do all the good we can to all the people we can in all the ways we can.

If we find ourselves becoming critical of other people we should stop examining them, and start examining ourselves.
