Image
Temptations in the life of faith are not accidents each temptation is part of a plan, a step in the progress of faith.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Never allow anything to divert you from your insight into Jesus Christ. It is the true test of whether you are spiritual or not. To be unspiritual means that other things have a growing fascination for you. Since mine eyes have looked on Jesus, I’ve lost sight of all beside, So enchained my spirit’s vision, Gazing on the Crucified.
Oswald Chambers
Image
When you are in the dark, listen, and God will give you a very precious message.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Beware of any belief that makes you self-indulgent it came from the pit, no matter how beautiful it sounds.
Oswald Chambers

It is a life of FAITH, not of intellect and reason, but a life of knowing Who makes us “go.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Is He going to help Himself to your life, or are you taken up with your conception of what you are going to do? God is responsible for our lives, and the one great keynote is reckless reliance upon Him.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The well of your incompleteness runs deep, but make the effort to look away from yourself and to look toward Him.
Oswald Chambers
Image
I have learnt that I am me, that I can do the things that, as one might put it, me can do, but I cannot do the things that me would like to do.
Oswald Chambers
Image
What hinders me from hearing is that I am taken up with other things. It is not that I will not hear God, but I am not devoted in the right place. I am devoted to things, to service, to convictions, and God may say what He likes but I do not hear Him.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The Sermon on the Mount is not a set of principles to be obeyed apart from identification with Jesus Christ. The Sermon on the Mount is a statement of the life we will live when the Holy Spirit is getting his way with us.
Oswald Chambers
Image
I have to learn that the aim in life is God's, not mine.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Jesus Christ has undertaken by His redemption to put in me a heart so pure that God can see nothing to censure.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The center of salvation is the Cross of Jesus, and the reason it is so easy to obtain salvation is because it cost God so much.
Oswald Chambers
Image
If we understood what happens when we use the Word of God, we would use it oftener.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Faith is not intelligent understanding, faith is deliberate commitment to a Person where I see no way.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Every element of our own self-reliance must be put to death by the power of God.
Oswald Chambers
Image
God expects no complaining on our part and offers no explanation on His part.
Oswald Chambers
Image
All heaven is interested in the cross of Christ, all hell terribly afraid of it, while men are the only beings who more or less ignore its meaning.
Oswald Chambers
Image
It is a tremendous freedom to get rid of all self-considerat ion and learn to care about only one thing-the relationship between Christ and ourselves.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Prayer is the exercise of drawing on the grace of God.
