More quotes by Oswald Chambers

Image
The test of a man’s religious life and character is not what he does in the exceptional moments of life, but what he does in the ordinary times, when there is nothing tremendous or exciting on. The worth of a man is revealed in his attitude to ordinary things when he is not before the footlights.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Isaiah was so attuned to God, because of the great crisis he had just endured, that the call of God penetrated his soul. The majority of us cannot hear anything but ourselves. And we cannot hear anything God says. But to be brought to the place where we can hear the call of God is to be profoundly changed.

A river reaches places its source never knows.

Sincerity means that the appearance and the reality are exactly the same.
Oswald Chambers

If in preaching the gospel you substitute your knowledge of the way of salvation for confidence in the power of the gospel, you hinder people from getting to reality.

It must be God first, God second, and God third
Oswald Chambers

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
We must build our faith not on fading lights but on the Light that never fails.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The one thing for which we are all being disciplined is to know that God is real. As soon as God becomes real, other people become shadows. Nothing that other saints do or say can ever perturb the one who is built on God.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The greatest answer to prayer is that I am brought into a perfect understanding with God, and that alters my view of actual things.
Oswald Chambers
Image
There is no condition of life in which we cannot abide in Jesus. We have to learn to abide in Him wherever we are placed.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The moment we recognize our complete weakness and our dependence upon Him will be the very moment that the Spirit of God will exhibit His power.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The greatest competitor of devotion to Jesus is service for Him.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Trust completely in God, and when He brings you to a new opportunity of adventure, offering it to you, see that you take it.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Our salvation comes to us so easily because it cost God so much.
Oswald Chambers
Image
It is easier to serve God without a vision, easier to work for God without a call, because then you are not bothered by what God requires common sense is your guide, veneered over with Christian sentiment. You will be more prosperous and successful, more leisure-hearted, if you never realize the call of God.
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
in the will of God is not a matter of intellectual discernment, but a state of heart... It's motto is -- My Father can do what he likes with me, He may bless me to death, or give me a bitter cup I delight to do His will.
