The great thing about faith in God is that it keeps a man undisturbed in the midst of disturbance.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The busyness of things obscures our concentration on God ... Never let a hurried lifestyle disturb the relationship of abiding in Him. This is an easy thing to allow, but we must guard against it.
Oswald Chambers
Image
You can never argue anyone into the Kingdom of Heaven, you cannot argue anyone anywhere. The only result of arguing is to prove to your own mind that you are right and the other fellow wrong.

Oswald Chambers

Oswald Chambers
Image
Once we see Jesus, the impossible things He does in our lives become as natural as breathing.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Prayer is simple, prayer is supernatural, and to anyone not related to our Lord Jesus Christ, prayer is apt to look stupid.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The voice of the Spirit is as gentle as a zephyr, so gentle that unless you are living in perfect communion with God, you never hear it.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Today Jesus Christ is being dispatched as the Figurehead of a Religion, a mere example. He is that, but he is infinitely more He is salvation itself, He is the Gospel of God.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Living a life of faith means never knowing where you are being led.
Oswald Chambers
Image
We all know people who have been made much meaner and more irritable and more intolerable to live with by suffering: it is not right to say that all suffering perfects. It only perfects one type of person ...... the one who accepts the call of God in Christ Jesus.
Oswald Chambers
Image
God judges us on the basis of the miraculous atonement by the Cross of Christ.
Oswald Chambers
Image
For one man who can introduce another to Jesus Christ by the way he lives and by the atmosphere of his life, there are a thousand who can only talk jargon about him
Oswald Chambers
Image
A saint realizes that it is God who engineers his circumstances consequently there are no complaints, only unrestrained surrender to Jesus.
