Our Lord insists on the social aspect of our lives: He shows very distinctly that we cannot further ourselves alone.

More quotes by Oswald Chambers
God's nothings are His most positive answers. We have to stay on God and wait. Never try to help God to fulfill His word.
Oswald Chambers
The loadstar of a saint is God Himself, not estimated usefulness. It is the work that God does through us that count, not what we do for him.
Oswald Chambers
Jesus said, 'Go ... and make disciples,' not converts to your opinions.
Oswald Chambers
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
We have to recognize that sin is a fact, not a defect sin is red-handed mutiny against God. Either God or sin must die in my life...If sin rules in me, God's life in me will be killed if God rules in me, sin in me will be killed.
Oswald Chambers
If we were never depressed we would not be alive - only material things don't suffer depression. If human beings were not capable of depression, we would have no capacity for happiness and exaltation. Whenever you examine yourself, take into your capacity for depression.
Oswald Chambers
Never be diplomatic and careful about the treasure God gives. This is poverty triumphant.
Oswald Chambers
Am I becoming more and more in love with God as a holy God, or with the conception of an amiable Being who says, “Oh well, sin doesn’t matter much”?
Oswald Chambers
It is impossible to live the life of a disciple without definite times of secret prayer. You will find that the place to enter in is in your business, as you walk along the streets, in the ordinary ways of life, when no one dreams you are praying, and the reward comes openly, a revival here, a blessing there.
Oswald Chambers
The battle is lost or won in the secret places of the will before God, never first in the external world.
Oswald Chambers
God never gives us discernment in order that we may criticize, but that we may intercede.
Oswald Chambers
There is a vast difference between devotion to a person and devotion to principles or to a cause. Our Lord never proclaimed a cause- He proclaimed personal devotion to Himself. To be a disciple is to be a devoted bondservant motivated by love for the Lord Jesus.
Oswald Chambers
Doubt is not always a sign that a man is wrong it may be a sign that he is thinking.
Oswald Chambers
God will never reveal more truth about himself until you have obeyed what you know already
Oswald Chambers
The greatest competitor of devotion to Jesus is service to Him. It is never 'Do, do' with the Lord, but 'Be, be' and He will 'do' through you. The only way to keep true to God is by a steady persistent refusal to be interested in Christian work and to be interested alone in Jesus Christ.
Oswald Chambers
If we are obsessed by God, nothing else can get into our lives - not concerns, nor tribulation, not worries.
Oswald Chambers
When a man says he must develop a holy life alone with God, he is of no more use to his fellow men: he puts himself on a pedestal, away from the common run of men.........If we are abandoned to Jesus, we have no ends of our own to serve.
Oswald Chambers
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
The purpose of prayer is to reveal the presence of God equally present, all the time, in every condition.
Oswald Chambers
Never allow the thought, 'I am of no use where I am.' You are certainly of no use where you're not.
Oswald Chambers
