More quotes by Oswald Chambers
No matter what changes God has performed in you, never rely on them. Build only on a Person, the Lord Jesus Christ, and on the Spirit He gives.
Oswald Chambers
Paul welcomed hearbreak, disillusionment and tribulation for only one reason - - these things kept him immovable in his devotion to the gospel of God.
Oswald Chambers
By the supernatural miracle of God's grace I stand justified, not because I am sorry for my sin, not because I have repented, but because of what Jesus has done.
Oswald Chambers
There is no greater threat to our devotion to Christ than our service for Christ.
Oswald Chambers
If Jesus ever commanded us to do something that He was unable to equip us to accomplish, He would be a liar. And if we make our own inability a stumbling block or an excuse not to be obedient, it means that we are telling God that there is something which He has not yet taken into account.
Oswald Chambers
Speak, Lord” make time to listen. Chastening is more than a means of discipline, it is meant to get me to the place of saying, “Speak, Lord.”
Oswald Chambers
God does not expect us to imitate Jesus Christ He expects us to allow the life of Jesus to be manifested in our moral flesh.
Oswald Chambers
Remember that we have to ask things of God that are in keeping with the God whom Jesus Christ revealed.
Oswald Chambers
We must build our faith not on fading lights but on the Light that never fails.
Oswald Chambers
Sin is blatant mutiny against God, and either sin or God must die in my life.
Oswald Chambers
Do not have as your motive the desire to be known as a praying man. Get an inner chamber in which to pray where no one knows you are praying, shut the door, and talk to God in secret.
Oswald Chambers
We preach to men as if they were conscious they were dying sinners, they are not they are having a good time.
Oswald Chambers
Living a life of faith means never knowing where you are being led.
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
Sanctification costs to the extent of an intense narrowing of all our interests on earth and an immense broadening of all our interests in God.
Oswald Chambers
A sentimentalist is one who delights to have high and devout emotions stirred whilst reading in an arm-chair, or in a prayer meeting, but he never translates his emotions into action. Consequently a sentimentalist is usually callous, self-centred and selfish, because the emotions he likes to have stirred do not cost him anything.
Oswald Chambers
No healthy Christian ever chooses suffering he chooses God's will, as Jesus did, whether it means suffering or not.
Oswald Chambers
As soon as we abandon ourselves to God and do the task He has placed closest to us, He begins to fill our lives with surprises.
Oswald Chambers
The more you fulfill yourself, the less you will seek God.
Oswald Chambers
If we are to be ready for Jesus Christ, we have to stop being religious (that is, using religion as a higher kind of culture) and be spiritually real.
Oswald Chambers
