Image
One man or woman called of God is worth a hundred who have elected to work for God.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Never allow the thought, 'I am of no use where I am.' You are certainly of no use where you're not.
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
Never water down the Word of God, but preach it in its undiluted sternness. There must be unflinching faithfulness to the Word of God, but when you come to personal dealings with others, remember who you are- you are not some special being created in heaven, but a sinner saved by grace.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Faith is the inborn capacity to see God behind everything.
Oswald Chambers
Image
We lean to our own understanding, or we bank on service and do away with prayer, and consequently by succeeding in the external we fail in the eternal, because in the eternal we succeed only by prevailing prayer.
Oswald Chambers
Image
God wants to use us as He used His own Son
Oswald Chambers
Image
The Cross is the central event in time and eternity, and the answer to all the problems of both.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Prayer is not an exercise, it is the life.
Oswald Chambers
Image
If through a broken heart God can bring His purposes to pass in the world, then thank Him for breaking your heart.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Many of us refuse to grow where we are put consequently, we take root nowhere.
Oswald Chambers
Image
There is nothing to be valued more highly than to have people praying for us God links up His power in answer to their prayers.
Oswald Chambers
Image
We must build our faith not on fading lights but on the Light that never fails.
Oswald Chambers
Image
We should always choose our books as God chooses our friends, just a bit beyond us, so that we have to do our level best to keep up with them.
Oswald Chambers
Image
There is no greater threat to our devotion to Christ than our service for Christ.
Oswald Chambers
Image
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
Image
Tolerating a wrong attitude toward another person causes you to follow the spirit of the devil, no matter how saintly you are.
Oswald Chambers
Image
We have all had times...when we have seen things from God's standpoint and have wanted to stay there but God will never allow us to stay there. ...[I]t is in the valley where we live for the glory of God.
Oswald Chambers
Image
It's one thing to go through a crisis grandly, yet quite another to go through every day glorifying God when there is no witness, no limelight, and no one paying even the remotest attention to us.
Oswald Chambers
Image
It is perilously possible to make our conceptions of God like molten lead poured into a specially designed mould, and when it is cold and hard we fling it at the heads of the religious people who don't agree with us.
