Image
We must build our faith not on fading lights but on the Light that never fails.
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
Faith is not intelligent understanding, faith is deliberate commitment to a Person where I see no way.
Oswald Chambers
Image
When I was born again, I received the very life of the risen Lord from Jesus Himself.
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
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
Image
Intercessory prayer for one who is sinning prevails. God says so! The will of the man prayed for does not come into question at all, he is connected with God by prayer, and prayer on the basis of the Redemption sets the connection working and God gives life.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The people who influence us are those who have stood unconsciously for the right thing. They are like the stars and the lilies, and the joy of God flows through them all the time.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Sin is blatant mutiny against God, and either sin or God must die in my life.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Self pity is of the devil, and if I wallow in it, I cannot be used by God for his purpose in the world.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Prayer is the answer to every problem there is.
Oswald Chambers
Image
For understanding in spiritual matters, the golden rule is not intellect but obedience.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Christianity is not consistency to conscience or to convictions Christianity is being true to Jesus Christ.
Oswald Chambers
Image
It is easy to turn our religious life into a cathedral for beautiful memories, but there are feet to be washed . . .
Oswald Chambers
Image
Watch where Jesus went. The one dominant note in His life was to do His Father's will. His was not the way of wisdom or of success, but the way of faithfulness.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Don't plan without God. God seems to have a delightful way of upsetting the plans we have made, when we have not taken Him into account.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Prayer is the evidence that I am spiritually concentrated on God.
Oswald Chambers
Image
When I see Jesus Christ I simply want to be what He wants me to be.
Oswald Chambers
Image
God's will is hard only when it comes up against our stubbornness, then it is as cruel as a ploughshare and as devastating as an earthquake.
Oswald Chambers
Image
We tend to use prayer as a last resort, but God wants it to be our first line of defense.
