Oswald Chambers
Image
The dearest friend on earth is a mere shadow compared with Jesus Christ.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Grace is the overflowing favor of God, and you can always count on it being available to draw upon as needed.
Oswald Chambers

To be 'in the will of God' is not a matter of intellectual discernment, but a state of heart.
Oswald Chambers
Image
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.

Our salvation comes to us so easily because it cost God so much.
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

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
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
Image
Our Lord never lays down the conditions of discipleship as the conditions of salvation.
Oswald Chambers
Image
There is only One Being who can satisfy the last aching abyss of the human heart, and that is the Lord Jesus Christ.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The institutions of Churchianity are not Christianity. An institution is a good thing if it is second immediately an institution recognizes itself it becomes the dominating factor.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Not often, but every once in a while, God brings us to a major turning point — a great crossroads in our life.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The nature of the spiritual life is that we are certain in our uncertainty.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The well of your incompleteness runs deep, but make the effort to look away from yourself and to look toward Him.
Oswald Chambers
Image
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.
