Oswald Chambers

Oswald Chambers
Sorrow burns up a great amount of shallowness.
Oswald Chambers
Be exhausted for God, but remember that your supply comes from Him. 'All my fresh springs shall be in thee.'
Oswald Chambers

Oswald Chambers
Our Lord was 30 years preparing for 3 years of service. The modern stamp is to spend 3 hours preparing for 30 years of service.
Oswald Chambers
Our work begins where God's grace has laid the foundation we are not to save souls, but to disciple them.
Oswald Chambers
Our salvation comes to us so easily because it cost God so much.
Oswald Chambers
