The test of a man’s religious life and character is not what he does in the exceptional moments of life, but what he does in the ordinary times, when there is nothing tremendous or exciting on. The worth of a man is revealed in his attitude to ordinary things when he is not before the footlights.
Oswald Chambers
Image
All heaven is interested in the cross of Christ, all hell terribly afraid of it, while men are the only beings who more or less ignore its meaning.
Oswald Chambers

Oswald Chambers

Never allow anything to divert you from your insight into Jesus Christ. It is the true test of whether you are spiritual or not. To be unspiritual means that other things have a growing fascination for you. Since mine eyes have looked on Jesus, I’ve lost sight of all beside, So enchained my spirit’s vision, Gazing on the Crucified.
Oswald Chambers
Image
But the miracle of the redemptive reality of God is that the worst and the vilest offender can never exhaust the depths of His love.
Oswald Chambers
Image
To identify with the death of Jesus Christ means that we must die to everything that was never a part of Him.
Oswald Chambers
Image
No man has ever gone through the crisis of deliberately making Jesus Lord and found Him to be a failure.
Oswald Chambers
Image
There is no need to get to a place of prayer pray wherever you are.
Oswald Chambers
Image
God's purpose is not to perfect me to make me a trophy in His showcase He is getting me to the place where He can use me. Let Him do what He wants.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Readiness for God means that we are ready to do the tiniest little thing or the great big thing, it makes no difference
Oswald Chambers
Image
Perseverance is more than endurance. It is endurance combined with absolute assurance and certainty that what we are looking for is going to happen.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Prayer is simple, as simple as a child making known its wants to it parents.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Prayer is not a preparation for work, it IS work. Prayer is not a preparation for the battle, it IS the battle. Prayer is two-fold: definite asking and definite waiting to receive.
Oswald Chambers
Image
It is a tremendous freedom to get rid of all self-considerat ion and learn to care about only one thing-the relationship between Christ and ourselves.
Oswald Chambers
