More quotes by Oswald Chambers
It must be God first, God second, and God third
Oswald Chambers
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
'I have chosen you!' Keep that note of greatness in your creed. It is not that you have got God but that He has got you.
Oswald Chambers
The sympathy which is reverent with what it cannot understand is worth its weight in gold.
Oswald Chambers
Believe steadfastly on Him and everything that challenges you will strengthen your faith. There is continual testing in the life of faith up to the point of our physical death, which is the last great test. Faith is absolute trust in God-trust that could never imagine that He would forsake us.
Oswald Chambers
The voice of the Spirit is as gentle as a zephyr, so gentle that unless you are living in perfect communion with God, you never hear it.
Oswald Chambers
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
Isaiah was so attuned to God, because of the great crisis he had just endured, that the call of God penetrated his soul. The majority of us cannot hear anything but ourselves. And we cannot hear anything God says. But to be brought to the place where we can hear the call of God is to be profoundly changed.
Oswald Chambers
God has one destined end for mankind - holiness! His one aim is the production of saints. God is not an eternal blessing-machine for men. He did not come to save men out of pity. He came to save men because He had created them to be holy.
Oswald Chambers
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
Beware of harking back to what you once were when God wants you to be something you have never been.
Oswald Chambers
For understanding in spiritual matters, the golden rule is not intellect but obedience.
Oswald Chambers
Christianity is not consistency to conscience or to convictions Christianity is being true to Jesus Christ.
Oswald Chambers
Prayer is not an exercise, it is the life.
Oswald Chambers
Prayer is the way the life of God is nourished.
Oswald Chambers
When you have learned to walk in the light of the Lord, bitterness and contention are impossible.
Oswald Chambers
It is a trap to presume that God wants to make us perfect specimens of what He can do— God’s purpose is to make us one with Himself.
Oswald Chambers
God's end is to enable me to see that he can walk on the chaos of my life just now.
Oswald Chambers
Sin is blatant mutiny against God, and either sin or God must die in my life.
Oswald Chambers
We have an idea that God is leading us to a particular end, a desired goal He is not...What we call the process God calls the end. His purpose is that I depend on Him and His power NOW. It is the process, not the end that is glorifying to God.
Oswald Chambers
