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
Drudgery is one of the finest touchstones of character there is. Drudgery is work that is very far removed from anything to do with the ideal - the utterly mean grubby things and when we come in contact with them we know instantly whether or not we are spiritually real.
Oswald Chambers
Image
You can never argue anyone into the Kingdom of Heaven, you cannot argue anyone anywhere. The only result of arguing is to prove to your own mind that you are right and the other fellow wrong. You cannot argue for truth but immediately Incarnate Truth is presented, a want awakens in the soul which only God can meet.
Oswald Chambers
Image
If in preaching the gospel you substitute your knowledge of the way of salvation for confidence in the power of the gospel, you hinder people from getting to reality.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Jesus Christ demands the same unrestrained, adventurous spirit in those who have placed their trust in Him that the natural man exhibits. If a person is ever going to do anything worthwhile, there will be times when he must risk everything by his leap in the dark.
Oswald Chambers
Image
It is a life of FAITH, not of intellect and reason, but a life of knowing Who makes us “go.
Oswald Chambers
Image
So long as there is a human being who does not know Jesus Christ, I am his debtor to serve him until he does.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Holiness is the balance between my nature and the law of God as expressed in Jesus Christ.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The expression of Christian character is not good doing, but God-likeness. If the Spirit of God has transformed you within, you will exhibit Divine characteristics in your life, not good human characteristics . God's life in us expresses itself as God's life, not as human life trying to be godly.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Complete weakness and dependence will always be the occasion for the Spirit of God to manifest His power.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Be exhausted for God, but remember that your supply comes from Him. 'All my fresh springs shall be in thee.'
Oswald Chambers
Image
God does not give us overcoming life He gives us life as we overcome.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The best measure of a spiritual life is not its ecstasies but its obedience.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Watch your motive before God have no other motive in prayer than to know Him.
Oswald Chambers
Image
A saint realizes that it is God who engineers his circumstances consequently there are no complaints, only unrestrained surrender to Jesus.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Seeing is never believing: we interpret what we see in the light of what we believe. Faith is confidence in God before you see God emerging, therefore the nature of faith is that it must be tried.
Oswald Chambers
Image
I have to get to the point of the absolute and unquestionable relationship that takes everything exactly as it comes from Him. God never guides us at some time in the future, but always here and now. Realize that the Lord is here now, and the freedom you receive is immediate.
Oswald Chambers
Image
God's training ground, where the missionary weapons are found, is the hidden, personal, worshiping life of the saint.
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
Image
Let the consequences of your obedience be left up to God.
