Oswald Chambers
Image
If your faith is in experiences, anything that happens is likely to upset that faith.
Oswald Chambers

There is only one way by which I can get right with God, and that is through the death of Jesus Christ. I must get rid of the underlying idea that I can ever be right with God because of my obedience. Who of us could ever obey God to absolute perfection!

The love of God is not created- it is His nature.

If the Spirit of God detects anything in you that is wrong, He doesn't ask you to make it right He only asks you to accept the light of truth, and then He will make it right. A child of the light will confess sin instantly and stand completely open before God. But a child of the darkness will say, “Oh, I can explain that.

One of the most amazing revelations of God comes to us when we learn that it is in the everyday things of life that we realize the magnificent deity of Jesus Christ.
Oswald Chambers
Image
It is perilously possible to make our conceptions of God like molten lead poured into a specially designed mould, and when it is cold and hard we fling it at the heads of the religious people who don't agree with us.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Remember that we have to ask things of God that are in keeping with the God whom Jesus Christ revealed.
Oswald Chambers
Image
One man or woman called of God is worth a hundred who have elected to work for God.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Sin is not wrong doing, it is wrong BEING, deliberate and emphatic independence of God.

The secret of the missionary is...I am His, and He is carrying out His work through me.
Oswald Chambers
Image
No matter what changes God has performed in you, never rely on them. Build only on a Person, the Lord Jesus Christ, and on the Spirit He gives.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Temptations in the life of faith are not accidents each temptation is part of a plan, a step in the progress of faith.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The people who influence us most are not those who buttonhole us and talk to us, but those who live their lives like the stars in heaven and the lilies in the field, perfectly simply and unaffectedly. Those are the lives that mould
