Image
Sin is blatant mutiny against God.
Oswald Chambers
Image
A private relationship of worshiping God is the greatest essential element of spiritual fitness.
Oswald Chambers
Image
It is much easier to do something than to trust in God. That is why there are so few fellow workers with God and so many workers for Him. We would far rather work for God than believe in Him.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Never look for right in the other man, but never cease to be right yourself. We always look for justice in this world, but there is no such thing as justice. Jesus says — Never look for justice, but never cease to give it.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Never water down the Word of God, but preach it in its undiluted sternness. There must be unflinching faithfulness to the Word of God, but when you come to personal dealings with others, remember who you are- you are not some special being created in heaven, but a sinner saved by grace.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Once we see Jesus, the impossible things He does in our lives become as natural as breathing.
Oswald Chambers
Image
When I was born again, I received the very life of the risen Lord from Jesus Himself.
Oswald Chambers
Image
When a man gets to despair he knows that all his thinking will never get him out. He will only get out by the sheer creative effort of God. Consequently he is in the right attitude to receive from God that which he cannot gain for himself.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The secret of the missionary is...I am His, and He is carrying out His work through me.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The proof that our relationship is right with God is that we do our best whether we feel inspired or not.
Oswald Chambers
Image
It's one thing to go through a crisis grandly, yet quite another to go through every day glorifying God when there is no witness, no limelight, and no one paying even the remotest attention to us.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Never forget that our capacity and capability in spiritual matters is measured by, and based on, the promises of God.
Oswald Chambers
Image
God regenerates us and puts us in contact with all his divine resources, but he cannot make us walk according to his will.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The purpose of prayer is to reveal the presence of God equally present, all the time, in every condition.
Oswald Chambers
Image
You must learn to wrestle against the things that hinder your communication with God.
Oswald Chambers
Image
We are not built for ourselves, but for God. Not for service for God, but for God.
Oswald Chambers
Image
I have to learn that the aim in life is God's, not mine. God is using me from His great personal standpoint, and all He asks of me is that I trust Him, and never say — Lord, this gives me such heart-ache.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Live in a constant state of expectancy, and leave room for God to come in as He decides.
Oswald Chambers
Image
We have to take the first step as though there were no God. It is no use to wait for God to help us, He will not: but immediately we arise we find He is there.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Speak, Lord” make time to listen. Chastening is more than a means of discipline, it is meant to get me to the place of saying, “Speak, Lord.”
