More quotes by Oswald Chambers
Abandonment to God is of more value than personal holiness!
Oswald Chambers
A sentimentalist is one who delights to have high and devout emotions stirred whilst reading in an arm-chair, or in a prayer meeting, but he never translates his emotions into action. Consequently a sentimentalist is usually callous, self-centred and selfish, because the emotions he likes to have stirred do not cost him anything.
Oswald Chambers
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
The dearest friend on earth is a mere shadow compared with Jesus Christ.
Oswald Chambers
The Bible is not a book that you can open and say, 'Now, Lord, put some magic into my soul that will open up the meaning of this book.' There is only one way really to understand the Word, and that is through wrestling with the circumstances and happenings of life.
Oswald Chambers
Forgiveness is the divine miracle of grace. The cost to God was the Cross of Christ.
Oswald Chambers
We preach to men as if they were conscious they were dying sinners, they are not they are having a good time.
Oswald Chambers
God plants His saints in the most useless places. We say, 'God intends me to be here because I am so useful.' Jesus never estimated His life along the line of the greatest use. God puts His saints where they will glorify Him, and we are no judge at all of where that is.
Oswald Chambers
Begin to know Him now, and finish never
Oswald Chambers
We say, sorrow, disaster, calamity. God says, chastening and it sounds sweet to him though it is a discord to our ears. Don't faint when you are rebuked, and don't despise the chastening of the Lord. In your patience possess your souls.
Oswald Chambers
A life of intimacy with God is characterized by joy.
Oswald Chambers
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
The Christian Church should not be a secret society of specialists, but a public manifestation of believers in Jesus.
Oswald Chambers
God never fits His word to suit me He fits me to suit His word.
Oswald Chambers
The people who influence us are those who have stood unconsciously for the right thing. They are like the stars and the lilies, and the joy of God flows through them all the time.
Oswald Chambers
The lasting value of our public service for God is measured by the depth of the intimacy of our private times of fellowship and oneness with Him.
Oswald Chambers
When the darkness of dismay comes, endure until it is over, because out of it will come that following of Jesus which is an unspeakable joy.
Oswald Chambers
If we understood what happens when we use the Word of God, we would use it oftener.
Oswald Chambers
When you are in the dark, listen, and God will give you a very precious message.
Oswald Chambers
There are many things that are perfectly legitimate, but if you are going to concentrate on God you cannot do them.
Oswald Chambers
