I cannot give up my will - I must exercise it, putting it into action.
Oswald Chambers
Prayer is the way the life of God is nourished.
Oswald Chambers
How many people have you made homesick for God?
Oswald Chambers
The emphasis to-day is being put on the fact that we have to save men we have not. We have to exalt the Saviour Who saves men, and then make disciples in His Name.
Oswald Chambers
To be 'in the will of God' is not a matter of intellectual discernment, but a state of heart.
