There is a call to spiritual perseverance. A call not to hang on and do nothing, but to work deliberately, knowing with certainty that God will never be defeated.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The true expression of Christian character is not in good-doing but in God-likeness.
Oswald Chambers
Image
We should always choose our books as God chooses our friends, just a bit beyond us, so that we have to do our level best to keep up with them.
Oswald Chambers
Image
We shall find that the spheres God brings us into are not meant to teach us something but to make us something.
Oswald Chambers
Image
You must learn to wrestle against the things that hinder your communication with God.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The whole meaning of prayer is that we may know God.

Our Lord never lays down the conditions of discipleship as the conditions of salvation.
Oswald Chambers

A good book, in the language of the book-sellers, is a salable one in that of the curious, a scarce one in that of men of sense, a useful and instructive one.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Before God can use a man greatly he must wound him deeply.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The secret of Christian quietness is not indifference, but the knowledge that God is my Father, He loves me, and I shall never think of anything He will forget. With this knowledge, worry becomes an impossibility.

Oswald Chambers
Image

Oswald Chambers
Image
Sanctification is not my idea of what I want God to do for me sanctification is God’s idea of what He wants to do for me.
Oswald Chambers
Image
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!
Oswald Chambers
Image
It is impossible to live the life of a disciple without definite times of secret prayer. You will find that the place to enter in is in your business, as you walk along the streets, in the ordinary ways of life, when no one dreams you are praying, and the reward comes openly, a revival here, a blessing there.
Oswald Chambers
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
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
Image
The greatest competitor of devotion to Jesus is service for Him.
Oswald Chambers

Never try to help God fulfill His word.
