More quotes by Oswald Chambers
When we preach the love of God there is a danger of forgetting that the Bible reveals not first the love of God but the intense, blazing holiness of God, with His love at the center of that holiness.
Oswald Chambers
The expression of Christian character is not good doing, but God-likeness. If the Spirit of God has transformed you within, you will exhibit Divine characteristics in your life, not good human characteristics . God's life in us expresses itself as God's life, not as human life trying to be godly.
Oswald Chambers
There is no joy in the soul that has forgotten what God prizes.
Oswald Chambers
The root of all sin is the suspicion that God is not good.
Oswald Chambers
Never take your obedience as the reason God blesses you obedience is the outcome of being rightly related to God.
Oswald Chambers
Not often, but every once in a while, God brings us to a major turning point — a great crossroads in our life.
Oswald Chambers
God's nothings are His most positive answers. We have to stay on God and wait. Never try to help God to fulfill His word.
Oswald Chambers
Self pity is of the devil, and if I wallow in it, I cannot be used by God for his purpose in the world.
Oswald Chambers
If we are going to live as disciples of Jesus, we have to remember that all noble things are difficult.
Oswald Chambers
A saint is never consciously a saint- a saint is consciously dependent on God.
Oswald Chambers
Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations
Oswald Chambers
Can Jesus Christ see the agony of His soul in us? He can't unless we are so closely identified with Him that we have His view concerning the people for whom we pray. May we learn to intercede so wholeheartedly that Jesus Christ will be completely and overwhelmingly satisfied with us as intercessors.
Oswald Chambers
If we are abandoned to Jesus we have no ends of our own to serve.
Oswald Chambers
We shall find that the spheres God brings us into are not meant to teach us something but to make us something.
Oswald Chambers
Faith is the inborn capacity to see God behind everything.
Oswald Chambers
Our Lord insists on the social aspect of our lives: He shows very distinctly that we cannot further ourselves alone.
Oswald Chambers
Leave the Irreparable Past in His hands, and step out into the Irresistible Future with Him.
Oswald Chambers
We are in danger of forgetting that we cannot do what God does, and that God will not do what we can do. We cannot save ourselves nor sanctify ourselves, God does that but God will not give us good habits, He will not give us character, He will not make us walk aright. We have to do all that ourselves.
Oswald Chambers
Many of us refuse to grow where we are put consequently, we take root nowhere.
Oswald Chambers
If your faith is in experiences, anything that happens is likely to upset that faith.
Oswald Chambers
