Love for the Lord is not an ethereal, intellectual, dreamlike thing it is the intensest, most vital, most passionate love of which the human heart is capable.

More quotes by Oswald Chambers
You can never argue anyone into the Kingdom of Heaven, you cannot argue anyone anywhere. The only result of arguing is to prove to your own mind that you are right and the other fellow wrong. You cannot argue for truth but immediately Incarnate Truth is presented, a want awakens in the soul which only God can meet.
Oswald Chambers
Never consider whether you are of use but ever consider that you are not your own but His.
Oswald Chambers
We are not meant to be seen as God's perfect, bright-shining examples, but to be seen as the everyday essence of ordinary life exhibiting the miracle of His grace.
Oswald Chambers
When you have learned to walk in the light of the Lord, bitterness and contention are impossible.
Oswald Chambers
We have to recognize that sin is a fact, not a defect sin is red-handed mutiny against God. Either God or sin must die in my life...If sin rules in me, God's life in me will be killed if God rules in me, sin in me will be killed.
Oswald Chambers
God can never make us wine if we object to the fingers He uses to crush us with.
Oswald Chambers
Sanctification costs to the extent of an intense narrowing of all our interests on earth and an immense broadening of all our interests in God.
Oswald Chambers
Never run before God gives you His direction. If you have the slightest doubt, then He is not guiding. Whenever there is doubt-wait.
Oswald Chambers
Never let the sense of failure corrupt your new action.
Oswald Chambers
Jesus Christ demands the same unrestrained, adventurous spirit in those who have placed their trust in Him that the natural man exhibits. If a person is ever going to do anything worthwhile, there will be times when he must risk everything by his leap in the dark.
Oswald Chambers
The truth is we have nothing to fear and nothing to overcome because He is all in all and we are more than conquerors through Him.
Oswald Chambers
There is no joy in the soul that has forgotten what God prizes.
Oswald Chambers
God did not direct His call to Isaiah— Isaiah overheard God saying, . . . who will go for Us? The call of God is not just for a select few but for everyone. Whether I hear God’s call or not depends on the condition of my ears, and exactly what I hear depends upon my spiritual attitude.
Oswald Chambers
Too often we treat prayer as the preparation for the work of the church. Do you not see? Prayer IS the work of the church.
Oswald Chambers
The life of faith is not a life of mounting up with wings, but a life of walking and not fainting.
Oswald Chambers
We tend to use prayer as a last resort, but God wants it to be our first line of defense.
Oswald Chambers
It is easier to serve God without a vision, easier to work for God without a call, because then you are not bothered by what God requires common sense is your guide, veneered over with Christian sentiment. You will be more prosperous and successful, more leisure-hearted, if you never realize the call of God.
Oswald Chambers
Let the consequences of your obedience be left up to God.
Oswald Chambers
Faith is not intelligent understanding, faith is deliberate commitment to a Person where I see no way.
Oswald Chambers
It is possible to know all about doctrine and yet not know Jesus. The soul is in danger when knowledge of doctrine outsteps intimate touch with Jesus. ....Have I a personal history with Jesus Christ? The one sign of discipleship is intimate connection with Him, a knowledge of Jesus Christ nothing can shake.
