Image
God makes us as broken bread and poured-out wine to please Him. Beware of competing calls once the call of God grips you.
Oswald Chambers
Image
If God allows you to be stripped of the exterior portions of your life, He means for you to cultivate the interior
Oswald Chambers
Image
If your faith is in experiences, anything that happens is likely to upset that faith.
Oswald Chambers
Image
It is perilously possible to make our conceptions of God like molten lead poured into a specially designed mould, and when it is cold and hard we fling it at the heads of the religious people who don't agree with us.
Oswald Chambers
Image
When we are consciously aware of being used as broken bread and poured out wine, we have yet another level to reach - a level where all awareness of ourselves and what God is doing through us is completely eliminated. A saint is never consciously a saint - a saint is consciously dependent on God.
Oswald Chambers
Image
I cannot give up my will - I must exercise it, putting it into action.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Never look for right in the other man, but never cease to be right yourself. We always look for justice in this world, but there is no such thing as justice. Jesus says — Never look for justice, but never cease to give it.
Oswald Chambers
Image
I have to learn that the aim in life is God's, not mine.

Oswald Chambers
Image
There are many things that are perfectly legitimate, but if you are going to concentrate on God you cannot do them.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Live in a constant state of expectancy, and leave room for God to come in as He decides.
Oswald Chambers
Image
When someone thinks that to develop a holy life he must always be alone with God, he is no longer of any use to others.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Sin is blatant mutiny against God, and either sin or God must die in my life.
Oswald Chambers
Image
My unrestrained commitment of myself to God gives the Holy Spirit the opportunity to grant to me the holiness of Jesus Christ.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Certainty is the mark of the commonsense life-gracious uncertainty is the mark of the spiritual life.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Whenever the insistence is on the point that God answers prayer, we are off the track. The meaning of prayer is that we get hold of God, not of the answer.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Our work begins where God's grace has laid the foundation we are not to save souls, but to disciple them.
Oswald Chambers
Image
All our fret and worry is caused by calculating without God.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Our true character comes out in the way we pray.
