Oswald Chambers

Oswald Chambers
If you are going on with God, the only thing that is clear to you, and the only thing God intends to be clear, is the way He deals with your own soul.
Oswald Chambers

Oswald Chambers
God judges us on the basis of the miraculous atonement by the Cross of Christ.
Oswald Chambers
When I was born again, I received the very life of the risen Lord from Jesus Himself.
Oswald Chambers
It is a trap to presume that God wants to make us perfect specimens of what He can do— God’s purpose is to make us one with Himself.
Oswald Chambers
God does not further our spiritual life in spite of our circumstances, but in and by our circumstances.
Oswald Chambers
One man or woman called of God is worth a hundred who have elected to work for God.
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
Trust completely in God, and when He brings you to a new opportunity of adventure, offering it to you, see that you take it.
