A river reaches places its source never knows.
Oswald Chambers

Oswald Chambers

The test of a man’s religious life and character is not what he does in the exceptional moments of life, but what he does in the ordinary times, when there is nothing tremendous or exciting on. The worth of a man is revealed in his attitude to ordinary things when he is not before the footlights.

Never water down the Word of God, but preach it in its undiluted sternness. There must be unflinching faithfulness to the Word of God, but when you come to personal dealings with others, remember who you are- you are not some special being created in heaven, but a sinner saved by grace.
Oswald Chambers
Image
No healthy Christian ever chooses suffering he chooses God's will, as Jesus did, whether it means suffering or not.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Sorrow burns up a great amount of shallowness.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The proof that our relationship is right with God is that we do our best whether we feel inspired or not.
Oswald Chambers
Image
God's training ground, where the missionary weapons are found, is the hidden, personal, worshiping life of the saint.
Oswald Chambers
Image
We are in danger of forgetting that we cannot do what God does, and that God will not do what we can do.
Oswald Chambers
Image
It is easy to turn our religious life into a cathedral for beautiful memories, but there are feet to be washed . . .
Oswald Chambers
Image
What a blessed habit I have found my prayer list, morning by morning, it takes me via the Throne of all Grace straight to the intimate personal heart of each one mentioned here, and I know that He Who is not prescribed by time and geography answers immediately.
