Quote

As Christians we are not out for our own cause at all, we are out for the cause of God, which can never be our cause. We do not know what God is after, but we have to maintain our relationship with Him whatever happens.

Our Lord’s making of a disciple is supernatural. He does not build on any natural capacity of ours at all. God does not ask us to do the things that are naturally easy for us- He only asks us to do the things that we are perfectly fit to do through His grace, and that is where the cross we must bear will always come.
Oswald Chambers
Image
A good book, in the language of the book-sellers, is a salable one in that of the curious, a scarce one in that of men of sense, a useful and instructive one.
Oswald Chambers

Oswald Chambers
Image
An unguarded strength is a double weakness.
