God never gives us discernment in order that we may criticize, but that we may intercede.
Oswald ChambersThe entrance into the Kingdom is through the panging pains of repentance crashing into a man's respectable goodness; then the Holy Ghost, who produces these agonies begins the formation of the Son God in the life.
Oswald ChambersFor one man who can introduce another to Jesus Christ by the way he lives and by the atmosphere of his life, there are a thousand who can only talk jargon about him
Oswald ChambersWhen we touch the foundation of the reality of the good news of God, we will never bother Him anymore with little personal complaints.
Oswald ChambersWhy shouldnโt we experience heartbreak? Through those doorways God is opening up ways of fellowship with His Son. Most of us collapse at the first grip of pain. We sit down at the door of Godโs purpose and enter a slow death through self-pity. And all the so-called Christian sympathy of others helps us to our deathbed. But God will not. He comes with the grip of the pierced hand of His Son, as if to say, โEnter into fellowship with Me; arise and shine.โ If God can accomplish His purposes in this world through a broken heart, then why not thank Him for breaking yours?
