When we discern that people are not going on spiritually and allow the discernment to turn to criticism, we block our way to God. God never gives us discernment in order that we may criticize, but that we may intercede
Oswald ChambersA practical help in keeping your personal purity unblemished in your relations with other people is to begin to see them as God does. Say to yourself, โThat man or that woman is perfect in Christ Jesus! That friend or that relative is perfect in Christ Jesus!
Oswald ChambersWe have to recognize that sin is a fact, not a defect; sin is red-handed mutiny against God. Either God or sin must die in my life...If sin rules in me, God's life in me will be killed; if God rules in me, sin in me will be killed.
Oswald Chambers
