Beware of harking back to what you once were when God wants you to be something you have never been.
Oswald ChambersWe trample the blood of the Son of God underfoot if we think we are forgiven because we are sorry for our sins.
Oswald ChambersIsaiah was so attuned to God, because of the great crisis he had just endured, that the call of God penetrated his soul. The majority of us cannot hear anything but ourselves. And we cannot hear anything God says. But to be brought to the place where we can hear the call of God is to be profoundly changed.
Oswald ChambersIf sympathy is all that human beings need, then the Cross of Christ is an absurdity and there is absolutely no need for it. What the world needs is not "a little bit of love," but major surgery. If you think you are helping lost people with your sympathy and understanding, you are a traitor to Jesus Christ. You must have a right-standing relationship with Him yourself, and pour your life out in helping others in His wayโ not in a human way that ignores God.
