If we are going to live as disciples of Jesus, we have to remember that all noble things are difficult.
Oswald ChambersYou can never argue anyone into the Kingdom of Heaven, you cannot argue anyone anywhere. The only result of arguing is to prove to your own mind that you are right and the other fellow wrong. You cannot argue for truth; but immediately Incarnate Truth is presented, a want awakens in the soul which only God can meet.
Oswald ChambersNever make a principle out of your experience. Allow God to be as creative with others as He is with you.
Oswald ChambersObedience to the call of Christ nearly always costs everything to two people- the one who is called, and the one who loves that one.
Oswald ChambersWhen we become advocates of a creed, something dies; we do not believe God, we only believe our belief about Him.
Oswald ChambersThere have been prophets and students who handle the Bible like a child's box of bricks; they explain to us the design and structure and purpose; but as time goes on things do not work out in their way at all. They have mistaken the scaffolding for the structure, while all the time God is working out His purpose with a great and undeterred patience.
