Holiness is the balance between my nature and the law of God as expressed in Jesus Christ.
Oswald ChambersOne great effect of prayer is that it enables the soul to command the body. By obedience I make my body submissive to my soul, but prayer puts my soul in command of my body.
Oswald ChambersThe passion of Christianity comes from deliberately signing away my own rights and becoming a bondservant of Jesus Christ. Until I do that, I will not begin to be a saint.
Oswald ChambersBeware of any belief that makes you self-indulgent; it came from the pit, no matter how beautiful it sounds.
Oswald ChambersThe test of the life of a saint is not success, but faithfulness in human life as it actually is. We will set up success in Christian work as the aim; the aim is to manifest the glory of God in human life, to live the life hid with Christ in God in human conditions. Our human relationships are the actual conditions in which the ideal life of God is to be exhibited.
