We are apt to think that everything that happens to us is to be turned into useful teaching; it is to be turned into something better than teaching, into character. We shall find that the spheres God brings us into are not meant to teach us something but to make us something.
Oswald ChambersIf in preaching the gospel you substitute your knowledge of the way of salvation for confidence in the power of the gospel, you hinder people from getting to reality.
Oswald ChambersOur prayers are heard, not because we are in earnest, not because we suffer, but because Jesus suffered.
Oswald Chambers
