God's grace turns out men and women with a strong family likeness to Jesus Christ, not milksops.
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 are not responsible for the circumstances we are in, but we are responsible for the way we allow those circumstances to affect us; we can either allow them to get on top of us or we can allow them to transform us into what God wants us to be.
Oswald ChambersGod has one destined end for mankind - holiness! His one aim is the production of saints. God is not an eternal blessing-machine for men. He did not come to save men out of pity. He came to save men because He had created them to be holy.
