WISDOM FROM OSWALD CHAMBERS
The Bible is the only Book that gives us any indication of the true nature of sin, and where it came from.

WISDOM FROM OSWALD CHAMBERS
Christianity is not consistency to conscience or to convictions; Christianity is being true to Jesus Christ.
from Biblical Ethics, 111 L
How should you take care of yourself?
When Mickey Mantle was dying of diseases brought on by a life of heavy drinking, he said that he would have taken better care of himself had he only known how long he was going to live.
He gives us a profound lesson. How should we “take care of ourselves” when we are never to cease?
Jesus shows his apprentices how to live in the light of the fact that they will never stop living. This is what His students are learning from Him.
From “The Divine Conspiracy” – Dallas Willard
WISDOM FROM OSWALD CHAMBERS
Awe is the condition of a man’s spirit realizing Who God is and what He has done for him personally.
Our Lord emphasizes the attitude of a child; no attitude can express such solemn awe and familiarity as that of a child.
from Not Knowing Whither, 882 L
Apart from God nothing matters. We think that health matters, that freedom matters, or knowledge or art or civilization.
And but for one insistent word they would matter indeed. That word is Eternity.
Only what we do in God will remain to us at last . . .
A.W. Tozer
WISDOM FROM OSWALD CHAMBERS
We are in danger of being stern where God is tender, and of being tender where God is stern.

“If a man cannot prove his religion in the valley, it is not worth anything.”
from Shade of His Hand, 1200 L
As for me:
Tho they slay me, yet will I trust God.
When all churches deny Him, yet will I claim Him.
If I am reviled, called evil, rejected, exiled to prisons for believing His Word,
I will embrace His Word closer to my heart.
I plant both feet at the foot of the cross,
Steady, I will remain steadfast.
I will not call conspiracy all that these people call conspiracy,
I will not fear what they fear,
Nor will I dread it.
The Lord Almighty is the One I will regard Holy,
He is the one I will fear,
He is the one I will dread.
He alone has the power of life and death over me.
His power of love casts out all fear.
And He alone will be my true sanctuary.
When they consult mediums and spiritists,
Who mutter and whisper,
I will inquire of the Lord Almighty.
I do not consult the dead on behalf of the living.
To the Law and to the testimony!
If they do not speak according to this word,
They have no light of dawn within them.
Here I stand!
I shall not be moved!
Oswald Chambers
“When the Son of man cometh, shall He find faith on the earth?”
We all have faith in good principles, in good management, in good common sense, but who amongst us has faith in Jesus Christ?
Physical courage is grand, moral courage is grander, but the man who trusts Jesus Christ in the face of the terrific problems of life is worth a whole crowd of heroes.
“Both nations and individuals have tried Christianity and abandoned it, because it has been found too difficult;
but no man has ever gone through the crisis of deliberately making Jesus Lord and found Him to be a failure.”
Oswald Chambers

(2 Corinthians 1:3-11)
Dear Father, great and gentle one,
When I am utterly, unbearably crushed so that I despair of life itself, when I feel as if I have received the sentence of death, remind me that I am to rely not on myself but on you, the God who raises the dead.
It is only you who can deliver from deadly peril. I have set my hope on you. You deliver me again and again and again. How faithful you are!
I pray for my many brothers and sisters in Christ throughout the world, that they will experience relief from suffering, deliverance from peril, and comfort after grief and despair.
Grant bountiful blessings to your people, my God, in answer to many prayers. Please receive this one and make it count among the many others!
Thank you, Father. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Spirit.
...public that is unless the church is forced underground...
30 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’
31 The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.”
Mark 12:30-31
