The greatest test of Christianity is the wear and tear of daily life; it is like the shining of silver: the more it is rubbed the brighter it grows.

Oswald Chambers

God places His saints where they will bring the most glory to Him, and we are totally incapable of judging where that may be.
OSWALD CHAMBERS

Glory God Himself Judgement Place
It never cost a disciple anything to follow Jesus; to talk about cost when you are in love with anyone is an insult.
OSWALD CHAMBERS

Cost Discipline Follow Insult Talk Yourself

Break Form Human Life Slave Willing
No healthy Christian ever chooses suffering; he chooses God’s will, as Jesus did, whether it means suffering or not.
OSWALD CHAMBERS

Choice God Himself Suffering Willing

A saint realizes that it is God who engineers his circumstances; consequently there are no complaints, only unrestrained surrender to Jesus.
OSWALD CHAMBERS

The expression of Christian character is not good doing, but God-likeness. If the Spirit of God has transformed you within, you will exhibit Divine characteristics in your life, not good human characteristics . God’s life in us expresses itself as God’s life, not as human life trying to be godly.
OSWALD CHAMBERS

Character Expression God Goodness Human Religion
It is not what a man does that is of final importance, but what he is in what he does. The atmosphere produced by a man, much more than his activities, has the lasting influence.
OSWALD CHAMBERS

Activity Atmosphere Himself Important Influence Man
Measure your growth in grace by your sensitiveness to sin.
