Oswald Chambers quotes about
his-love firsts holiness
When we preach the love of God there is a danger of forgetting that the Bible reveals not first the love of God but the intense, blazing holiness of God, with His love at the center of that holiness.

The remarkable thing about God is that when you fear God, you fear nothing else, whereas if you do not fear God, you fear everything else.
secret-places battle world
The battle is lost or won in the secret places of the will before God, never first in the external world.
neglect workers time-with-god
Spend plenty of time with God; let other things go, but don't neglect Him. We are not here to do work for God, we are here to be workers with Him, those through whom He can do His work.

Keep your life so constantly in touch with God that His surprising power can break through at any point.

We are built for the valley, for the ordinary stuff we are in, and that is where we have to prove our mettle.

Thoughts about myself hinder my usefulness to God.

The height of the mountaintop is measured by the drab drudgery of the valley.
earthquakes stubbornness come-up
God's will is hard only when it comes up against our stubbornness, then it is as cruel as a ploughshare and as devastating as an earthquake.
