Oswald Chambers Quote

I know that Jesus Christ did not come to teach only:  He came to make me what He teaches I should be.

From Colossians 1:9-10:  “For this reason, since the day we heard it, we have not ceased praying for you and asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of God’s will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to Him, as you bear fruit in every good work and as you grow in the knowledge of God.”

Oswald Chambers (1874-1917) was a Scottish evangelist and Christian teacher.  Following his death from an illness while in Egypt during World War I, his wife took on the task of transcribing the detailed notes she had written from his lectures and sermons.  Gertrude Hobbs Chambers’ efforts resulted in the publication in 1924 of MY UTMOST FOR HIS HIGHEST.  I frequently read from this devotional, and it has greatly deepened my faith and understanding of God’s Word.

With fear and trembling we must reply upon God for guidance in the inner depths.  This is the sole way to walk according to the spirit.

From Psalm 143:10:  “Teach me to do your will, for you are my God.  Let your good spirit lead me on a level path.”

Watchman Nee (1903-1972) was a Chinese church leader and Christian teacher.  He authored a collection of Christian books, and he endured persecution for his beliefs.  Ultimately, he died while being imprisoned for the final twenty years of his life.

If you seek to please men, you can never be a servant of the Lord.

Zac Poonen (born 1939) has been serving the Lord as a Christian Bible teacher for nearly 60 years in his home country of India.

Empathy, a parent’s ability to understand what a child is feeling, is an important and valuable ingredient of child rearing.

It is said that nature always sides with the hidden flaw.  Teachers have the opposite role; to side with the hidden asset, to minimize a child’s deficiencies, intensify his experience, and enlarge his life.

Haim Ginott (1922-1973) was an Israeli-born school teacher and child psychologist.  He pioneered techniques about how to converse with children.

The Bible instructs–and experience teaches–that praising God results in our burdens being lifted and our joys being multiplied.

From Psalm 138:1-3:  “I give You thanks, O Lord, with my whole heart; before the gods I sing Your praise; I bow down toward Your holy temple and give thanks to Your name for Your steadfast love and Your faithfulness, for You have exalted Your name and Your word above everything.  On the day I called, You answered me; You increased my strength of soul.”
