John 10:41 "...John did no miracle: but all things that John spake of this man were true."

Oswald Chambers (1874-1917) was born July 24, 1874, in Aberdeen, Scotland. Converted in his teen years under the ministry of Charles Haddon Spurgeon, he studied art and archaeology at the University of Edinburgh before answering a call from God to the Christian ministry. He then studied theology at Dunoon College. From 1906-1910 he conducted an itinerant Bible-teaching ministry in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Japan.

In 1910, Chambers married Gertrude Hobbs. They had one daughter, Kathleen.

In 1911 he founded and became principal of the Bible Training College in Clapham, London, where he lectured until the school was closed in 1915 because of World War I. In October 1915 he sailed for Zeitoun, Egypt (near Cairo), where he ministered to troops from Australia and New Zealand as a YMCA chaplain. He died there November 15, 1917, following surgery for a ruptured appendix.

Although Oswald Chambers wrote only one book, Baffled to Fight Better, more than thirty titles bear his name. With this one exception, published works were compiled by Mrs. Chambers, a court stenographer, from her verbatim shorthand notes of his messages taken during their seven years of marriage. For half a century following her husband's death she labored to give his words to the world.

My Utmost For His Highest, his best-known book, has been continuously in print in the United States since 1935 and remains in the top ten titles of the religious book bestseller list with millions of copies in print. It has become a Christian classic.

Cont.

and of course reading scripture is a vast diference. There is simply no comparison. I have learned more and more from the Word and by listening to men God has truly raised up to teach the Word and expound upon it...that it is ALL about HIM as I have never learned before.

Praise God. He is amazing.

I have said it before and will say it again...there are no words to describe how wonderful, beautiful, awesome and amazing he is in our language.

I was also sharing with my husband that now being Reformed there is no going back to not seeing God for how sovereign he is...how it's...YEP...all about HIM, not us. I have learned more about God, Jesus, scripture in the past several years since I have been embracing RT than all the years I grew up in Arminian churches...not that I learned nothing at all in Arminian churches...but the differences in adhering to the teachings of Reformed teachers...

@ACruceSalus1 Cont.... Just to share a few lyrics from the song: I'm coming back to the heart of worship And it's all about You All about You, Jesus I'm sorry Lord for the thing I've made it When it's all about You It's all about You Jesus Its all about you Jesus

I removed the comment : /

I was saying that this vid made me think of Matt Redman's song 'The Heart of Worship' and the gist of my comment was that my husband and I were talking last night about the song and how we can get so caught up in service to God, a preacher/pastor, a friend, simply doing 'stuff' for God and lose sight of who we are doing these things for and why...perhaps we need to check our motives...at least sometimes.

@ACruceSalus1 Yes, this reading made me think a lot about my own faith as well, as brother Oswald so often does.
