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.

@HermitintheRain Amen, brother...you have said so much here today in all your comments, and all on point and very well articulated I might add. It was a blessing to read your inspired thoughts.

@HermitintheRain And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them. And Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha. 2 Kings 6:16-17
Praise the LORD my God is the LORD of hosts, God of the natural and supernatural!

@HermitintheRain despite this onslaught by the enemies of God-especially those who now have taken the name of the LORD as their own (Isaiah 4:1) yet have no part in at his table or his wedding-though they be many, i find my soul encouraged by the words of Elisha when he exclaimed:

@HermitintheRain and in nature God is removed as the hand that raises up hurricanes, earthquakes, floods and all other natural phenomenon. if denying the sovereignty of God over all his creation weren't enough, they have exalted man to the position of God in attributing all such events as a byproduct of man's doing, with God unable and/or unwilling to do anything about it-who is merely made to be a pathetic observer.

@HermitintheRain this is especially seen in the area of man's soul. liberal theology has welcomed the wisdom of the world on such matters where it has applied modern psychology/psychiatry to be the authority on what is the nature of man's soul-its problems, pathologies, etc. even in politics it has interpreted such related events as merely the response of social-economic factors, without giving any thought to God being the one who raises and destroys nations.

liberal theology has altogether erased the supernatural from the Bible. it has even subjected God to the very laws of nature. they have failed to see that the laws of nature are merely the reality of creation obeying God's command. where we see the miraculous in the Bible, we don't see God breaking the laws of nature as liberal scholars would argue, but rather we see God still sovereign over his creation, doing whatsoever he pleases as the psalmist wrote.
