Discipleship Quote by Oswald Chambers

“You cannot have a moral holiday and remain moral, nor can you have a spiritual holiday and remain spiritual.

Some of us expect to “clear the numberless ascensions”*…” quote by Oswald Chambers — Download Open image

““You cannot have a moral holiday and remain moral, nor can you have a spiritual holiday and remain spiritual. God wants you to be entirely his, and this means that you have to watch to keep yourself fit. It takes a tremendous amount of time. Some of us expect to “clear the numberless ascensions”* in about two minutes.””
