Description

From Oswald Chambers, well-known author of My Utmost for His Highest, come these practical insights to help Christian workers stay focused on the life of service.
Chambers urges full-time Christian workers and lay leaders to take spiritual stock and determine where they are in their faith journey. He leads them into a new understanding of God and His Word, and encourages them to immediately apply their newfound knowledge for humanity’s good and God’s glory.
He calls Christian worker, not to external piety but to a demonstration of « perfectly natural lives in which the dominating interest is God ». From such a life flows unselfish, Christlike commitment to and compassion toward others.

Oswald Chambers draws from the treasure-house of scripture, invaluable advice and encouragement for Christian workers. These « talks » lead us in the way of becoming competent servants of Jesus Christ, spiritually fit and mentally fitted, for the great task entrusted to us. Do not read this book unless you mean business, but if you do you will find wisdom and understanding on every page.

Préface

“Study to show thyself approved unto God, a work-man that needeth not to be ashamed” (2 Timothy2:15), makes a big demand upon a worker for God,and these God-given messages, spoken to the stu-dents at the Bible Training College, London, by thePrincipal, the late Oswald Chambers, help us to meetthat Divine requirement. One clear note in them is“that the servant of God has to go through the expe-rience of things before he is allowed to go througha study of them.” So the worker is required to enter voluntarily into that discipline of his life that willbring him into line with God’s way for him. Herethere is as much insistence upon spiritual fitness asright mentality, and upon intellectual discipline asupon spiritual well-being. The worker for God is aunity, spirit, soul and body, and needs to be brought by God’s grace and by personal choice and concentration into a harmoniously working whole. Mere intellectualism can be a great snare and mere pietismis not enough.
The man of God to be thoroughly furnished unto every good work must accept the spiritual discipline of reproof and correction and training in righteousness that the Scriptures convey, and alsothe mental discipline which a right understanding of the Scripture demands. These Talks in a strikingmanner put us in the way of becoming competent servants of Jesus Christ, spiritually fit, and mentally fitted, for the great task entrusted to us. Do not readthis book unless you mean business, but if you do you will find wisdom and understanding on every page.
