“So the Naaman Effect is when we receive grace and peace from God to live in a state of misalignment. We own new convictions, yet we keep them to ourselves as we attempt to stay in community with people who think and feel differently.”
― Colby Martin, UnClobber: Rethinking Our Misuse of the Bible on Homosexuality

“The most important aspect of Christianity is not the work we do, but the relationship we maintain”
― Oswald Chambers, My Utmost for His Highest

“We tend to use prayer as a last resort, but God wants it to be our first line of defense. We pray when there's nothing else we can do, but God wants us to pray before we do anything at all.

Most of us would prefer, however, to spend our time doing something that will get immediate results. We don't want to wait for God to resolve matters in His good time because His idea of 'good time' is seldom in sync with ours.”
― Oswald Chambers

“Patience is more than endurance. A saint's life is in the hands of God like a bow and arrow in the hands of an archer. God is aiming at something the saint cannot see, and He stretches and strains, and every now and again the saint says--'I cannot stand anymore.' God does not heed, He goes on stretching till His purpose is in sight, then He lets fly. Trust yourself in God's hands. Maintain your relationship to Jesus Christ by the patience of faith. 'Though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him.”
― Oswald Chambers
