Why Oswald Chambers Still Matters

Because he says things like this:
The only noble sense in which we can claim to believe a thing is when we ourselves are living in the inner spirit of the thing.
I have no right to say I believe in God unless I order my life as under his all- Eye.
I have to right to say I believe that Jesus is the Son of God unless in my personal life I yield myself to that Eternal Spirit, free from all self-seeking, which became incarnate in Jesus.
I have no right to say that I believe in forgiveness as an attribute of God if in my own heart I cherish an unforgiving temper. The forgiveness of God is the test by which I myself am judged. (The Complete Works of Oswald Chambers, 385)

I have not posted for a while.

I've been busy lately.

The Lord recently gave me the responsibility of teaching Math, College Preparedness, and Public Speaking at a Classical Christian School. I had to stop right in the middle of my series on the Lord's Prayer. But I can perhaps pick that back up pretty soon.

Dave Black recently asked me if I like blogging, and I thought to myself, "Yes, of course I do." So that it why I am back to doing this. It is simply good practice for writing.
