How Scripture can inform a well-rounded life.
Here's Two projects My Utmost For His Highest by various artist and then my spin off project My Utmost for His Highest Quiet Prayers
In November 1917, Scottish Bible teacher and evangelist Oswald Chambers died while serving as chaplain to British troops in Egypt. Ten years after his death, his wife Gertrude compiled her notes of his sermons into one of the most influential devotionals of all time: My Utmost for His Highest. Chambers revered the Scripture. “God never fits His word to suit me;” he wrote, “He fits me to suit His word.” But he also understood the kind of book the Bible was. Not something only to be looked at, but to be looked through. He once responded to a friend, who said he only read the Bible that, When people refer to a man as “a man of the book,” meaning the Bible, he is generally found to be a man of multitudinous books, which simply isolates the one Book to its proper grandeur. The man who reads only the Bible does not, as a rule, know it or human life.
What do you do without having to think about it? That is, what sort of behaviors, responses, habits, thoughts, or words flow naturally in and through your life without you having to consciously consider them? The way we answer that question leads us straight down into a foundational part of our humanity: our character. It's the thing we don't have to decide about because it's already formed within us. It's the identity that ignites the rest of who we are and how we live. Character is, as the Greek philosopher Heraclites once put it, our fate: the person we ultimately become, through the joys and griefs of our lives, always begins and ends with the forging of our inner beings. The scriptures, and Jesus Himself, have always articulated this to us, writing of a God who “looks on the heart” (1 Samuel 16:7) who writes the goodness of His law onto the hearts of His people (Jeremiah 31:33), and who proclaimed the message that one must become “born again” (John 3:3) and “transformed by the renewing of their minds” (Romans 12:1-3). In a world where it seems brokenness, evil, injustice, and pride rule, the scriptures remind us that the way forward is not more productive people, or more politically powerful people, but more deep people, shaped by the way and work of God. And we find one of the principal case studies for this truth in the book of 1 Samuel in our bibles, where we are presented with rich and complex characters from the story of Israel that are meant to create pause and reflection in our own lives on how we can become people of character today. Join us this Fall as we explore eleven central components to a life of character with God revealed to us through the vibrant stories of Hannah, Samuel, Saul, Jonathan, and David, and how these components can make us transformed people in a world desperately longing for leaders and people of character.

Hey Sister! Whether you're living in a waiting time, waiting for answers – about what God wants you to do in this season or for how to deal with a certain relationship or dilemma you're facing – or whether you're living through a sudden something that came out of nowhere and has pulled the rug out from under you…the question rises up again and again inside us – how can I live with faith when I don't know what God is doing? Sure, we've got the big picture – we know God promises to work all things for good in the lives of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose (Romans 8:28). But so many times life is like when I went to the big box store, saw a bookcase that I wanted, and bought it. But you know how this works, you don't get the bookcase you see in the store. No, you bring the bookcase home in a box, and you have to put it together! I could see the picture of the bookcase on the box cover – but when I opened the box, there was no instruction sheet for what to do with all the little pieces all in those little baggies! Just sayin' -- my life of faith can seem a lot like that sometimes. So, today we're talking about going out in faith when you don't know where you're going. When you don't know where God is leading you or you can't see God's plan. The story of Abraham gives us some great insights into the "how to" of walking in faith when you're in the messy middle, so if you're feeling a bit like I did with my DIY project and no instruction sheet, I believe this episode will bless you! Joy to you!

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Tuesday morning, it is the 8th of November 2022 and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today.“…and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.”Romans 3:26He is the Justifier! “The just shall live by faith.”Romans 1:17“So where is the boasting then?” says Paul to the Romans. You see, we can't earn it, we can't work for it, it's for free. Jesus is the Justifier. He has done it all. You can only believe it by faith. He has done it all. We must stop striving. As I am talking to you this morning, many people are trying to earn their way to Heaven. We can't do that. We have just got to believe it and receive it. That's right!A Scottish preacher by the name of Oswald Chambers, went to Egypt with his young wife and his baby daughter, during the time of the First World War in 1914. She was a stenographer by trade. She worked in the courts in Britain and as the court case took place, she would accurately write down every word that the judge, prosecutor and the defence would say. Now Chambers preached to the soldiers in the desert, in the First World War. His wife, who he called “Biddy”, took down every word that he preached. Very sadly at the age of 43 years old, Chambers got appendicitis. He went to the hospital and died. She was very, very shattered and eventually went back to Britain with her little daughter, but she had compiled every single sermon that he had ever preached. She sat down and constructed a daily reading book, a devotional. It is probably the giant of all devotionals. It is called, “My Utmost For His Highest.” You know, I have written quite a few devotionals myself but I am just a beginner when I look at this book. Do you know that that humble woman never took any of the honours? Right in the corner of the book, she put a little “BC”. Those were her initials, Biddy Chambers. Why? Because God did it all. Don't strive today, don't try so hard. Let Jesus do it and you will be surprised what He will do through your life.Have a wonderful day.Jesus bless you and goodbye.

What are you worth? Do you ever think about your net worth? It's something that I've thought about before. Hey, I'm Mike Henry with Follower of One. Thanks for coming back to the Follower of One podcast. Today I want to talk a little bit about net worth and our possessions and I'm reading from Luke 12:15 in the New American Standard Bible. "Then he said to them, "Beware, and be on your guard against every form of greed; for not even when one has an abundance does his life consist of his possessions." Our life does not equate to our possessions. I pick up some of these verses from My Utmost For His Highest because it's something that I read on a regular basis. And I really appreciate that devotional. Our stuff tempts us and separates us from God. It does no matter what. We're not good enough to manage our stuff well. "Beware and be on your guard against every form of greed." When we start thinking that our stuff is even ours, it creates a problem for us. Money is tempting. It tempts us to compare. We're tempted to believe that it will solve our problems and help us achieve our goals. If our goal is the vision God put in us, then let God accomplish his own goals. Our stuff is part of the resources. It's like we were building our own warehouse and our own storehouse of things, and God came and took all that over when he said we were bought with a price. Christ died on the cross to pay for us. But he also then wants us to use our stuff for his glory. If our vision has been given to us by him, let's put our stuff to work for him. And if our vision hasn't been given to us by God, then we can expect God's agenda to run opposite our own. And we'll be frustrated and disappointed from time to time. Beware because every form of greed looks like something that takes us away from God. It's my own desire to use my stuff, my way. That's a form of greed. That's one that I run into the most. I think I have this problem on a regular basis and I wonder often how to deal with it. And today I want to challenge us. Let's ask God how he wants us to use the stuff that he has given us. Every day, we need to remind ourselves that the stuff that we have was given to us by him. It will all be gone one day. But we won't. We'll still be around. We'll be with God wherever he is, and we'll be able to bask in our relationship with him. Our stuff won't have been an obstacle. Today. I want to encourage us to fight against this temptation by giving something away. As usual. I'm talking to myself, trying to tell myself I need to let go of the things that I have. I often see my own energy and my own resources as the answer to every problem. But if the vision is from God, then I want to let God solve the problems. I want to be patient and wait for him. Listen for him to tell me what to do, and then act. Today, if God gives you action, do it. If he challenges you to give away some money or if he reminds you that there's something that you need to do today, he's been bugging you about it for a while, let's do it. Let's figure out a way to do what he has for us to do today. Today, ask God, what do you want me to do with my stuff? And then give it away. Because even when we have an abundance, our life does not consist of our possessions. Thanks for being a marketplace minister. Thank you for giving God your life and your stuff to use for his goals and his objectives. Let's punch in today. "Here I am God!" And let him put us to work so that we can see his glory in the lives of the people that we work with. Also, please share this podcast with a friend. And check out the Marketplace Mission Trip.

How is our drive for success hindering our walk with God? How is it changing the way we do everyday life? The word "SUCCESS" can be very deceiving, and I have often found a sour filter on how I approach everyday life and, most importantly, in my walk with God. In this podcast, I dive into My Utmost For His Highest by Oswald Chambers and unpack his devotional about this subject.
Oswald Chambers once wrote in the classic My Utmost For His Highest, "Beware of making a fetish of consistency to your convictions instead of being devoted to God." Visit us at www.firstcause.org --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/reveration/support
FamilyLife Today® Radio Transcript References to conferences, resources, or other special promotions may be obsolete. Creating A More Romantic MarriageDay 1 of 8Guest: Dennis RaineyFrom the series: Why Romance is Important _______________________________________________________________ (Nat King Cole singing "L-O-V-E") Bob: Believe it or not, this is FamilyLife Today. Our host is best-selling author and conference speaker, Dennis Rainey. I'm Bob Lepine. Stay with us as we talk about L-O-V-E today on FamilyLife Today. And welcome to FamilyLife Today. Thanks for joining us on the broadcast. Dennis: Do you think our listeners know who Nat King Cole is, Bob? Bob: Oh, yeah, everybody knows who Nat King Cole is. I bought a two-record collection when I was in college, just because I thought, "He's got the smoothest voice, it's the most romantic music I've ever heard." Dennis: Well, you know, we also have a lot of romantic adventures at our FamilyLife Marriage Conference, and I've got a letter here from a conferee couple who attended the Phoenix FamilyLife Marriage Conference – I think this was back in 1991. This is a classic, keeper letter from the archives of the thousands of attendees who have been to our conference. Bob: Now, this is on hotel stationery, right? Dennis: That's right – the Hyatt Regency Scottsdale. "Dear Dennis, when you suggested last night for us to be more creative in our romance, you never gave us the warning that it could be dangerous." Then in all capital letters, it reads, "RULE NUMBER 1 – ALWAYS BE PREPARED! AT LEAST WITH A SPARE KEY" – and now the rest of the story. "After dinner and the sunset, we decided to take your advice and to add a little romance and be a little daring. Staying here at the hotel, we crept out onto our fourth-floor balcony for an incredibly romantic view, not to mention some privacy. Unbeknown to us, while we were 'communicating' and 'learning more about each other,' the maid was inside our bedroom, turning down our bedsheets for us. She did not know we were on the balcony. We did not know she was in the room. Maybe you can guess the rest. She locked the sliding glass door." It is signed, "Two lovers, romantic sky, and lots of privacy. Embarrassed from California." Bob: So you have no idea how they ever got back in, huh? Dennis: Your mind is only left to wonder – how did they get back in, there on the fourth floor of the hotel? Bob: Well, that is a part of what we hope will be a romantic evening for couples at the FamilyLife Marriage Conference, but we hope that's not the end of romantic evenings for couples. Dennis: Well, we really talk about FamilyLife Marriage Conference, taking Saturday and making it an adventure. That's not the kind of adventure we're talking about. We are talking about adding romance to your relationship, and I think at our conferences across the United States, that's what a lot of couples really seen infused back into their marriage relationship through all the teachings of scripture that build intimacy in their marriage relationship, they better understand how to relate to each other as husband and wife, and what I wanted to do, Bob, was I wanted to take the next few days, prior to Valentine's Day, and I wanted us to talk about the all-important subject of romance. Bob: Now, you call it an all-important subject. You kind of get the feel that romance is something that's a part of the courtship process. After marriage, romance just doesn't seem like it has the same, you know – Dennis: – sizzle. Bob: Yeah, yeah. Dennis: Yeah, that's right. Well, let me just read something from Song of Solomon, okay? Song of Solomon, chapter 1, verse 2 – "May he kiss me with the kisses of his mouth, for your love is better than wine; your oils have a pleasing fragrance; your name is like purified oil; therefore, the maidens love you. Draw me after you." Now, here's the Shulamite woman who is attracted to Solomon. She is wanting her husband as the bride, and, you know, it's interesting that our God devoted an entire book of the 66 books that are in the inspired Word of God to this subject of romantic love, and one of the reasons why I wanted to talk about this is I think Christians are afraid of the subject, Bob. I think we're afraid to address this whole area of romantic love in marriage even though our God thought it all up in the first place. Bob: Some people have suggested that Song of Solomon is a parable showing us God's love for Israel or Jesus' love for His church. You're saying that God put it in the Bible to talk about the romantic relationship between a husband and wife? Dennis: I wonder about the people who say that – if they really read the verses, because they've got to do away with a lot of physical imagery that doesn't leave that much to the imagination. I mean, it's clear they're talking about the whole area of romantic and sexual love in a marriage relationship. Bob: Is romance really important for a marriage? I mean, can't a marriage survive just fine for 30 or 40 years and not have a whole lot of sizzle and spark to it? Dennis: Well, I think marriages can survive, I think that's a key word, but will they be what God intended? I say not. One of the things that happens in a marriage relationship is if we don't have romance, something that adds excitement and adventure, intrigue, thrill, I think we get caught up in the negative about our spouse, and when you begin to focus on the negative and the faults of the other person, that relationship begins to spiral downward. And one of the reasons why I think Valentine's is such an important time of the year, especially for the Christian marriages, is to remind us that we ought to be making this subject of romance a part of our everyday diet in our marriage relationship. The Bible speaks about, over in Proverbs, chapter 5, verse 15 and then 18 through 19, that a man was to be captured by his wife's sexual powers. He was to be captivated by his wife. That's a powerful image to be literally captured by your spouse. The Bible is talking about this as far as thrill, excitement, adventure, an emotional excitement that I think sets a marriage apart from just a pure friendship. I mean, Barbara is my friend, but there is a side of our friendship that goes way beyond just two friends who are pals to two people who, yes, share a marriage bed together and who dream thoughts and share intimacies that are shared with nobody else on this planet, and that's what God intended, I believe, in the marriage relationship. Bob: Well, now, you've got 50 percent of your audience listening to you, goin', "Preach it, Brother Rainey. Yes, amen." Dennis: And what sex might they be? Bob: Well, some of 'em are women who are saying, "Yes, talk to my husband and teach him how to be more romantic with me," and others are men saying, "Yes, talk to my wife." It's interesting that opposites attract in this area. Dennis: Well, you know, therein lies a real problem in discussing this, because I'll just let our listeners in on some research we did out of our FamilyLife Marriage Conference. We researched over 800 of our conferees at three different FamilyLife Marriage Conferences last spring about how they viewed romance, and, I've got to tell you, men and women view it through a different set of eyes. A woman looks at romance through the eyes of intimacy, relationship, warmth. It's that connectedness of the soul and emotions, heart-to-heart. And the men looked at romance – well, how shall we say it? It was one word – sex. And you see what God is up to here, because he made us different. We are to depend upon each other, and in the process of being different, I think what God wants to do is cause both of us to love each other where we are. You see what God is up to here, is I think God is wanting to knock the edges off of me, as a man, and our male listeners, learning how to love their wives in a way that communicates love so that she feels love – not how we feel about love or what communicates love to us as men but instead learning to put on the side of love that meets a wife at that relational point of need, and there are a lot of men today who I think are frustrated sexually in their marriage relationships, primarily – listen carefully – primarily because they still have not learned how to meet their wives' emotional needs so she can be released to meet her husband's needs. Bob: Mm-hm. I've had Mary Ann from time to time say to me, "I just don't feel like we've had an opportunity to talk with one another over the last two or three days," and for a wife that is a sign of drift in the marriage relationship, isn't it? Dennis: Yeah, and I've had that same conversation with Barbara as well. I think the reason God gave us romance is He gave us a mysterious emotional love that we were to experience together as a couple. Even Webster's definition of romance, which talks about excitement, love, adventure – all those words, I think, are a part of what marriage ought to be – Christian marriage. Our God designed these emotions. I think romance – romantic love – is a part of the character of God. May I quote a Christian statesman? One of the most godly men who has ever lived who wrote a book, "My Utmost For His Highest." It's been on the best-seller list for years – Oswald Chambers. Listen to what he said about passion in Christian marriage. "Human nature, if it is healthy, demands excitement, and if it does not obtain its thrilling excitement in the right way, it will seek it in the wrong. God never made bloodless stoics. He makes passionate saints." I love that quote, because I think that's the picture of a God who loves his people and who wired us to have excitement and thrill and adventure. It's not just for the single people who are involved in courtship, or just for the newly married couple who are just starting out with the high-intensity, high-octane of fresh married love. No, that romantic love, I believe, was meant to still pull us along and sweep us along in a steady current all the way through our married life. Bob: And yet it's become almost a cliché, Dennis, to talk about the honeymoon being over. It does seem that relationships go through some kind of stages. Dennis: Well, at our FamilyLife Marriage Conference, we talk about there being five phases of marriage deterioration. In other words, every marriage goes through some predictable phases where it begins to lose steam, and reality begins to set in. The first phase is what we call the "romance phase," and that's usually dating, honeymoon – it's when we're spending hours to get ready for a date, hours to plan the date. Each person sees each other at their very best, but it's not a real picture of a real relationship. This phase gives way to Phase 2, which we call the "transition phase," and this is honeymoon or early marriage, and I like to say at this phase – this is where reality begins to edit the illusion. The illusion of what we thought was a relationship is now being snipped away at by the cold, hard realities of life, and couples begin to make adjustments to each other in their values, their habits, their expectations, and can give way to criticism and snipping at each other, and the feelings begin to lower during this period of time. Well, Phase 2 gives way to Phase 3, which is the full-blown reality phase and, frankly, this is where marriages are either won or lost. Some of the things that press in against us during this reality phase – moving – a lot of couples move after they get married; differing friends; job changes and stress; conflicting material values – they start seeing how they handle the checkbook; children come along, there's parenting pressures; in-law interference; difficulties; health issues; problems in life – all of these things press in against the relationship and now the illusion has been fully edited. Bob: And they begin to put a little chill on the romantic side of marriage, don't they? Dennis: Well, romance is replaced by disappointment and discouragement, and when that begins to fuel the relationship, two people who had turned toward each other in the dating years now can turn against each other, and that really leads us to the fourth phase, the "retaliation phase," and that's where emotional and even physical retaliation becomes an alternative, and it's unthinkable that a couple who had held hands would now cut away at the person they said they wanted to spend the rest of their lives with. Resentment and bitterness begin to take up residence where romance had once been. A man begins to sell his life out to his job, because that's where he gets rewards; women to likewise, or she sells her life out to her children, and what begins to happen here is marriage is viewed with despair – no longer expectancy, excitement or thrill. You don't look forward to getting home in the evening and spending the evening together or the weekends together. You find a way to allow that relationship to be crowded out. And that really gives way to the last phase, Phase 5 – that's the "rejection phase," and that's the death of a relationship in which there are really two alternatives – one which is legal divorce, where two people separate and go their own ways or, really, where most relationships end up dying, and that is emotional divorce, where two people just simply withdraw from each other, and there's a truce. Bob: It seems like in the early phases that you describe, Dennis, romance is easy. In the last two phases, it's almost impossible, because of the anger or the bitterness or the other things that have begun to take root. It's really in that middle phase, the reality phase, where, as you said, the battle for romance is won or lost. Dennis: You know, that's where we've got to win the battle, is before you ever get to this time of resentment and retaliation and rejection, where you're at the tail-end of the relationship, and you've got to breathe so much life back into the marriage it almost seems hopeless. But you know what? I want to go back to that reality phase, because that's where all of us live. We've all got to learn, in the midst of the time pressures with kids and finances and jobs and health issues – how do we hammer out a Christian life? You know, I've given the better part of two decades here at FamilyLife dedicating myself and this ministry to writing books like, "Staying Close," to helping couples deal with the reality phase, or "Building Your Mate's Self-Esteem," another book where we talked about how you can build up the other person so you don't ever get to the point where you're rejecting your spouse; or the FamilyLife Marriage Conference, which is a weekend to help couples go back to that reality phase, and give them a biblical game plan for how they can move through reality and move on to blessing, where their relationship and love for one another matures and grows, and I think that's exactly what God wants to do, as He instructs us to the scripture. He is moving us to mature love, commitment, and it's nothing that's not spoken enough about today, and we're going to be talking about it a lot here in the coming days. Bob: Well, Dennis, some of our listeners are thinkin', "The last thing on my mind is romance at this point. We've moved into Phases 4 or 5 – retaliation or rejection, and the anger and the bitterness that is a part of this – I can't even think about romance. Is this series going to apply to me?" Dennis: I think it will, and we're going to be sensitive to those couples who are finding themselves in unequally yoked marriages where a person is married to someone who is not a believer or someone who is not growing spiritually. Perhaps Psalm 27, verse 13 would bring some hope – "I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord, be strong, and let your heart take courage. Yes, wait for the Lord." And I think there's a time to wait in prayer, but there may be some things that a person can do in that situation, where you're married to a spouse who is totally apathetic about that relationship, and if you're in that situation, could I encourage you to, yes, do pray, and do ask God to deliver you from despair and begin to give you the courage that only He can give you to build into that marriage and perhaps by adding romance back into that relationship, perhaps that will be the missing ingredient to help your spouse come to faith in Jesus Christ. Let me just conclude our broadcast today with some action points that can help you be a better romantic lover of your spouse. First of all, take a romantic inventory of your relationship. On a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being excellent, how would you rate romance as a part of your marriage relationship? Tonight ask your spouse to do that and then compare notes and see how you're doing. Secondly, and this comes from the questions book. You shared about how listeners could get a copy of that – from the questions book, I like to ask Barbara this question all the time, because it really does spark romance in our relationship, and it sounds odd, but I ask her this question – What are the three most romantic times that we've shared together? What brought those sparks originally? What's caused romance? Why would you select that? And there's something about reliving those romantic moments that I think gives us insight into why our spouse chose that and can also add that excitement back to our relationship today. A third application point would be to pray and ask God to help you begin courting your spouse. You know, there are some listeners who are in a hurting marriage, where that's where they need to start right there – is in prayer asking God to give them some hope, to begin to court their spouse once again. Bob: Well, let me add a fourth, and that's to join us back here tomorrow at this same time, when we're going to talk about the "romance robbers" in a relationship – the foxes in the vineyard, right? Dennis: That's right. Bob: That's on tomorrow's edition of FamilyLife Today. I hope you can join us for that. Our engineer is Mark Whitlock, our host is Dennis Rainey, and I'm Bob Lepine. We'll see you tomorrow for another edition of FamilyLife Today.

“Very few of us have any understanding of the reason why Jesus Christ died. If sympathy is all that human beings need, then the Cross of Christ is a farce, there was no need for it.

Today, Friday October 30 - If I had to choose two words from the Bible that best sum up the key to understanding and experiencing the reality of God and are so necessary to live out our Christian life, I would choose "grace and faith." Everything begins with God's grace! "For by grace are you saved through faith..." (Ephesians 2:8) Grace has been described as "God's unmerited favor". It is that for sure, but much more! Biblical grace is God giving us everything we need, the desire, the will, the power, the ability, and the strength to live out by faith the life that pleases God, and brings the greatest satisfaction to us. God's grace is only given to us when we humble ourselves and recognize we are helplessly and hopelessly lost and totally unable to do anything to save ourselves or to please God and meet His standards of righteousness and holiness! "God resist the proud, but gives grace to the humble." (James 4:6) Today's devotion in "My Utmost For His Highest" by Oswald Chambers best describes how this grace is found in the person and reality of Jesus Christ. (Please take time to read it today.) He sums it up with these words, "Faith is the whole man rightly related to God by the power of the Spirit of Jesus Christ." God bless and have a great day!

Oswald Chambers (24 July 1874 – 15 November 1917) was a Scottish evangelist and teacher, best known for the devotional book, My Utmost for His Highest. Chambers was stricken with appendicitis on 17 October 1917 while in Egypt serving as a chaplain amongst soldiers during World War 1. He resisted going to a hospital on the grounds that the beds would be needed by wounded men. On 29 October, a surgeon performed an emergency appendectomy, but Chambers died two weeks later. He was buried in Cairo with full military honours though only a YMCA Chaplain.For the remainder of her life—and at first under very straitened circumstances—Chambers' widow, Biddy, transcribed and published books and articles edited from the notes she had taken in shorthand during the Bible College years in London and at Zeitoun in Egypt. Most successful of the thirty books was My Utmost for His Highest (1924), a daily devotional composed of 365 selections of Chamber's talks, each of about 500 words. The work has never been out of print and has been translated into 39 languages.Recorded November 24, 2019
Oswald Chambers was a preacher who lived during World War 1. He died of a botched surgery in Egypt but before he did, he preached many sermons that were copied down by his wife. His wife took these and turned these into devotionals, the most famous of which is, "My Utmost For His Highest." In this sermon we look at where our identity should be in this world. God is the only one who we should put our identity in. When we surrender our identity to Christ we become what we are actually meant to be.

Step into the Unknown podcast are short devotions on random topics about faith. Each podcast is less than 10 minutes long.In this episode I was reflecting on this statement from the reading at my quiet time; "Trust entirely in God and when he brings you to the adventure see that you take it." It’s a statement by Oswald Chambers in My Utmost For His Highest, from the May 30th devotional thought.
Your parents, your children, your job, your bae. We give priority to so much, but so often forget to put God first.

A century ago in sermons and speeches that would become My Utmost For His Highest, the current sad state of Christianity was described aptly with the question, "Are you loyal to Jesus or to your notion of him?" by Oswald Chambers. We see the problem when Christians openly dispute the things Jesus said, or when popular versions of Bible stories don't match the "inspired word of God" and those obsessed with Biblical perfection fail to side with the inerrant text. Chambers might say that we are guilty of siding with what we believe without much regard for God's will. If this is true of individuals, it is certainly true of organizations and groups -- no matter how we may defer to their "religious beliefs." Different Drummer: Oswald & Gertrude Chambers
