Chambers gets it again

The Lord wants us, not our usefulness.

"Our tendency today is to put the emphasis on service. Beware of the people who make their request for help on the basis of someone’s usefulness. If you make usefulness the test, then Jesus Christ was the greatest failure who ever lived. For the saint, direction and guidance come from God Himself, not some measure of that saint’s usefulness. It is the work that God does through us that counts, not what we do for Him. All that our Lord gives His attention to in a person’s life is that person’s relationship with God— something of great value to His Father. Jesus is “bringing many sons to glory . . .” (Hebrews 2:10)."

Have a great day men.

  1. I should post on here more. I love the threads I see here. Also, whoever changed the background, I approve. Mike, I love this quote. Basing service on one's usefullness nullifies God's sovereignty. That's messed up. I love you guys.
