Disillusionment
By Oswald Chambers
July 30

Jesus did not commit Himself to them…, for He knew what was in man. —John 2:24-25

Disillusionment means having no more misconceptions, false impressions, and false judgments in life; it means being free from these deceptions. However, though no longer deceived, our experience of disillusionment may actually leave us cynical and overly critical in our judgment of others. But the disillusionment that comes from God brings us to the point where we see people as they really are, yet without any cynicism or any stinging and bitter criticism. Many of the things in life that inflict the greatest injury, grief, or pain, stem from the fact that we suffer from illusions. We are not true to one another as facts, seeing each other as we really are; we are only true to our misconceived ideas of one another. According to our thinking, everything is either delightful and good, or it is evil, malicious, and cowardly.

Refusing to be disillusioned is the cause of much of the suffering of human life. And this is how that suffering happens— if we love someone, but do not love God, we demand total perfection and righteousness from that person, and when we do not get it we become cruel and vindictive; yet we are demanding of a human being something which he or she cannot possibly give. There is only one Being who can completely satisfy to the absolute depth of the hurting human heart, and that is the Lord Jesus Christ. Our Lord is so obviously uncompromising with regard to every human relationship because He knows that every relationship that is not based on faithfulness to Himself will end in disaster. Our Lord trusted no one, and never placed His faith in people, yet He was never suspicious or bitter. Our Lord’s confidence in God, and in what God’s grace could do for anyone, was so perfect that He never despaired, never giving up hope for any person. If our trust is placed in human beings, we will end up despairing of everyone.

There is only one being who can satisfy the deepest aching abyss of the human heart, and that is our Lord Jesus Christ.

THE MIRACLE OF BELIEF
By Oswald Chambers
July 17

My speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom… —1 Corinthians 2:4

Paul was a scholar and an orator of the highest degree; he was not speaking here out of a deep sense of humility, but was saying that when he preached the gospel, he would veil the power of God if he impressed people with the excellency of his speech. Belief in Jesus is a miracle produced only by the effectiveness of redemption, not by impressive speech, nor by wooing and persuading, but only by the sheer unaided power of God. The creative power of redemption comes through the preaching of the gospel, but never because of the personality of the preacher.

Real and effective fasting by a preacher is not fasting from food, but fasting from eloquence, from impressive diction, and from everything else that might hinder the gospel of God being presented. The preacher is there as the representative of God— “…as though God were pleading through us…” (2 Corinthians 5:20). He is there to present the gospel of God. If it is only because of my preaching that people desire to be better, they will never get close to Jesus Christ. Anything that flatters me in my preaching of the gospel will result in making me a traitor to Jesus, and I prevent the creative power of His redemption from doing its work.

“And I, if I am lifted up…, will draw all peoples to Myself” (John 12:32).

Psalms 18-19; Acts 20:17-38

Wisdom from Oswald
Jesus Christ reveals, not an embarrassed God, not a confused God, not a God who stands apart from the problems, but One who stands in the thick of the whole thing with man.

1000000% TRUE!!!!!! And people have not taken Heed to it. Too many focused IN where it is comfortable and even those are tired of watered down Wordly, Feel Good, Ear Tickling Messages. God VERY CLEARLY tells us to FEED HIS SHEEP, BUT For Years The Shepherds have bee 'Feeding Themselves instead of taking care of God's Flock SO, God tells us EXACTLY What He IS doing and going to do because of this, See Ezekiel 33 & 34 and Revelation chapters 1-3! Smoke and Mirrors and Entertainment complexes Do Not impress HIM, Obedience and a Relationship Does!

🚨 New research reveals a “definitive failing”—a generation sitting in pews, yet drifting further from the truth of God’s Word.

According to findings highlighted by George Barna, many who identify as Christians no longer hold a biblical worldview, exposing a deep and growing spiritual crisis within the Church itself. This isn’t just a cultural shift—it’s a spiritual alarm.

For decades, faith has been quietly losing its influence, with fewer believers anchoring their lives in Scripture and more adopting beliefs shaped by the world rather than the Word.

This moment demands more than concern—it calls for awakening, repentance, and a return to sound doctrine before an entire generation is lost to confusion and compromise. More below ⬇️
