More quotes by Charles R. Swindoll
Allowing anger to seethe on the back burner will lead to a very large lid blowing off a very hot pot.
Charles R. Swindoll
We can't solve modern problems by going back in time. Retreating to the safety of the familiar is an understandable response, but God has called us to a life of faith. And faith requires us to face the unknown while trusting Him completely.
Charles R. Swindoll
It takes faith to find personal significance in your relationship with God rather than how much money you earn, how beautiful you look, how many toys you own, how many trophies you collect, or how much territory you conquer and control.
Charles R. Swindoll
Allow me to offer a simple definition of wisdom. Wisdom is looking at life from God's point of view.
Charles R. Swindoll
My order of priorities reflects the level of my commitment to Christ. Whoever or whatever is in first place, if it isn't the Lord Jesus, is in the wrong place.
Charles R. Swindoll
Prejudice is a learned trait. You're not born prejudiced you're taught it.
Charles R. Swindoll
If you want to be a person with a large vision, you must cultivate the habit of doing the little things well.
Charles R. Swindoll
Give us an intense distaste for things that displease You and a renewed pleasure in things that bring You honor and magnify Your truth.
Charles R. Swindoll
GRACE: All you can do is take it.
Charles R. Swindoll
The pursuit of happiness is a matter of choice...it is a positive attitude we choose to express. It is not a gift delivered to our door each morning, nor does it come through the window. And it is certain that our circumstances are not the things that make us joyful. If we wait for them to get just right, we will never laugh again.
Charles R. Swindoll
Each day of our lives we make deposits in the memory banks of our children.
Charles R. Swindoll
A story without context is like a diamond without a mounting. The stone may be beautiful lying loose on a table, but when it is carefully mounted in the right setting it can dazzle you with its brilliance and sparkling beauty.
Charles R. Swindoll
I let people see the cracks in my life. We can't be phony. We've got to keep it real.
Charles R. Swindoll
The Promised Land was a tangible representation of God's ultimate desire for His people, but they failed to comprehend His gift for at least three reasons: It was unconditionally promised, it was outrageously generous, and it was absolutely free. None of those make sense in the world as we know it.
Charles R. Swindoll
Adversity is a good test of our resiliency, our ability to cope, to stand back up, to recover from misfortune. Adversity is a painful pedagogue.
Charles R. Swindoll
You know one of the most encouraging things about faith? It pleases God.
Charles R. Swindoll
Authentic men aren't afraid to show affection, release their feelings, hug their children, cry when they're sad, admit it when they're wrong, and ask for help when they need it.
Charles R. Swindoll
Christlikeness is a journey, not a destination. The joy is in the journey.
Charles R. Swindoll
Go God's way! His is the most reliable route to follow when life gets complicated. It will have its tough moments, but you will never regret it.
Charles R. Swindoll
God will never adjust His agenda to fit ours. He will not speed up His pace to catch up with ours we need to slow our pace in order to recover our walk with Him. God will not scream and shout over the noisy clamor He expects us to seek quietness, where His still small voice can be heard again.
