More quotes by Charles R. Swindoll
When the Lord makes it clear you're to follow Him in this new direction, focus fully on Him and refuse to be distracted by comparisons with others.
Charles R. Swindoll
Convictions are a matter of choice, not force.
Charles R. Swindoll
The secret to responsible trust is acceptance. Acceptance is taking from God's hand absolutely anything He gives, looking into His face in trust and thanksgiving, knowing that the confinement of the hedge we're in is good and for His glory. Even though what we're enduring may be painful, it's good simply because God Himself has allowed it.
Charles R. Swindoll
Our minds can be kept free of anxiety as we dump the load of our cares on the Lord in prayer.
Charles R. Swindoll
There is nothing more fearful for the average person in our society than to stand before a group of people and speak.
Charles R. Swindoll
Don't get older get better: Live realistically. Give generously. Adapt willingly. Trust fearlessly. Rejoice daily.
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
Please, put aside all excuses and ask yourself, What should I be doing? Yes, you alone can make a difference. The question is, will you?
Charles R. Swindoll
Rejoicing is clearly a spiritual command. To ignore it, I need to remind you, is disobedience.
Charles R. Swindoll
Do not lean on your own understanding. That means don't bring in the crutches and lean on them, those crutches that you have designed and made to handle such situations. Stay away from them. Don't lean on them lean on God.
Charles R. Swindoll
Christlikeness is a journey, not a destination. The joy is in the journey.
Charles R. Swindoll
If God awarded us medals, as they do in the Olympics, love would win the gold, joy the silver, and peace the bronze.
Charles R. Swindoll
Lead with action and let the feelings follow.
Charles R. Swindoll
If you allow it, [suffering] can be the means by which God brings you His greatest blessings.
Charles R. Swindoll
Fortunately Jesus didn't leave [the disciples]-or any of us-without hope or direction. Where we fail, Jesus succeeded. The only One who as able to recognize and follow His purpose from the beginning was Jesus. He alone was able to obey consistently and please God completely. And His divine mission was to make a way for each of us to do the same.
Charles R. Swindoll
The more impossible the situation, the greater God accomplishes His work.
Charles R. Swindoll
You and I are, by birth, by nature, and by choice, inwardly depraved, which is to say that we are entirely corrupt. That's not to say that we have no good in us we do. However, anything good in us has been tainted with evil. It touches everything. Without the redeeming power of Christ we cannot halt our own moral slide.
Charles R. Swindoll
It has come to the time where the most dangerous place to be in America is not the inner city, where gangs threaten innocent lives, or in angry prisons, where only the fit survive, but in the womb of a mother who is being told that if she doesn't really want the baby, an abortion is the solution.
Charles R. Swindoll
To require God to prove that He is able and willing to fulfill His promises would be proof positive that one does not trust Him.
Charles R. Swindoll
We shouldn't deny the pain of what happens in our lives. We should just refuse to focus only on the valleys.
Charles R. Swindoll
