More quotes by Charles R. Swindoll
Another problem with worry is that it makes you forget your worth. Worry makes you feel worthless, forgotten, and unimportant.
Charles R. Swindoll
People who are close to God cultivate a personal intimacy with Him like a good gardener cultivates beautiful flowers.
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.

Worry is characteristic of the heathen, not the Christian.
Charles R. Swindoll
It is easy for Christians to have the false impression that once we have established a relationship with Christ, which we believe sets us right with God, the problems of life will somehow scoot away or they will slowly be removed from our lives.
Charles R. Swindoll
Our great tendency in this age is to increase our speed, to run faster, even in the Christian life. In the process our walk with God stays shallow, and our tank runs low on fumes. Intimacy offers a full tank of fuel that can only be found by pulling up closer to God, which requires taking necessary time and going to the effort to make that happen.
Charles R. Swindoll
The past is over... forget it. The future holds hope... reach for it.
Charles R. Swindoll

Charles R. Swindoll
If I ever wrote a book on preaching, it would contain three words: Preach the Word. Get rid of all the other stuff that gets you sidetracked preach the Word.
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
You know one of the most encouraging things about faith? It pleases God.
Charles R. Swindoll
People who soar, are those who refuse to sit back and wish things would change
Charles R. Swindoll
Prayer is an investment. The time you dedicate to prayer isn't lost it will return dividends far greater than what a few moments spent on a task ever could. If we fail to cultivate this discipline, prayer winds up being our last resort rather than our first response.
Charles R. Swindoll
It's easy to get attached to idols, good things inappropriately adored. But when you have Jesus in the centre of a room, everything else only junks up the decor.
Charles R. Swindoll
Grace is ours. Let's live it! Deny it or debate it and we kill it.
Charles R. Swindoll
When we panic, we instinctively turn to our own internal resources because we doubt Him.
Charles R. Swindoll
Our minds can be kept free of anxiety as we dump the load of our cares on the Lord in prayer.
