More quotes by Charles R. Swindoll
It helps me if I remember that God is in charge of my day - not I.
Charles R. Swindoll
Our identity as Christians is strengthened as we stand in the lengthening shadows of saints down through the centuries, who have always answered back in antiphonal voice: 'He is risen, indeed!'
Charles R. Swindoll
Times may be hard and people may be demanding, but never forget that life is special. Every single day is a special day. God is at work in you!
Charles R. Swindoll
When we arrive at dilemmas in life and we are unable to decipher the right direction to go, if we hope to maintain our confidence in the process, we must (repeat must) allow the Lord to be our Guide, our Strength, our Wisdom - our all!
Charles R. Swindoll
God seems to reward us with good, delightful experiences when we move with joy through the less-than-delightful times.
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
Worry is assuming responsibilities that you cannot handle. They truth is, they are responsibilities that God never intended for you to handle, because they are His.
Charles R. Swindoll
Courage is not limited to the battlefield or the Indianapolis 500 or bravely catching a thief in your house. The real tests of courage are much quieter. They are the inner tests, like remaining faithful when nobody's looking, like enduring pain when the room is empty, like standing alone when you're misunderstood.
Charles R. Swindoll
For there to be true maturity, people must be given room to grow, which includes room to fail.
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
Jesus' plan called for action, and how He expressed it predicted its success. He didn't say you 'might' be my witnesses, or you 'could' be my witnesses, or even you 'should' be my witnesses. He said you 'WILL' be my witnesses.
Charles R. Swindoll
One essential ingredient for being an original in the day of copies is courageous vision.
Charles R. Swindoll
If I had my life to live over, I'd have spent more hours in worship.
Charles R. Swindoll
If you're running a 26-mile marathon, remember that every mile is run one step at a time. If you are writing a book, do it one page at a time. If you're trying to master a new language, try it one word at a time. There are 365 days in the average year. Divide any project by 365 and you'll find that no job is all that intimidating.
Charles R. Swindoll
We have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for the day. Life is 10% what happens to us and 90% how we react to it. Our attitude is everything.
Charles R. Swindoll
Oh, how horrible our sins look when they are committed by someone else.
Charles R. Swindoll
The skeptic may deny your doctrine or attack your church but he cannot honestly ignore the fact that your life has been changed.
Charles R. Swindoll
Worry is a complete waste of energy. It solves nothing.
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
A godly person is one who ceases to be self-centered in order to become God-centered.
