More quotes by Charles R. Swindoll
The crisis of physical hunger is essentially a crisis of faith. What or whom will you trust to meet your most basic needs? Will you trust the God who made human bodies, or will you seek your own way? (Deuteronomy 8:1-3)
Charles R. Swindoll
Home is the bottom line of life, the anvil upon which attitudes and convictions are hammered out the single most influential force in our earthly existence. No price tag can adequately reflect its value.
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
God has not only created each of us as distinct individuals, He also uses us in significant ways.
Charles R. Swindoll
No one is immune to temptation. Not even a hero. Not even a nobody. Not even people like you and me. Lust is never very far away. And just when you least expect it, there it is again.

Charles R. Swindoll
When you have vision it affects your attitude. Your attitude is optimistic rather than pessimistic.
Charles R. Swindoll
God has somehow placed into Christian's insides a special something, that extra inner reservoir of power that is more than a match for the stuff life throws at us.
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
Vision encompasses vast vistas outside the realm of the predictable, the safe, the expected.
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
Thanksgiving is a time of quiet reflection an annual reminder that God has, again, been ever so faithful. The solid and simple things of life are brought into clear focus.
Charles R. Swindoll
It's the nature of the beast within us to keep going back to the familiar rather than to strap on faith and face the future.
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
Any idol, regardless of its beauty or usefulness or original purpose, is to be set aside so that Christ might reign supreme, without a single competitor.
Charles R. Swindoll
No marriage is too dead for the Lord to restore.
Charles R. Swindoll
Like sin itself, Satan appeals to the senses. He originated and perfected the art of disguising evil as good.
