More quotes by Charles R. Swindoll
Jesus has prepared the way and has made following our destiny possible, whereas we are helpless by ourselves. We can find and fulfill our purpose by responding to the clear, simple call of Jesus Christ: Follow Me. He is the doorway to fulfilling our destiny, where our divine design and God-ordained purpose live in perfect harmony.
Charles R. Swindoll
At least one indication of unbelief is the tendency to measure life's challenges against our own adequacy instead of God's promises. To enter our Sabbath rest, we must put an end to self-reliance - trusting in our own abilities to overcome difficulties, rise above challenges, escape tragedies, or achieve personal greatness.

'We really shouldn't look like a church.' I've heard that so much I want to vomit. 'Why?' I ask. 'Do you want your bank to look like a bank? Do you want your doctor's office to look like a doctor's office, or would you prefer your doctor to dress like a clown?'
Charles R. Swindoll
When it seems like that's all there is, remember all you have in Him.
Charles R. Swindoll
This tendency to avoid problems and the emotional suffering inherent in them is the primary basis of all human mental illness
Charles R. Swindoll
Worry is a complete waste of energy. It solves nothing.
Charles R. Swindoll
...the single most important issue in all of life (is) your relationship with the living God... how you can know Him in a personal and meaningful way.
Charles R. Swindoll
Stand still... and refuse to retreat. Look at it as God looks at it and draw upon His power to hold up under the blast.
Charles R. Swindoll
Each day of our lives we make deposits in the memory banks of our children.
Charles R. Swindoll
The swift wind of compromise is a lot more devastating than the sudden jolt of misfortune.
Charles R. Swindoll
Every one of us can blame somebody for something that has happened in our lives. But don't waste your time. What we need most is a steady stream of love flowing among us. Love that quickly forgives, willingly overlooks, and refuses to take offense.
Charles R. Swindoll
Sometimes people can't see past us to hear our message. We never have a second chance to leave a first impression.
Charles R. Swindoll
People who inspire others are those who see invisible bridges at the end of dead-end streets
Charles R. Swindoll
Think first. Talk less. Start today.
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
Things will happen that seem to be totally contradictory, but these are God's arrangements. It was a wonderful day when I finally realized I don't have to explained or defend the will of God. My job is simply to obey it.
Charles R. Swindoll
An anniversary says, Think of the dreams you have weathered together. They are intimate accomplishments.
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
Acceptance is taking from God's hand absolutely anything He gives, looking into His face in trust and thanksgiving.
Charles R. Swindoll
People who soar are those who refuse to sit back, sigh and wish things would change. They neither complain of their lot nor passively dream of some distant ship coming in. Rather, they visualize in their minds that they are not quitters they will not allow life's circumstances to push them down and hold them under.
