More quotes by 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
When I have a wrong attitude, I look at life humanly. When I have a right attitude, I look at life divinely.
Charles R. Swindoll
Vision encompasses vast vistas outside the realm of the predictable, the safe, the expected.
Charles R. Swindoll
Good listeners believe they can learn something from everyone.
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.
Charles R. Swindoll
When I think of vision, I have in mind the ability to see above and beyond the majority.
Charles R. Swindoll
Wisdom is looking at life from God's point of view. You look at life's difficulties and tests as God looks at them. You look at family life and child rearing as God looks at them. You interpret current events as God would interpret them. You see the truth even though all around you are deception and lies.
Charles R. Swindoll
I am a preacher. I'm involved in many other things, but, mainly, I preach. And I love it!
Charles R. Swindoll
Strength comes from choosing to fully trust, pray, and praise. Our circumstances may not change, but in the process we change.
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
It is often just as sacred to laugh as it is to pray.
Charles R. Swindoll
Rejoicing is clearly a spiritual command. To ignore it, I need to remind you, is disobedience.
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
While I was raised around churches and had gotten to know a few preachers fairly well, the thought never entered my head that I would one day stand and deliver. Not only was I not interested, I lived with a major struggle: I stuttered.
Charles R. Swindoll
Give us an intense distaste for things that displease You and a renewed pleasure in things that bring You honor and magnify Your truth.
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
Christlikeness is a journey, not a destination. The joy is in the journey.
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
Acceptance is taking from God's hand absolutely anything He gives, looking into His face in trust and thanksgiving.
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.
