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.

More quotes by Charles R. Swindoll
God never asked us to meet life's pressures and demands on our own terms or by relying upon our own strength. Nor did He demands that we win His favor by assembling an impressive portfolio of good deeds. Instead, He invites us to enter His rest.
Charles R. Swindoll
God has called His creation to find satisfaction in a personal relationship with Him, and stop trying to manage the world by conforming it to our expectations, and to allow Him to govern His creation. He continues to say through an ancient Hebrew worship song, Be still and know that I am God!
Charles R. Swindoll
That's what this thing called Christian life is all about, isn't it. Going . . . yet not knowing. As followers of our Lord we believe He leads us in a certain direction . . . or in pursuit of a precise goal.
Charles R. Swindoll
Anxious. Intriguing word. It literally means, to be divided or distracted. It conveys the idea of being so mentally ill at ease that you cannot do what you need to do because you are so distracted in your thinking.
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
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
Anyone who influences others is a leader.
Charles R. Swindoll
Worry is a complete waste of energy. It solves nothing.
Charles R. Swindoll
Rejoicing is clearly a spiritual command. To ignore it, I need to remind you, is disobedience.
Charles R. Swindoll
In place of our exhaustion and spiritual fatigue, God will give us rest. All He asks is that we come to Him...that we spend a while thinking about Him, meditating on Him, talking to Him, listening in silence, occupying ourselves with Him - totally and thoroughly lost in the hiding place of His presence.
Charles R. Swindoll
The lens of fear magnifies the size of uncertainty.
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
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
The pursuit of happiness is a matter of choice...it is a positive attitude we choose to express. It is not a gift delivered to our door each morning, nor does it come through the window. And it is certain that our circumstances are not the things that make us joyful. If we wait for them to get just right, we will never laugh again.
Charles R. Swindoll
The secret to responsible trust is acceptance. Acceptance is taking from God's hand absolutely anything He gives, looking into His face in trust and thanksgiving, knowing that the confinement of the hedge we're in is good and for His glory. Even though what we're enduring may be painful, it's good simply because God Himself has allowed it.
Charles R. Swindoll
Many seducers clutter the simple message of the gospel with legalistic additions, with convoluted attempts to legitimize moral compromise, and with psychological theories that turn churches into relational support groups instead of houses of worship.
Charles R. Swindoll
You will find a common dichotomy in life. Those who don't have vision or determination, and refuse to dream the impossible, are always in the majority.
Charles R. Swindoll
Don't get older get better: Live realistically. Give generously. Adapt willingly. Trust fearlessly. Rejoice daily.
Charles R. Swindoll
God never calls His people to accomplish anything without promising to supply their every need.
Charles R. Swindoll
We are in charge of our attitudes.
