More quotes by 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
And when God steps in, His working is like the difference between a skyscraper and a star.
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
God has not only created each of us as distinct individuals, He also uses us in significant ways.
Charles R. Swindoll

Charles R. Swindoll
'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
There is plenty of television. There are plenty of talk shows. There are plenty of comedians. But there is not plenty of worship of the true and living God.
Charles R. Swindoll
If the pace and the push, the noise and the crowds are getting to you, it's time to stop the nonsense and find a place of solace to refresh your spirit
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
Vision is the ability to see God’s presence, to perceive God’s power, to focus on God’s plan in spite of the obstacles.
Charles R. Swindoll
It is often just as sacred to laugh as it is to pray.
Charles R. Swindoll
If I ever wrote a book on preaching, it would contain three words: Preach the Word. Get rid of all the other stuff that gets you sidetracked preach the Word.

You know one of the most encouraging things about faith? It pleases God.
