More quotes by 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
Convictions are a matter of choice, not force.
Charles R. Swindoll
When you accept the fact that sometimes seasons are dry and times are hard and that God is in control of both, you will discover a sense of divine refuge, because the hope then is in God and not in yourself.
Charles R. Swindoll
If you want to be a person with a large vision, you must cultivate the habit of doing the little things well.
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
When you have vision it affects your attitude. Your attitude is optimistic rather than pessimistic.
Charles R. Swindoll
Our minds can be kept free of anxiety as we dump the load of our cares on the Lord in prayer.
Charles R. Swindoll
Attitude keeps me going or cripples my progress. It alone fuels my fire or assaults my hopes. When my attitudes are right, there is no barrier too high, no valley too deep, no dream too extreme, no challenge too great for me.
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
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
God's forgiveness extends to the worst offenders and to anyone who wishes to receive it-not because of who we are, but because of who He is.
Charles R. Swindoll
If we want the advantages of love, then we must be willing to take the risks of love. And that requires vulnerability. Of course, we can refuse this path and trod another one devoid of openness. But the toll on such a road is extremely high.
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
The past is over... forget it. The future holds hope... reach for it.
Charles R. Swindoll
When you are giving people the gospel, you are giving them something to believe, and you have to set the stage for that. You don't just drive up and dump the truck and drive off.
Charles R. Swindoll
If you are going to achieve excellence in big things, you develop the habit in little matters.
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
When I think of vision, I have in mind the ability to see above and beyond the majority.
Charles R. Swindoll
To be used of God. Is there anything more encouraging, more fulfilling? Perhaps not, but there is something more basic: to meet with God. To linger in His presence, to shut out the noise of the city and, in quietness, give Him the praise He deserves. Before we engage ourselves in His work, let's meet Him in His Word... in prayer... in worship.
Charles R. Swindoll
Worry is characteristic of the heathen, not the Christian.
