As God's children, we are not to be observers we're to participate actively in the Lord's work. Spectators sit and watch, but we are called to use our spiritual gifts and serve continually.

More quotes by Charles Stanley
God wants us to seek Him more than anything else, even more than we seek answers to prayer. When we come to God in prayer, sometimes our hearts are so full of what we want that we leave God out. Our minds become consumed with the gift rather than the giver.
Charles Stanley
Suffering prepares you by training you to trust God and know that He is always at work in your life.
Charles Stanley
People don't like the idea of consequences. They want to be able to live their life freely and do what they want to do without any consequences. And we know that's just not the way life is.
Charles Stanley
Stop for a minute and think about how you typically interact with God. If prayer time is dominated by your own talking, some adjustments may be in order. Just as the Lord spoke to David, God also has many things to say to you, if you'll simply let Him speak.
Charles Stanley
Helping someone come to a saving knowledge of Christ is the greatest achievement possible.
Charles Stanley
We are the product of our thinking, so it is important that we choose carefully where to focus our mental energy.
Charles Stanley
The reason so many of us struggle so intensely with adversity is that we have yet to adopt God's perspective and priorities.
Charles Stanley
I know God can cut it (popularity) off in a minute.
Charles Stanley
The difficulties we face originate from one of three sources. Some are sent to us by the Lord to test our faith, others are the result of Satan's attacks, and still others are due to our own sinful choices.
Charles Stanley
If we rationalize our problems when He points them out, we will spend less and less time meditating because we won't want to face God in that area of our lives.
Charles Stanley
If you tell God 'no' because He won't explain the reason He wants you to do something, you are actually hindering His blessing. But when you say 'yes' to Him, all of heaven opens to pour out His goodness and reward your obedience.
Charles Stanley
When we stray from His presence, He longs for you to come back. He weeps that you are missing out on His love, protection and provision. He throws His arms open, runs toward you, gathers you up, and welcomes you home.
Charles Stanley
The time you spend alone with God will transform your character and increase your devotion. Then your integrity and godly behavior in an unbelieving world will make others long to know the Lord.
Charles Stanley
Every test, every trial, every heartache that's been significant, I can turn it over and see how God has turned it into good no matter what.
Charles Stanley
God wants you to understand the Word of God. The Bible is not a mystery book. It's not a book of philosophy. It's a book of truth that explains the attitude and heart of almighty God.
Charles Stanley
As you walk through the valley of the unknown, you will find the footprints of Jesus both in front of you and beside you.
Charles Stanley
Fear stifles our thinking and actions. It creates indecisiveness that results in stagnation. I have known talented people who procrastinate indefinitely rather than risk failure. Lost opportunities cause erosion of confidence, and the downward spiral begins.
Charles Stanley
Motherhood is a great honor and privilege, yet it is also synonymous with servanthood. Every day women are called upon to selflessly meet the needs of their families. Whether they are awake at night nursing a baby, spending their time and money on less-than-grateful teenagers, or preparing meals, moms continuously put others before themselves.
Charles Stanley
Thank the Lord for using each person as a tool in your life to deepen your insight into His grace and conforming you to the image of His Son.
Charles Stanley
When we learn from experience, the scars of sin can lead us to restoration and a renewed intimacy with God.
