Quotes from Charles Stanley

MAKING WISE DECISIONS: When GOD brings something to your mind-----Don't let it pass without dealing with it.

In times of defeat, we never know how close we are to victory. In every event of failure, God has planted a seed of success.

There is nothing worse than a life filled with adversity from which nothing good ever comes.

He wants you all to Himself to put His loving, divine arms around you.

Of all the things Christ wants for us, loving Him and focusing our attention on Him are the most important.

In our friendships we have to be wise that we choose godly people to be our friends. Somebody might say, well does that mean that you should never have a lost person as your friend? No, I wouldn't say that. But you can't have the same intimacy with a lost person that you can with a godly person in whom the Holy Spirit is living.

God will never direct us to be prideful, arrogant and unforgiving, immoral or slothful or full of fear. We step into these things because we are insensitive to the leadership of the Holy Spirit within us.
