Charles R. Swindoll quotes about
ignorance character names
Someone has said,"Education is going from an unconscious to conscious awareness of one's ignorance."..No one has a corner on wisdom. All the name-dropping in the world does not heighten the significance of our character. If anything, it reduces it. Our acute need is to cultivate a willingness to learn and to remain teachable.
character heart secret
How important is the heart! It is there that character is formed. It alone holds the secrets of true success. It's treasures are priceless - but they can be stolen.
christian worry characteristics
Worry is characteristic of the heathen, not the Christian.
most-encouraging please knows
You know one of the most encouraging things about faith? It pleases God.
being-yourself like-you know-yourself
Know yourself, like yourself, be yourself.
mean loss suffering-pain
When you suffer and lose, that does not mean you are being disobedient to God. In fact, it might mean you're right in the center of His will. The path of obedience is often marked by times of suffering and loss.
christian worry religion
Worry and faith just don't mix.
hot pot back-burner
Allowing anger to seethe on the back burner will lead to a very large lid blowing off a very hot pot.
worry mind promise
Worry erases the promises of God from your mind.
winning jewels anchors
Consistency: It's the jewel worth wearing; It's the anchor worth weighing; It's the thread worth weaving; It's a battle worth winning.
spiritual children parenting
You want to mess up the minds of your children? Here's how - guaranteed! Rear them in a legalistic, tight context of external religion, where performance is more important than reality. Fake your faith. Sneak around and pretend your spirituality. Train your children to do the same. Embrace a long list of do's and don'ts publicly but hypocritically practice them privately... yet never own up to the fact that its hypocrisy. Act one way but live another. And you can count on it - emotional and spiritual damage will occur.
worry forget-you forgotten
Another problem with worry is that it makes you forget your worth. Worry makes you feel worthless, forgotten, and unimportant.
pain focus valleys
We shouldn't deny the pain of what happens in our lives. We should just refuse to focus only on the valleys.
christian judging religion
God alone is perfectly and consistently just. We forget; God remembers. We see an action; God sees a motive. This qualifies Him as the best recordkeeper and judge.
