Charles Stanley quotes about
christian taken men
God is looking for imperfect men and women who have learned to walk in moment-by-momen t dependence on the Holy Spirit. Christians who have come to terms with their inadequacies, fears, and failures. Believers who have become discontent with 'surviving' and have taken the time to investigate everything God has to offer in this life.
trials hardship response
It is not the trials in your life that develop or destroy you, but rather your response to those hardships.
jesus example obedient
Jesus set an example for us to follow: a life of loving, obedient service.
christian training suffering
Suffering prepares you by training you to trust God and know that He is always at work in your life.
prayer personality moments
Since God knows our future, our personalities, and our capacity to listen, He isn't ever going to say more to us than we can deal with at the moment.
important attention want
Of all the things Christ wants for us, loving Him and focusing our attention on Him are the most important.
disappointment optimistic choices
Disappointments are inevitable; discouragement is a choice.
prayer heart people
To have God speak to the heart is a majestic experience, an experience that people may miss if they monopolize the conversation and never pause to hear God's responses.
average effort excellent
If a person becomes content with what is average, minimally acceptable, or satisfactory, she will rarely exert the effort or work toward something that is truly excellent or outstanding.
ideas people want
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.
inspirational reading important
I would never discredit reading the Scriptures, but it is important to meditate on it.
christian character intimate-relationships
All of us have areas of weakness. God wants these character flaws to show us how totally dependent we are upon Him. When we handle them properly, they drive us into a deeper, more intimate relationship with the Lord. But uncontrolled weakness wreaks havoc in a person's life.
commitment reflection giving
Each of us will eventually give away all our earthly possessions. How we choose to do so, however, is a reflection of our commitment to the kingdom of God.
friends wise mean
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.
