MONDAY QUOTES: 14 Quotes from Chuck Swindoll

There is nothing more fearful for the average person in our society than to stand before a group of people and speak.

 

When you have vision it affects your attitude. Your attitude is optimistic rather than pessimistic.

 

The world has changed and it's going to keep changing, but God never changes; so we are safe when we cling to Him.

When you have a sense of calling, whether it's to be a musician, soloist, artist, in one of the technical fields, or a plumber, there is something deep and enriching when you realize it isn't just a casual choice, it's a divine calling.

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.
