MONDAY QUOTES: DR. CARLES STANLEY

     

The bottom line in the Christian life is obedience and most people don't even like the word.                            – Dr. 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.                                                                  – Dr. Charles Stanley

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.                                                      – Dr. Charles Stanley

 

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.                                               – Dr. Charles Stanley

 

Basically, there are two paths you can walk: faith or fear. It's impossible to simultaneously trust God and not trust God.                                                                           – Dr. Charles Stanley

 

The Bible tells us that God will meet all our needs. He feeds the birds of the air and clothes the grass with the splendor of lilies. How much more, then, will He care for us, who are made in His image? Our only concern is to obey the heavenly Father and leave the consequences to Him.   – Dr. Charles Stanley

 

God's plan for enlarging His kingdom is so simple - one person telling another about the Savior. Yet we're busy and full of excuses. Just remember, someone's eternal destiny is at stake. The joy you'll have when you meet that person in heaven will far exceed any discomfort you felt in sharing the gospel.                                                                                        – Dr. Charles Stanley

 

When God speaks, oftentimes His voice will call for an act of courage on our part.                         – Dr. Charles Stanley

 

Too many Christians have a commitment of convenience. They'll stay faithful as long as it's safe and doesn't involve risk, rejection, or criticism. Instead of standing alone in the face of challenge or temptation, they check to see which way their friends are going.                                                                     – Dr. Charles Stanley

 

Earthly wisdom is doing what comes naturally. Godly wisdom is doing what the Holy Spirit compels us to do. – Dr. Charles Stanley

 

The moment someone chooses to trust in Jesus Christ, his sins are wiped away, and he is adopted into God's family. That individual is set apart as a child of God, with a sacred purpose.                                                                       – Dr. Charles Stanley
