Inspirational Quotes by Charles Stanley
“He encourages you to share your heart with God, but also directs you to pay attention to what the Father is teaching you.”
“Success is the continuing achievement of becoming the person God wants you to be and accomplishing the goals God has helped you set.”
“God didn’t create us to give us our every whim and wish, but rather, to bring us to the position where we will want to do whatever God desires. He created us for himself.”
“Does that mean that Christ rejects you or loves you less? Absolutely not. Does it mean that you are not saved if you haven’t been baptized? No. It means that as a believer, you need to be obedient and be scripturally baptized.”
“If you were sprinkled as a child or christened, you have not been scripturally baptized. If you were immersed as an adult but had no intention of following Christ, you were not scripturally baptized. If you were sprinkled and have followed Christ since that time, you have not been scripturally baptized. If you were immersed and became a Christian later, you have not been scripturally baptized.”
“Algo de la preocupación también se arraiga en la obediencia. No hay sitio en las Escrituras en el que se nos dé licencia para ser irresponsables.”
“Si en una situación ha confiado en el Señor lo mejor que ha podido, haga a un lado cualquier culpa que sienta. Esa es una culpa falsa.”
“Cuando confiamos en que Jesucristo sea nuestra suficiencia, Él toma cartas en el asunto y nos hace más de lo que somos en nuestra fortaleza, en nuestro intelecto o en nuestra habilidad.”
“But not one shred of scriptural evidence shows that God will say yes to all of our prayers just because we’re living right. God is sovereign. He has the right to say no according to His infinite wisdom, regardless of our goodness.”
“God is more interested in our character, our future, and our sanctification than He is in our momentary satisfaction. His answers are always an act of grace, motivated by His love.”
“Acepte quien Dios pretendió que usted fuera. Cambie lo que sabe que puede cambiar, que necesita cambiar, o que Dios le está pidiendo que cambie. Cambie las mentiras de los demás por la verdad del Señor acerca de usted. Esté dispuesto a continuar cediendo a la obra adaptadora del Espíritu Santo y a desarrollar el carácter que Él desea que desarrolle. Entonces, amigo mío, tendrá mayor paz en su interior.”
“But Jesus’ wisdom far exceeds the world’s, and He often did the opposite of what people expected because He understood spiritual realities they were too limited to see. That’s not to say that the Lord doesn’t utilize human wisdom—He does. But quite often, He will ask you to accomplish goals that seem illogical to your rational mind. When this occurs, be mindful that God is purposeful, wise, and absolutely sovereign. His ways are far higher than your own. And He will certainly bless you as you trust and obey Him. Father,”
“The needs you have for love, respect, security, and admiration cannot be met by the desire of your heart. They are fulfilled by God—and Him alone.”
“Whatever you accomplish in life, you will have to accomplish on your knees. (God told Charles F Stanley)”
“5But the goal of our einstruction is love from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith.”
“6For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus.”
“9The LORD became angry with Solomon because his heart had turned away from the LORD, the God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice. 10Although he had forbidden Solomon to follow other gods, Solomon did not keep the LORD’s command. 11So the LORD said to Solomon, “Since this is your attitude and you have not kept my covenant and my decrees, which I commanded you, I will most certainly tear the kingdom away from you and give it to one of your subordinates.”
“Truly, truly, I say to you, he who receives whomever I send receives Me; and he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me.”

Charles Frazier Stanley was born September 25, 1932, in the small town of Dry Fork, Virginia. The only child of Charley and Rebecca Stanley, Charles came into the world during a time when the entire nation felt the grip of the Great Depression. To make matters worse, just nine months later, his father Charley died at the young age of 29.
However, Charles refused to let the Great Depression or the difficulties of his life define him. Instead, like his father and grandfather before him, he clung to God’s Word and took up the mantle to preach the gospel to whoever would listen.
Dr. Stanley’s motivation is best represented by the truth found in Acts 20:24, “Life is worth nothing unless I use it for doing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus—the work of telling others the Good News about God's mighty kindness and love.” This is because, as he says, “It is the Word of God and the work of God that changes people’s lives.”
Dr. Stanley’s teachings can be heard weekly at First Baptist Church Atlanta, daily on “In Touch with Dr. Charles Stanley” radio and television broadcasts on more than 2,800 stations around the world, on the Internet at intouch.org, through the In Touch Messenger, and in the monthly, award-winning In Touch magazine.
