Charles Stanley

Dr. Charles F. Stanley is the senior pastor of First Baptist Church Atlanta, founder of In Touch Ministries, and a New York Times best-selling author who has written more than fifty books, and has sold more than nine million copies. He demonstrates a keen awareness of people's needs and provides Christ-centered, biblically-based principles for everyday life.

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.

Para recibir las instrucciones de Dios es necesario que estemos en buenas relaciones con Él. Eso significa que hemos de ser llenos de su Espíritu y tenemos que aprender a andar en su Espíritu, sin contristar al Espíritu Santo de Dios (véase Efesios 4.30). Si contristamos a Dios al decirle sí al pecado y apagamos al Espíritu diciéndole no a Dios, ¿cómo puede el Espíritu Santo, que es receptor y comunicador para nuestro espíritu, declararnos la revelación de Dios? Una de las principales razones por las que la gente no oye nada cuando habla con Dios es que no está viviendo en el Espíritu. Su estilo de vida está en silenciosa rebelión contra Dios.

Con frecuencia una de las razones de nuestra perspectiva incorrecta de Dios es que cada vez que vamos a algún culto de la iglesia, encendemos la televisión o incluso leemos un libro, alguien nos dice: «Estás pecando contra Dios». «No estás obedeciendo a Dios». «No estás haciendo esto». «Deberías hacer aquello». «Dios está insatisfecho». «Dios está enojado». Recibimos una paliza verbal, emocional, desde todos los ángulos, pero esto no está de acuerdo con el Dios de la Biblia. El Dios de la Biblia es alguien ante quien podemos presentarnos sabiendo que nos va a recibir con paciencia y comprensión. No es un ser criticón, estricto e intransigente. No nos reprende ni nos hace sentir insignificantes porque no logramos el nivel esperado.

The Wise and Foolish Builders 24“Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. 26But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. 27The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.
