“God is greater than any form of evil. He is alive and present with us through the power of His Holy Spirit in the lives of those who have accepted Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. This means that not only do we have a sure hope for what seems to be the most hopeless of circumstances, but we also have a loving Savior who comforts us in our times of trial and heartache (2 Cor. 1:3–4). He has a plan for your life, even if it has been damaged and torn apart by the winds of adversity (Jer. 29:11). You may think that there is no way He could ever love you, but He does. He created you in love for the purpose of knowing and loving you. Catastrophic events that involve innocent people are not the result of anything we have done wrong.

Rather, you discover it through your intimate relationship with Him—through prayer and Bible study as you strive to know Him better. If you have been on a quest to “find God” or “track down His will,” stop searching and simply talk to Him. He knows where you are, and He knows exactly where you need to go. No roadmap could promise more.”
“fact, you cannot keep it hidden very long. This is because attitudes like bitterness and jealousy are written in the eyes. If we look closely, we can see joy and happiness on the face of a person who is truly content. Likewise, there usually will be a sense of tenseness or a distance within the eyes of those who allow these feelings to gather within their lives. Anger and bitterness are written on a person’s countenance. How”

“The true blessings of God can rarely be counted because He places them within our hearts.”

“Allow this truth to set you free: you don’t have to be perfect to experience the Father’s love and provision. Do you constantly worry about how your next mistake might make God react toward you? Friend, this is an exhausting way to live. While it’s essential you honor Him through obedience, He doesn’t love you any less when you mess up.”
“Satan is the prince of this world, and he definitely influences what is broadcast each day.”
“During difficult times, we must trust God to bring us through the problem, trial, or tragedy. We may think that we are not gaining ground, but we are. In fact, from His viewpoint, we are gaining the most important ground because we are learning to trust Him in the darkest moments of our lives. One of the greatest benefits that comes from difficulty is an opportunity to draw closer to God and to develop a deeper faith in Him. A second benefit is an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ. There are many things in life that you can purchase with money, but you cannot buy intimacy with God.”

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.
