Quotes from Charles F. Stanley

Unless you and I strive to obey the Lord in our homes, we will create a spiritually poisonous atmosphere that will infect our children with disrespect for authority—both ours and God's. Pay close attention to this principle: we reap what we sow. Our disobedience today may become our children's rebellion tomorrow.

If any experience in your past is defining you today—other than your salvation experience—then you have serious work to do.

El Dios de la Biblia no es un Dios calculador. Su interés es bendecirnos al máximo en nuestra vida. Es por ello que promete que algunos creyentes van a producir fruto al ciento por ciento.

Whatever you accomplish in life, you will have to accomplish on your knees. (God told Charles F Stanley)

God will never mislead or abandon you, no matter what decision you must make. He will direct you in the best path possible if you will follow Him. If that doesn't give you peace, I don't know what will!

Más bien estaba consciente de tener una gran necesidad que no podía resolver por mi cuenta. Tenía que confiar en aquel que podía resolver los problemas por mí.

Spiritual weakness makes our homes more vulnerable than any other liability, which is why the head of the home needs the full spiritual armor offered by God (Eph. 6:11–18).

You should forgive too. There is no telling what God wants to do through you or through the person who hurt you. The one thing you do know is that as long as you harbor unforgiveness, you're not going to be free. So don't be afraid to let God handle the situation. His plan of justice for your offender may surprise you.

God's word is alive, so full of spiritual truth and wisdom that even a single passage can be digested for a lifetime

Friend, it is sheer pride that keeps you relying on yourself rather than depending on and obeying Your heavenly Father, who wants to be your strength, your life, and your all. Stop trying to figure everything out. Kneel before Him and leave all that concerns you in His hands. He will not fail you.

El carácter que Dios desea que manifestemos lleva las cualidades distintivas de amor, gozo, paz, paciencia, benignidad, bondad, fe, mansedumbre y templanza (Gálatas 5.22-23).

We're more intent on getting out of our circumstances than we are on finding out what great things God wants to show us. But the Father never allows difficulty just for the sake of difficulty—there is always a higher purpose involved. The problem is we cannot always identify God's higher purpose in the midst of our trials. That's when we must exercise our faith by waiting on His word to us.

God has not designed you for failure. He created you for success—not success from the world's perspective, but success His way—which glorifies and honors Him and also brings many blessings.

However, there always is hope with Christ—always another opportunity and always enough wisdom and strength to get through the situation victoriously.

Satan is the prince of this world, and he definitely influences what is broadcast each day.

However, since Scripture teaches that all believers, young and old, should clearly be able to discern the voice of God, it's important for you to stop talking at times and just listen to Him. Grow still and quiet. Open His Word and learn to identify how He speaks. You will, eventually, recognize His voice and know exactly what to do.

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.

La reacción sabia ante la desilusión debe ser siempre la de preguntarle a Dios qué es lo que nos está tratando de enseñar, y entonces responder ante las amarguras con más discernimiento acerca de sus planes y propósitos.

Father, please reveal areas where Scripture hasn't taken root. Make Your Word the foundation of my life so that I may glorify Your name, amen.

El Salmo 62.5 dice: «Alma mía, en Dios solamente reposa, porque de él es mi esperanza».

You can know for sure that the end of this existence means the beginning of an even better life—eternal life with Him in heaven (2 Cor. 5:1–8). You can have inexpressible joy and the "the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension" (Phil. 4:7).

the Father is not surprised or repulsed by your profound wounds, fears, and failings. He knows all about them, and His response is to pursue you and heal you fully. This is why He sent Jesus to save you (Romans 5:8).

Es por ello que como creyentes deberíamos continuar madurando a fin de que no necesitemos que nadie más nos enseñe. Si bien es cierto que Dios ha mandado pastores como predicadores, el crecimiento personal de nuestro ser espiritual debería ser nuestra prioridad.

Friend, the Lord is intensely concerned for you and He wants you to know with certainty that He is closer to you than the very breath you breathe. Though you may feel lonely at times, you are never actually alone. Jesus is one Friend you will always have—who will be with you always—because He is "the same yesterday and today and forever" (Hebrews 13:8).
