Charles R. Swindoll quotes about
meaningful satisfaction-in-life finding-happiness
In spite of the extent to which Solomon went to find happiness, because he left God out of the picture, nothing satisfied. It never will. Satisfaction in life will never occur until there is a meaningful connection with the living Lord above the sun.
happiness laughter grateful
Of all the things God created, I am often most grateful He created laughter.
inspirational change happiness
We cannot change our past. We can not change the fact that people act in a certain way. We can not change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude.
morning attitude pursuit-of-happiness
The pursuit of happiness is a matter of choice...it is a positive attitude we choose to express. It is not a gift delivered to our door each morning, nor does it come through the window. And it is certain that our circumstances are not the things that make us joyful. If we wait for them to get just right, we will never laugh again.
motivational happiness attitude
The remarkable thing is, we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day.
blessing pay-the-price people
If you only knew what God had to take me through to get me to the place where he could use me to be a blessing to other people, I doubt whether you would be willing to pay the price.
second-chance first-impression firsts
First impressions never have a second chance.
simple house support
Many seducers clutter the simple message of the gospel with legalistic additions, with convoluted attempts to legitimize moral compromise, and with psychological theories that turn churches into relational support groups instead of houses of worship.
waste arguing lord
When each elder or pastor has his will aligned with the Lord's, we waste no time arguing for our own.
running responsibility church
It's not our church; it's God's - it's not our responsibility to run it!
children parent thrill
Part of the thrill of guiding children into adulthood is the release. But it's also a parent's greatest act of surrender. Still, you have to let them go. Start now.
believe i-believe
I believe firmly in God's control in life.
safe world never-change
The world has changed and it's going to keep changing, but God never changes; so we are safe when we cling to Him.
decision waiting challenges
Next time you're faced with a credit-purchase decision, wait. Don't say no necessarily. Just wait. I challenge you to present your need to the Lord before presenting it to a bank, and see what He does with it.
