Dr Charles Frazier Stanley died at the age of 90 on April 18, 2023. Many people strive to reach fame in this world, but he made his faith famous. Set free at the age of 12, when he gave his life to Christ, Charles Stanley made it his mission in life to help others find the same freedom. Charles was widely regarded as one of the best preachers of his generation, along with Charles Swindoll and Billy Graham. As he rests peacefully in the arms of his Saviour, we remember some of the iconic and inspired words of one of the greatest Christian leaders of our time.
“Behaviour is the substance of religion. Belief is the substance of relationship.”
“Obey God and leave all the consequences to Him.”
“Our willingness to wait reveals the value we place on the object we’re waiting for.”
“You always have God’s undivided attention.”
“God’s plan for enlarging His Kingdom is so simple – one person telling another about the Saviour. Yet we’re busy and full of excuses. Just remember, someone’s eternal destiny is at stake. The joy you have when you meet that person in heaven will far exceed any discomfort you felt in sharing the Gospel.”
“Our heavenly Father understands our disappointment, suffering, pain, fear, and doubt. He is always there to encourage our hearts and help us understand that He’s sufficient for all our needs. When I accepted this as an absolute truth in my life, I found that my worrying stopped.”
“We must remember that the shortest distance between our problems and their solutions is the distance between our knees and the floor.”
“The circumstances and events that we see as setbacks are oftentimes the very things that launch us into periods of intense spiritual growth.”
“The time you spend alone with God will transform your character and increase your devotion. Then your integrity and godly behaviour in an unbelieving world will make others long to know the Lord.”
“We can be tired, weary, and emotionally distraught, but after spending time alone with God, we find that He injects into our bodies energy, power, and strength.”
“You have to have courage to be obedient to God.”
