Dr. Charles Stanley is a known and respected senior pastor of First Baptist Church in northern Atlanta, Georgia. With more than two dozens books under his belt, Dr. Stanley preaches about how to build your relationship with the Lord stronger and closer. Here is a look at some great Charles F. Stanley quotes to remember.
“Adversity is always unexpected and unwelcomed. It is an intruder and a thief, and yet in the hands of God, adversity becomes the means through which His supernatural power is demonstrated.”
“Basically, there are two paths you can walk: faith or fear. It’s impossible to simultaneously trust God and not trust God.”
“God is responsible for the consequences of our obedience, WE are responsible for the consequences of our disobedience.”
“God’s voice is still and quiet and easily buried under an avalanche of clamor. ”
“His voice leads us not into timid discipleship but into bold witness.”
“If the church marries herself to the spirit of the times, she will find herself a widow in the next generation.”

“If we rationalize our problems when He points them out, we will spend less and less time meditating because we won’t want to face God in that area of our lives.”
“If you put your faith in yourself and your abilities, intellect and dreams, then your foundation is only as strong as you are.”
“I’m convinced that the man who has learned to meditate upon the Lord will be able to run on his feet and walk in his spirit. Although he may be hurried by his vocation, that’s not the issue. The issue is how fast his spirit is going. To slow it down takes a period of time.”
“No one enjoys feeling weak, whether it is emotionally, spiritually or physically. There is something within the human spirit that wants to resist the thought of weakness. Many times this is nothing more than our human pride at work. Just as weakness carries a great potential for strength, pride carries an equally great potential for defeat.”
“Nobody else can make us discouraged; it is a choice that we alone make when facing disappointments.”

“Of all the things Christ wants for us, loving Him and focusing our attention on Him are the most important.”
“Often times God demonstrates His faithfulness in adversity by providing for us what we need to survive. He does not change our painful circumstances. He sustains us through them.”
“Since God knows our future, our personalities, and our capacity to listen, He isn’t ever going to say more to us than we can deal with at the moment.”
“The dark moments of our life will last only so long as is necessary for God to accomplish His purpose in us.”
“The gate is small because truth guards the entrance. The way is narrow because the Lord protects us with wise boundaries.”
“There is only one secure foundation: a genuine, deep relationship with Jesus Christ, which will carry you through any and all turmoil. No matter what storms are raging all around, you’ll stand firm if you stand on His love.”

“We must remember that the shortest distance between our problems and their solutions is the distance between our knees and the floor.”
“When trouble comes, focus on God’s ability to care for you.”
“When we surrender to His timing, He does mighty things in and for us, according to His will and His timing. God acts on behalf of those who wait for Him.”
“When you become consumed by God’s call on your life, everything will take on new meaning and significance. You will begin to see every facet of your life – including your pain – as a means through which God can work to bring others to Himself.”
“Wherever you go, God is with you – watching over you, protecting you, and providing the truth you need for every situation. The question is, will you open your heart to His Word, apply it to your life, and allow God to change you so that He can use you in ways far greater than you can imagine?”
“You may go through difficulty, hardship, or trial—but as long as you are anchored to Him, you will have hope.”
