CHARLES R. SWINDOLLI’m here today to warn you: I want you to watch out for the adversary. Guard yourself from any spirit of entitlement. Restrain any and all subtle temptation to gain attention or to find ways to promote yourself.
CHARLES R. SWINDOLLAttitude keeps me going or cripples my progress. It alone fuels my fire or assaults my hopes. When my attitudes are right, there is no barrier too high, no valley too deep, no dream too extreme, no challenge too great for me.

CHARLES R. SWINDOLLDon’t expect wisdom to come into your life like great chunks of rock on a conveyor belt. Wisdom comes privately from God as a byproduct of right decisions, godly reactions, and the application of spiritual principles to daily circumstances.
CHARLES R. SWINDOLLWhen Christ becomes our central focus, contentment replaces our anxiety as well as our fears and insecurities.
CHARLES R. SWINDOLLThe size of a challenge should never be measured by what we have to offer. It will never be enough. Furthermore, provision is God’s responsibility, not ours. We are merely called to commit what we have – even if it’s no more than a sack lunch.
CHARLES R. SWINDOLLAllow me to offer a simple definition of wisdom. Wisdom is looking at life from God’s point of view.
CHARLES R. SWINDOLLGod never asked us to meet life’s pressures and demands on our own terms or by relying upon our own strength. Nor did He demands that we win His favor by assembling an impressive portfolio of good deeds. Instead, He invites us to enter His rest.
CHARLES R. SWINDOLLGod also allows suffering so that we might learn what it means to depend on Him, not on our own strength and resources.
CHARLES R. SWINDOLLPeople who are close to God cultivate a personal intimacy with Him like a good gardener cultivates beautiful flowers.
CHARLES R. SWINDOLLThe world has changed and it’s going to keep changing, but God never changes; so we are safe when we cling to Him.
CHARLES R. SWINDOLLNothing speaks louder or more powerfully than a life of integrity.
CHARLES R. SWINDOLLLove has been called the most effective motivational force in all the world. When love is at work in us, it is remarkable how giving and forgiving, understanding and tolerant we can be.
CHARLES R. SWINDOLLAcceptance is taking from God’s hand absolutely anything He gives, looking into His face in trust and thanksgiving.
