I loved this man! What a treasure even when with the Lord. A man who touched lives forever. Miss him greatly. He was my pastor on tape. He guided me while I was young. I never met him but he was my pastor from a far. His voice heals my soul. What a gift. Jesus! What a teacher . Where are the real teachers gone! God let me love your word like Charles Stanley. My God! What a diamond! His family should be ever proud of him like I am.❤

Dr. Stanley is very rare, he speaks of God based on scriptures & I really appreciate it, it encourages me to live by God’s principles even though it is difficult at times. He doesn’t teach the wide road like many new age teachings out there where it’s mostly about preference of what “I want”, “what I feel or think is right.” I appreciate that Dr. Charles Stanley teaches us about the less travelled narrow road & is based on the word of God. He stresses the importance of reading the Bible, which I have learned to be important because it helps us avoid being lead astray.

I have been on wavering faith for far too long in my time, been a born-again Christian for 3 weeks. I had a struggle of not following principle and hanging around the wrong crowds, and ultimately allowing my eyes to see things that put bad ideas into my head. Since I repented and asked Jesus to be my Lord and Savior, I have been seeking more clean forms of entertainment and try my hardest to manage my stress through prayer and reading The Bible. I have had relapses in sin, and I am continuing to rejoice with God everyday in how gracious He is for allowing me to wake up, go to work, and have the Holy Spirit assist me to break from the bondage of sin. The most freeing feeling I felt was when I was obedient to reading scripture and resting peacefully knowing the Lord watches over me and only allows things to happen in his plan. I have been living in preference instead of principle for too long, made too many excuses and tried to find that one article that say I can sin, all of which gave me that empty feeling inside. I know that the Holy Spirit is working on me when I can feel bad when I waver from the pathway of righteous thinking. God bless anyone who is willing to change regardless of the pain. I know that my wounds may feel heavy at times and I regret my past decisions upon when I meet with our Lord on judgement day. But I am so glad to look more into Jesus' teachings and know that He loves me despite my shortcomings and disobedience, because he will know that I am trying to walk with him. The more my wounds open up, the more I realize that I need Him now more than ever. I love you all for following with our Lord. Please try as hard as you can to flee from sin and live happier with God.

[@constant4534]

Thanks for sharing..I can , most definitely, relate! The worst part of this is...I really could have avoided living with regret in my older years; if I had stuck with the Principles of God in my younger years.. I Thank God for being so loving; He doesn't allow me to wallow in regret. It's not a pleasant place to be.

Daniel and the Lion's Den is a good talking point to introduce principals versus preferences, truly.

[@stevenjohnson1927]

Making " DECISIONS " in these trying times: Listen to the Holy Spirit , Silently He speaks to you in your heart . So the cross road of life is before you ( RIGHT AND WRONG ) . Dare to call wrong right ? There are disturbing consequences when we disobey the Holy Spirit , by calling Right wrong and wrong right . Just pray in Silence !! and humbly follow the instruction of the Holy Spirit and never forget the Teachings Of Jesus Christ. Much Thanks Dr. Stanly, Highly informative.🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
