In Touch with Dr. Charles Stanley

The most precious thing we can pass down to children is our faith.

To serve others before serving yourself is to practice authentic Christianity.

Motherhood is a great honor and privilege, yet it is also synonymous with servanthood.

"For who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct him?" But we have the mind of Christ (1 Cor. 2:16). We can understand why those without Christ are unable to comprehend biblical concepts, but why do those who know Him struggle?

The Bible clearly defines the following as ministries of the church: worshiping the living God, instructing and edifying believers, making disciples of all nations, and serving the needy.

Jesus made it clear that we would endure hardship in this life.

The testing of your faith produces endurance (James 1:3). Think of patience as a muscle that you have to use in order to see it build. To that end, believers should recognize difficulty as an opportunity to flex their patience.

If we truly desire to walk in the center of God's perfect will, we must become willing to cooperate with His time frame.
