Quote by Charles Stanley
“Con quietud El salmista dijo: «Estad quietos, y conoced que yo soy Dios» (Salmo 46.10). Si hemos de escuchar a Dios, tenemos que estar quietos y dejar que Él sea el que hable. Muchos, cuando oran, se limitan a leer una lista de pedidos, se levantan y se van. En lugar de oír a Dios, nos limitamos a informarle lo que queremos. ¿Cómo puede Dios hablarnos si no nos damos tiempo para escuchar? La quietud es esencial para ello. Si estamos demasiado ocupados como para prestar atención, no oiremos nada. Si pasamos noche tras noche mirando la televisión y luego tratamos de escuchar, encontraremos que nuestra mente está repleta de interferencias carnales. Prepararse para escuchar a Dios requiere tiempo y quietud. «Alma mía, en Dios solamente reposa, porque de Él es mi esperanza» (Salmo 62.5).”

Charles Frazier Stanley was born September 25, 1932, in the small town of Dry Fork, Virginia. The only child of Charley and Rebecca Stanley, Charles came into the world during a time when the entire nation felt the grip of the Great Depression. To make matters worse, just nine months later, his father Charley died at the young age of 29.
However, Charles refused to let the Great Depression or the difficulties of his life define him. Instead, like his father and grandfather before him, he clung to God’s Word and took up the mantle to preach the gospel to whoever would listen.
Dr. Stanley’s motivation is best represented by the truth found in Acts 20:24, “Life is worth nothing unless I use it for doing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus—the work of telling others the Good News about God's mighty kindness and love.” This is because, as he says, “It is the Word of God and the work of God that changes people’s lives.”
Dr. Stanley’s teachings can be heard weekly at First Baptist Church Atlanta, daily on “In Touch with Dr. Charles Stanley” radio and television broadcasts on more than 2,800 stations around the world, on the Internet at intouch.org, through the In Touch Messenger, and in the monthly, award-winning In Touch magazine.
