Choice Quotes by Charles R. Swindoll on Temptation

"It would be wonderful if we could live without facing temptations. But the simple fact is we cannot. If you think you’ve found some place, some unique Christian victory secret, some perfect location, some uninhabited island, some ideal church, some area where there is no chance for temptation, don’t go there. Because when you do, you’re going to spoil it! You see, when you go you take with you your mind—your thoughts, which is the vehicle of temptation. We will never be in a place on earth where there is no temptation. Never." -Charles R. Swindoll

"Mark Antony was known as the “silver-throated orator of Rome.” He was a brilliant statesman, magnificent in battle, courageous, and strong. And he was handsome. As far as personal qualities are concerned, he could have become a world ruler. But he had the very vulnerable and fatal flaw of moral weakness, so much so that on one occasion his personal tutor shouted into his face, “Oh, Marcus, oh, colossal child! Able to conquer the world, but unable to resist a temptation.” -Charles R. Swindoll

"God doesn’t say, 'I’ll meet your greeds.' He says, 'I’ll meet your needs.' Resist the temptation to worry. Leave alone the things you cannot handle, because if you occupy yourself with them, you won’t enjoy what you have." -Charles R. Swindoll 

"The true repentant sinner is seized with the enormity of his or her sin and refuses to excuse it. He or she blames no one else but addresses the sin and comes to terms with it, with the help of the living God." -Charles R. Swindoll
