Dr. Charles Stanley

A Faithful Church in a Deceived Society

June 30, 2020

We know the world is blind and deceived by the enemy. But Satan also strives to lead Christians astray through false doctrine and temptation. Just like Paul nearly 2,000 years ago, many pastors today long to see their congregations hold fast to the gospel and stand up to the enemy’s lies.

In this message, Dr. Stanley explains the role spiritual maturity and growth in Christ play in spreading the gospel. To grow in faith is to hear and apply the teaching and admonitions preached from the Word of God. This takes work that not everyone is willing to do. But when God's people commit themselves to His work—to the point of blood, sweat, and tears—then the body of Christ will move and reach the world for the kingdom of God.

In this message, Dr. Stanley examines King David’s life, delivering a sobering lesson about the consequences of our behavior. Just as it did for David, the principle of sowing and reaping still bears out in our lives today. Since God's ultimate goal is that we be conformed to the image of His Son Jesus, He will use even the most dire consequences to mold us into His likeness. Take care what you sow, but also trust God to use everything—even your failures—to reap a harvest of righteousness.

How can a relationship, once broken, be made whole again? How can there be peace after anger, pain, and suffering? In this message, Dr. Stanley explains why we should be motivated to reach out to anyone with whom we have had a falling out. He also tells us how to go about doing so. He says the offended person must: take the initiative, be willing to suffer, choose to die to selfish ways, have a change of attitude, reach out in unconditional, forgiving love.

When some people join a church, they become lifelong, active members. Others, however, start out excited but fall away over time. And still others never get involved, somehow content to sit on the sidelines. In this message, Dr. Stanley talks about why we fail to recognize Jesus’ leadership in the church and end up losing interest in serving Him from within a local body of believers. He also dispels the myth that salvation is automatically obtained through church membership.

Our God is more than adequate to meet all of our needs, and yet we worry. Why? Either Jesus isn’t sufficient, or we don’t know Him well enough to trust Him. In this message, Dr. Stanley talks about the supremacy of Jesus Christ over all things. There is no one like Him, and all things submit to His sovereignty. There is no one more trustworthy. But the only creature on earth with the audacity to rebel against Him is the one to which He gave a free will—mankind.

Jesus said, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me” (John 14:6). How could He say such a thing? In this message, Dr. Stanley uses a passage in Colossians to refute common false beliefs about Jesus, explain how the Son of God is the image of an invisible heavenly Father, and how we can have unwavering faith in Him.
