Making Wise Decisions | Dr. Charles Stanley

Sunday devotionals will be a video teaching with a variety of teachers, bishops, and pastors. Today’s video is with Dr. Stanley on Making Wise Decisions.

Grounded in Scripture, this practical step-by-step plan won’t just help you choose wisely, it will lead you into greater intimacy with the Lord as you increasingly depend on Him and trust in His promises.

  1. Don’t settle for less than the best
    • No progress being made
    • Living one weekend to the next
    • No purpose 
  2. Be courageous 
    • Say yes and no when needed
  3. Take control of my thoughts
    • What I think about controls my life
    • I am who God says I am
    • Think about what I’m thinking about
    • Think Godly thoughts 
    • My mind controls every aspect of my life…
    • Don’t believe the lies of others 
  4. Don’t chase money
    • Serve others
    • Have great health
    • Love 
    • Peace
    • Joy
    • Eternal life
    • My heart and soul 
  5. Don’t limit my potential
    • Don’t die after retirement!
  6. Keep learning
    • Be useful
    • Aging brain is not useful
  7. Deal with rejection 
    • How do I respond 
    • Recognize the source and deal with it
    • It sends a painful message 
    • It can be devastating 
    • What do I do with it
      • Sense of belonging 
      • I’m worthy
      • I’m competent 
  8. Build good relationships 
    • Need these to succeed
  9. Live wisely (see his tips on this)
    • Marriage 
    • Money
    • Choices
    • Is this the wisest thing to do?
    • Wisdom is a gift from God 
  10. Laugh 
    • Have joy
    • Have peace
    • No grouchy allowed
