Charles Stanley died

[Amethyst]

Very bittersweet to me.
He was always faithful to lift up God's Word.

Sad that he had to see his son Andy totally denigrate the Bible.

Very bittersweet to me.
He was always faithful to lift up God's Word.

Yes, always sad to see faithful servants of the Lord pass on. May the Lord comfort family and those blessed by God's work in Andy's ministry.

And may we all be comforted by the sweet truth that we'll see the body of Christ now with the Lord again.....

 

[Andy C]

I enjoyed his sermons.

 

[Wally]

He had some very rough seasons in his life, but he focused on Christ as he went through them.

Sorry to hear this I just watched him on Resurrection Day. I am sure he is happier than ever in his eternal home heaven. I wonder if it was natural causes, and who will take over the church? He passed away just 9 days after Resurrection Day. I hope his funeral is online.

 

[Carl]

I'm sure that he is in a happier place now. He really lived through some rough times and survived them!

Yes, sorry to hear this............... but, rejoicing at the same time, that he is home with the Lord and no longer has to face the challenges of today here. Oh, that we might hear the trumpet sound ever so soon, an also be there forever more.

 

[Twindiddy]

The more these old saints from the Church of Philadelphia Era pass away, the less my heart and mind allow me to be pre-trib. Still holding on for now but it's getting harder to believe.

 

[ItIsFinished!]

Listened to many a sermon from that preacher.
He is exactly where he wants to be , with his Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

I'm so sad to hear this. Charles Stanley's books and sermons have had a tremendous impact on my life. Although I know he is now rejoicing in Heaven, the world just seems a little darker today.

 

[athenasius]

It's always hard to hear when a faithful servant of the Lord is called home. Happy for him, sad to see the gap he leaves behind. One thing for sure, he no longer has to worry about whatever his son is cooking up next.

My husband and I were privileged to see Dr. Stanley in person on 2 different occasions several years ago when he came to preach in our neck of the woods in VA. Those were evenings well spent. I also listened to him among others on my drive to work every day after I got saved not to mention I have several of his books. Learned so much from him.

I do not understand his son Andy at all. He certainly went off the reservation just like some others. Can’t imagine how that must have saddened his dad.

 

[MapleLeaf]

Not sure if I've ever heard him preach. When I first heard the news I had thought of Chuck Swindoll which confused me a bit at the time. I am sorry for his family but he is rejoicing to be with his Saviour right now.

 

[SarahRose]

Going to pray that this will be a turning point for his son Andy.

Going to pray that this will be a turning point for his son Andy.

I can't believe that Andy has turned to false teaching after having a father for a pastor. He somehow has gotten deceived, and he gets back on track.

 

[Forgiven1]

I feel so sad to hear that Charles Stanley had passed away. His preaching played a big role in my spiritual growth when I was first saved.

 

[Psalm37v4]

He was one of the better preachers around. Gave solid, strong messages.
I remember an interview when he was 80 or so saying he hoped he'd live to see 90.
His mansion must look amazing!
