Top Highlights

“The gospel is: Jesus Christ shed His blood on the cross of Calvary to purchase salvation for you and for me.” (source)

“Service is the doing of good works as God leads and directs through the power of the Holy Spirit. The works are there for us to do. Our responsibility is to obey God, even as Jesus obeyed the Father, and to serve Him with our all of our lives—every last grain, every last bit ‘poured out’ to Him and to others.” (source)

“God’s gift of salvation is offered freely to all who will receive it.” (source)

“The Bible is far more than a great piece of literature or a book of inspiration and spiritual truths. It is a very practical manual for daily living. In many ways, it is God’s ‘Service Manual’ for life. It tells us how to live a godly life, how to maintain loving relationships, and how to fulfill our reason for being on this earth. The Bible relates to every area of our lives. It clearly tells us how to use all of our resources—our gifts, time, talents, money, possessions, and skills—for God’s glory and His purposes, which are the foundation and motivation for all forms of ministry and servanthood.” (source)

“A person with a vision for the greater plans and purposes of God is a person who findings meaning and fulfillment in even the most mundane of tasks. For example, we are not to feed people simply to feed people. We are to feed the hungry so that with full stomachs, they might fully receive the gospel of Christ.” (source)

Charles Stanley, senior pastor of the First Baptist Church of Atlanta and founder of In Touch Ministries, demonstrates a keen awareness of people's needs by providing practical biblical truths for everyday life. By 1982, In Touch Ministries was incorporated and began radio syndication. "In Touch" programs penetrated almost every major market in the United States during the 1980's, reaching more than one-million households with the message of Christ's sufficiency for life's demands. Stanley has also served two terms as president of the Southern Baptist Convention (1984-86) and first joined the NRB's board of directors in 1982.

In 1988, he was inducted into the National Religious Broadcaster's (NRB) Hall of Fame for the consistent excellence of his broadcasts and his leadership in the realm of Christian television and radio. Religious Heritage of America named him Clergyman of the Year in 1989, an award that recognizes pastors who strive to make Judeo-Christian principles part of America's daily life. In 1993, the NRB honored "In Touch" with the Television Producer of the Year award; and in 1999, with the Radio Program of the Year award. Just this year, Thomas Nelson Publishing recognized Dr. Stanley for selling more than 6.5 million copies of his books.

Dr. Stanley's messages tackle such issues as parenting, finances, personal crises, emotions, and relationships. Instructional teaching for personal spiritual growth focuses on prayer, the character of God, fellowship through the Holy Spirit, and the Person of Jesus Christ. Dr. Stanley fervently believes the Bible to be the inerrant Word of God, a belief strongly reflected in his teaching.

The goal of Dr. Charles Stanley is best represented by In Touch's mission statement: to lead people worldwide into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ and to strengthen the local church. Dr. Stanley's heart's desire is to get the gospel to "as many people as possible, as quickly as possible, as clearly as possible, as irresistibly as possible, through the power of the Holy Spirit to the glory of God."
