Here are some quotations from the book Call To Commitment -- Confronting Casual Christianity by Charles Stanley.  It is published by Nashville based Broadman & Holman Publishers.

"We nonchalantly and quietly go about our own business as though God never existed, as though God were dead. What we are indicating is: 'Lord, Your plan doesn't fit my plan. I choose my plan over Your plan.' That is disastrous." --Charles Stanley

"The Bible is not a book for our convenience. It speaks about commitment and sacrifice and going the second mile, leaving all to follow Jesus." -C.S.

"The Christians of this nation are abundantly supplied with many resources, spiritual and material, and yet we are making a pitiful showing in our influence and impact on society." --C.S.

"No Christian has the right to live his own life and do his own thing. If the God of the Bible is your God, He has the final authority over your life." --C.S.

"The most important consideration is not what you have or do not have, but what has you? What are you captured by? What are you captivated with? What are you dominated and controlled by?" --C.S.

"Are you committed to Jesus, obedient to Him, sold out to Him, turned over to Him, following Him, seeking His guidance, doing His will, acting on His commandments, engaged in His ministry, doing His bidding with all your being? Is Jesus Christ Number One in your entire life?" --Charles Stanley
