Charles R. Swindoll was born in El Campo, on October 18, 1934.
Chuck's original pursuit out of high school was directed towards the field of mechanical engineering. However, during his tour of duty with the United States Marine Corps, which included 16 months in Southeast Asia, he became convinced that the Lord's real direction for his life was Christian service as a pastor.
An exciting new chapter in Chuck's life began when he assumed the presidency of Dallas Theological Seminary in July 1994 (the one he graduated from!- Ed). In his role as president, Chuck broadens the public's awareness of the school, oversees its theological direction, and provides fresh vision as the seminary moves into the 21st century. He has also resumed a senior pastor role in the newly established Stonebriar Community Church in Frisco, Texas.
Chuck and his wife Cynthia were married in 1955 and have four children and ten grandchildren.
"The longer I live, the more I realise the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill. It will make or break a company, a church, a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past--we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude--I am convinced that life is ten percent what happens to me and ninety percent how I react to it. And so it is with you--we are in charge of our Attitudes." - Charles Swindoll
"Rejoicing is clearly a spiritual command. To ignore it, I need to remind you, is disobedience." - Charles Swindoll
