Veronica: Dr Stanley, was the best bible teacher and preacher in my lifetime. I learned a lot of daily truths, practical bible facts, how to be the best example even if you don't feel like it. How to act about wrong thinking and what to do with it. How to think about God, Christ and the Holy Spirit. There is not enough space to say what I want to. Thanks God for a man like Dr Charles. Rest in peace. We will miss you every day. Your place on TV will be empty as well as our hearts.
