More quotes by Max Lucado
Honesty and vulnerability endear us to people they don't endanger us in our relationship.
Max Lucado
You'll always face problems. When you experience hard times, immerse your mind in God thoughts. Turn a deaf ear to doubters. Set your mind on a holy cause. Once you find your mountain, no giant will stop you, no age will disqualify you, and no problem will defeat you.

Michael Jordan once said that the most peaceful moments of his life were on a basketball court, because that's the only place he knew exactly what to do. And to me the most peaceful moments in my ministry are in the pulpit because that's when I really know what I'm going to do.

God did everything necessary to get Herod's attention. He sent messengers from the East and a message from the Torah. He sent wonders from the sky and words from Scripture. He sent the testimony of the heavens and the teaching of the prophets. But Herod refused to listen. He chose his puny dynasty over Christ. He died a miserable old man.

I've never been surprised by God's judgment, but I'm still stunned by His grace.
Max Lucado
The claims of Christ are always on trial, and we remain under oath! We are his witnesses for truth.
Max Lucado
The strength of a story is that it stays with people and it gives an opportunity for that story to connect with people where the Holy Spirit intends for it to do so.
Max Lucado
Don't equate the presence of God with a good mood or a pleasant temperament. God is near whether you are happy or not.
Max Lucado
Gratitude is a dialysis of sorts... it flushes the self-pity out of our systems.
Max Lucado
Jesus was not just godly, godlike, God hungry, God focused, or God worshipping. He was God. Not merely a servant of God, instrument of God, or friend of God, but Jesus was God.
Max Lucado
Remember, you are special because I made you. And I don't make mistakes.
Max Lucado
Jesus tends to his people individually. He personally sees to our needs. We all receive Jesus' touch. We experience his care.
Max Lucado
God's goal is not to get what you want it is to get you what you need.

Our society is just less open to platitudes, more open to stories.
