What we realize is number one, people want to know what the Bible says. In their heart, they want to know the Bible but it is just hard to understand the big picture of it. And number two, they want to know where they plug in.

More quotes by 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
I think there is, not in the sense that I enjoy it, but that it's an important question. It's the question, Does the presence of pain mean God doesn't care? Does God not love me anymore? I think that's a very common connection we tend to make. I see that a lot in my own life and in the lives of others.
Max Lucado
Remember, you are special because I made you. And I don't make mistakes.

We may not see the connection between the name Jesus and the phrase save his people from their sins, but Joseph would have. He was familiar with the Hebrew language.

You don't impress the officials at NASA with a paper airplane. You don't boast about your crayon sketches in the presence of Picasso. You don't claim equality with Einstein because you can write 'H20.' And you don't boast about your goodness in the presence of the Perfect.

I think I could do better in my approach to application. I think I could do better in preaching practical sermons.

God knows just the place where you'll be placed. He has a barren living room in desperate need of warmth and joy. A corner of the world needs some color. He selected you with that place in mind.

God has a timeline. And because of Bethlehem, we have an idea where we stand on it.

The difference between mercy and grace? Mercy gave the prodigal son a second chance. Grace gave him a feast.

It's okay to rest. Jesus fights when you cannot.

God has work for you to do.

Want to snatch a day from the manacles of boredom? Do overgenerous deeds, acts beyond reimbursement. Kindness without compensation. Do a deed for which you cannot be repaid.
Max Lucado
Matthew loved the magi. He gave their story more square inches of text than he gave the narrative of the birth of Jesus. He never mentions the shepherds or the manger, but he didn't want us to miss the star and the seekers. It's easy to see why. Their story is our story.
Max Lucado
Tragically, some people believe they are going to heaven when they die just because a few drops of water were sprinkled over their heads a few weeks after their birth. They have no personal faith, have never made a personal decision, and are banking on a hollow ceremony to save them. How absurd.
Max Lucado
To live as God's child is to know that you are loved by your Maker not because you try to please him and succeed, or fail to please him and apologize, but because he wants to be your Father. Nothing more.
Max Lucado
Don't be defined by your failures, be refined by them.

You may go days without thinking of God, but there's never a moment when He's not thinking of you.
