More quotes by Max Lucado
You present a challenge to Satan's plan. You carry something of God within you, something noble and holy, something the world needs - wisdom, kindness, mercy, skill. If Satan can neutralize you, he can mute your influence.
Max Lucado
We're also a multi-site church, so we have other pastors on other campuses who want to read the message before the video plays on the weekend services. So it just works better for me.
Max Lucado
Our kids were God's kids first... We tend to forget this fact, regarding our children as our children, as though we have the final say in their health and welfare. We don't. All people are God's people, including the small people who sit at our tables.

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.
Max Lucado
If today were your last, would you do what you're doing? Or would you love more, give more, forgive more? Then do so! Forgive and give as if it were your last opportunity. Love like there's no tomorrow, and if tomorrow comes, love again.
Max Lucado
I think that I speak a lot like I write.
Max Lucado
I choose joy... I will invite my God to be the God of circumstance. I will refuse the temptation to be cynical... the tool of the lazy thinker. I will refuse to see people as anything less than human beings, created by God. I will refuse to see any problem as anything less than an opportunity to see God.

Every other religion is a salvation by self, Christianity is a salvation by Christ.
Max Lucado
Be a child again. Flirt. Giggle. Dip your cookies in your milk. Take a nap. Say you're sorry if you hurt someone. Chase a butterfly. Be a child again.
Max Lucado
Greed is not defined by what something costs it is measured by what it costs you. If anything costs you your faith or your family, the price is too high. Such is the point Jesus makes in the parable of the portfolio.
Max Lucado
Just as your earthly house is a place of refuge, so God's house is a place of peace.
Max Lucado
You have a God who hears you, the power of love behind you, the Holy Spirit within you, and all of heaven ahead of you. If you have the Shepherd, you have grace for every sin, direction for every turn, a candle for every corner and an anchor for every storm. You have everything you need.
Max Lucado
When we're in the middle of a difficult time, we have to speak against that lie that says, God is not here. We have to draw near to God.
Max Lucado
Of all the things you must earn in life, God's unending affection is not one of them. You have it.
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
God is near whether you sense His presence or not.
Max Lucado
Regardless of the circumstances that surrounded your arrival, you are not an accident. God planned you before you were born.
Max Lucado
What I'm urging people to do is trust in the sovereignty of God.
Max Lucado
Our tendency is to be converted to church and not to Christ.

I get one hour, really 25 minutes in a sermon on a weekend, to combat all the hours of the week that people are told you are what you have through billboards, commercials, and sitcoms, and so forth.
