I do believe that leaders have to be held to a higher standard, especially Christian leaders. I put myself in that camp.
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
God is not troubled by one who is conservative or liberal, and He certainly never inclines His ear toward a donkey or an elephant.

Are you on the eve of change? Embrace it. Accept it. Don't resist it. Change is not only a part of life, change is a necessary part of God's strategy. To use us to change the world, he alters our assignments.

It works well for me to go ahead and prepare the sermon with a chapter in mind. What that does is to force me to be very thrifty in my language, tighten up my words and not ramble so much. It puts some fiber in the sermon.

What Christ does in us and through us will always be 'exceedingly abundantly above all we ask or think.'
Max Lucado
Demanding respect is like chasing a butterfly. Chase it, and you'll never catch it. Sit still, and it may light on your shoulder.

Because of Bethlehem, I have a friend in heaven.

If there are a thousand steps between us and God, He will take all but one. He will leave the final one for us. The choice is ours.

Relationships don't thrive because the guilty are punished but because the innocent are merciful.

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.

I could easily go through all my books and mark the ones that were original, mark the ones that were adapted or pre-published that I've found. I'm guessing though that probably 75% of them are personal events. I just love a personal story.

I think the current book [for Christian apologetics] is by Lee Strobel, its called A Case for Christ.
Max Lucado
Refusing to forgive is like ingesting a lethal dose of poison and hoping it kills my enemy.
Max Lucado
Forgive and give as if it were your last opportunity.
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
How does God deal with your bitter heart? He reminds you that what you have is more important than what you don't have. You still have your relationship with God. No one can take that.
Max Lucado
Though we may not be able to see His purpose or His plan, the Lord of heaven is on His throne and in firm control of the universe and our lives.
