More quotes by Max Lucado
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
Of all the things you must earn in life, God's unending affection is not one of them. You have it.
Max Lucado
At our church I do not endorse politicians publicly. Because I am afraid that if I endorse one candidate, it would keep somebody from coming to our church. So I made one exception one time to put one bumper sticker on my car, but I don't ever do it anymore.
Max Lucado
To call yourself a child of God is one thing. To be called a child of God by those who watch your life is another thing altogether.
Max Lucado
God, the Master Weaver. He stretches the yarn and intertwines the colors, the ragged twine with the velvet strings, the pains with the pleasures. Nothing escapes his reach.
Max Lucado
The church is never a place to show off. Do your good deeds quietly. Serve don't seek to be seen
Max Lucado
I try to help people see that God uses pain, that pain is one of the ways God shapes us into the kind of beings He wants us to be for eternity.

[ Christianity], in and of itself, sets itself apart inherently, and so, for somebody to say, Well it just seems to me like you can pick between all these religions and still have the same thing. Its kind of like somebody saying, You could pick between 80 bananas and one apple and say you have a banana. You cant call that apple a banana.
Max Lucado
Give a man religion without reminding him of his filth, and the result will be arrogance in a three- piece suit.
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.
Max Lucado
No one wants your worries...not even you. Anxiety comes at a high cost. Let Jesus lead you beside still waters.
Max Lucado
Do you understand what God has done? He has deposited a Christ seed in you. As it grows you will change. It's not that sin has no more presence in your life, but rather that sin has no more power over your life.
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
Jesus came to save us, not just from politics, enemies, challenges, or difficulties.
Max Lucado
The One who saved your soul longs to remake your heart. Let's fix our eyes on Jesus. Perhaps in seeing Him, we will see what we can become!
Max Lucado
What you do for a tree, God does for you.

It seems to me that election season is just a Petri dish for anger and cynicism.
Max Lucado
You are saved, not because of what you do, but because of what Christ did. And you are special, not because of what you do, but because of whose you are. And you are his. And because we are his, let's forget the shortcuts and stay on the main road. He knows the way. He drew the map. He knows the way home.

I work in theology and Christian books all day long, when Im studying, so its just kind of nice to pick up something different. The books that have influenced me, theres not just one book that was a watershed, although Mere Christianity was as much as any.

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.
