Demanding respect is like chasing a butterfly. Chase it, and you'll never catch it. Sit still, and it may light on your shoulder.

I've never really prided myself as being quick on my feet.
Max Lucado
Grace is not blind. It sees the hurt full well. But chooses to see God's forgiveness even more.
Max Lucado
Not everybody can create a foundation that's worth a billion dollars, but all of us can figure out those things we do. I really think God loves us too much to give us an assignment we don't enjoy doing.
Max Lucado
On the eve of the cross, Jesus made his decision. He would rather go to hell for you than go to heaven without you.
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
God has a timeline. And because of Bethlehem, we have an idea where we stand on it.
Max Lucado
It's important to preach like there's a broken heart on every pew. That's always been a phrase that stuck with me. Not everybody is having a tough time, but you can bet your buck that there's a good tenth of your church that's going through a hard season. There really is a broken heart on every pew.
Max Lucado
To have a pure heart, we must submit all thoughts to the authority of Christ. If we are willing to do that, he will change us to be like him.
Max Lucado
We've got to realize there's something bigger than who is in the White House. And that is the spirit of camaraderie and peace that keeps our nation together.

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.
Max Lucado
It seems to me that election season is just a Petri dish for anger and cynicism.
Max Lucado
Give your problems to Christ before your problems get to you.
Max Lucado
In this post-modern culture in which we live - where people question absolute truth - stories are resistant to platitudes they're resistant to me making declarations of truth to them. A story can do that in kind of a Trojan-horse fashion.
Max Lucado
You are who God says you are. Spiritually alive. Heavenly positioned. Connected to the Father. A billboard of mercy. An honored child.
Max Lucado
You are heaven's Halley's comet we have one shot at seeing you shine.
Max Lucado
I don't think God is a gender. He presents himself as a father but he comes to us with the tenderness of a mother. In some of the parables, he is the housewife who cleans the house looking for the lost coin.
Max Lucado
God comes on his own terms. He comes when commands are revered, hearts are clean, and confession is made.
Max Lucado
Others have promised and failed. But God has promised and succeeded. He loves you with an unfailing love.
Max Lucado
I'm a preacher first and a writer second, although my role is changing a bit at the church. I'm going to bring on a co-teacher, but I'll still be a pastor and a writer.
Max Lucado
The worst part of all is that, without forgiveness, bitterness is all that is left
