Philosophers can debate the meaning of life, but you need a Lord who can declare the meaning of life.
Max Lucado
If we think that this life is all there is to life, then there is no interpretation of our problems, our pain, not even of our privileges. But everything changes when we open up to the possibility that God's story is really our story too.
Max Lucado
You can endure change by pondering His permanence.

Pastoring the flock with words. I love that. We always have a prayer time in the middle of our service. We take about eight or ten minutes before I preach, after we've sung, and invite people to come forward for prayer. That's a tender moment to me. I don't preach much in that, but I like to speak to the people.

The cross is where God forgave his children without lowering his standards.

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.

Jesus gives us hope because He keeps us company, has a vision and knows the way we should go.
Max Lucado
There is a time for risky love. There is a time for extravagant gestures. There is a time to pour out your affections on one you love. And when the time comes - seize it, don't miss it.
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.

No psychological grid works, because if you try to place every personality in one particular grid then you'd need about 4 billion grids because we are all so unique.

Courage does not panic it prays. Courage does not bemoan it believes. Courage does not languish it listens
Max Lucado
Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. To these I commit my day. If I succeed, I will give thanks. If I fail, I will seek his grace. And then, when this day is done, I will place my head on my pillow and rest.

Don't equate the presence of God with a good mood or a pleasant temperament. God is near whether you are happy or not.

Baptism is bowing before the Father and letting him do his work.
