Encouraging Words from Max Lucado – Part IV

“Our moods may shift, but God’s doesn’t. Our minds may change, but God’s doesn’t. Our devotion may falter, but God’s never does. Even if we are faithless, He is faithful, for He cannot betray himself. He is a sure God.”1

“Sin is not an unfortunate slip or a regrettable act; it is a posture of defiance against a holy God.”

“The purpose of the Bible is simply to proclaim God’s plan to save His children.”

“Those in the circle of Christ had no doubt of his love; those in our circles should have no doubt about ours.”

“Does the presence of pain mean the absence of God? 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.”

“God is not a miser with his grace. Your cup may be low in cash or clout, but it is overflowing with mercy.”

“Every other religion is a salvation by self, Christianity is a salvation by Christ.”

“Become a worry-slapper. Treat frets like mosquitoes. Do you procrastinate when a bloodsucking bug lights on your skin? ‘I’ll take care of it in a moment.’ Of course, you don’t! You give the critter the slap it deserves. Be equally decisive with anxiety.”

“The Christmas message itself is that God chooses common people to do the most uncommon things. No matter how common you are, and no matter how simple you are, God has a plan and ability to come into our world and do something unusual.”

“Regardless of the circumstances that surrounded your arrival, you are not an accident. God planned you before you were born.”

“When Christ was born, so was our hope.”

“Blessed are those who know what on earth they are here on earth to do and set themselves about the business of doing it.”

“Christmas is best pondered, not with logic, but with imagination.”

“What does a life without anxiety look like? With God as your helper, you’ll sleep better tonight and smile more tomorrow. You’ll reframe the way you face your fears. You’ll learn how to talk yourself off the ledge, view bad news through the lens of sovereignty, discern the lies of Satan, and tell yourself the truth. You’ll discover a life that’s characterized by calm and will develop tools for facing the onslaughts of anxiety.”

“I believe for God not to allow pain to happen in the world is for Him to extract free will from the world.”

“We preachers, people entrust us with their time week after week. I’m still stunned that people will let me talk to them for thirty minutes about anything I want to. It’s a wonderful treasure that we are to steward.”

“God’s love supply is never empty.”

“Filter your pain through the brevity of this life and the unending beauty of the next.”

“We refuse to believe that this present world is the sum total of human existence.”

“Being religious without knowing the cross is like owning a Mercedes with no motor. Pretty package, but where is your power?”

“God’s greatest blessings often come costumed as disasters. Any doubters need to do nothing more than ascend the hill of Calvary.”

“Fear corrodes our confidence in God’s goodness.”

“It’s my hope that as you dip your toe into the Bible’s story and viewpoint, you’ll find yourself feeling that the Good Book knows more about the world – and about you – than any normal book does.”
