Max Lucado quotes and sayings
Lower your expectations of earth. This isn't heaven, so don't expect it to be.
Max Lucado quotes
- We are Jesus Christ's; we belong to him. But even more, we are increasingly him. He moves in and commandeers our hands and feet, requisitions our minds and tongues. We sense his rearranging: debris into the divine, pig's ear into silk purse. He repurposes bad decisions and squalid choices. Little by little, a new image emerges.
- God is not troubled by one who is conservative or liberal, and He certainly never inclines His ear toward a donkey or an elephant.
- I don't believe our works save us, but I believe they follow us into heaven and bring glory to God.
- It seems to me that election season is just a Petri dish for anger and cynicism.
- I think that a church should be setting the pace for social justice.
- If we can understand that death is not the end but is really a transition into the next life, the great part of life, that frees us up into receiving God's courage and his help.
- Compassion in evangelical churches is out of balance. When I talk about it, I get a lot of glazed expressions.
- You know people just assume, 'Well, all my life I'll be a worrier.' That doesn't have to be true. There's a way to drink from God's presence so much that worry begins to dissipate.
- Sentences are like just caught fish. Spunky today, stinky tomorrow.
- Well, I think the main message is there is more to your story. There is more than what happens between the crib and the grave, and that is what I am really trying to speak to, this idea that all of life is this life and that there is nothing more than what we see and experience right here on this earth.
