| f108929 | Dads, when you lead by example, you are sowing eternal seeds. --Max | Max Lucado | ||
| 6fa6c15 | Whoever fears the LORD has a secure fortress, and for their children it will be a refuge. PROVERBS 14:26 | Max Lucado | ||
| ea0bf06 | God] oversees your world. He monitors your life. He doesn't need to check the doors; indeed, he is the door. Nothing will come your way apart from his permission. | Max Lucado | ||
| b8fbb90 | Grief takes time. Give yourself some. "Sages invest themselves in hurt and grieving" (Eccles. 7:4 MSG ). Lament may be a foreign verb in our world but not in Scripture's. Seventy percent of the psalms are poems of sorrow. Why, the Old Testament includes a book of lamentations. The son of David wrote, "Sorrow is better than laughter, for sadness has a refining influence on us" (Eccles. 7:3 NLT ). We spelunk life's deepest issues in the cave .. | Max Lucado | ||
| a0c646d | Can you imagine the restaurant host removing his tuxedo coat and offering it to me? Jesus does. We're not talking about an ill-fitting, leftover jacket. He offers a robe of seamless purity and dons my patchwork coat of pride, greed, and selfishness. "He changed places with us" (Gal. 3:13). He wore our sin so we could wear his righteousness." | Max Lucado | ||
| e47f087 | Some accept the blood but forget the water. They want to be saved but don't want to be changed. Others accept the water but forget the blood. They are busy for Christ but never at peace in Christ. | Max Lucado | ||
| 73fd6d9 | Why is the cross the symbol of our faith? To find the answer look no farther than the cross itself. Its design couldn't be simpler. One beam horizontal--the other vertical. One reaches out--like God's love. The other reaches up--as does God's holiness. One represents the width of his love; the other reflects the height of his holiness. The cross is the intersection. The cross is where God forgave his children without lowering his standards. | Max Lucado | ||
| 93d0ad8 | Besides, consider what he did. He gave his Son. His only Son. Would you do that? Would you offer the life of your child for someone else? I wouldn't. There are those for whom I would give my life. But ask me to make a list of those for whom I would kill my daughter? The sheet will be blank. I don't need a pencil. The list has no names. | Max Lucado | ||
| 5f6c3a0 | God can turn any tragedy into a triumph, if only you will wait and watch. | Max Lucado | ||
| cb47321 | You'll Get Through This | Max Lucado | ||
| 0ce35df | You've already learned, haven't you, that a promise made is not always a promise kept? Just because someone is called your dad, that doesn't mean he will act like your dad. Even though they said "yes" on the altar, they may say "no" in the marriage." | Max Lucado | ||
| 8c92312 | You and I are commanded--not urged, commanded--to keep no list of wrongs. | Max Lucado | ||
| 626ca41 | LA PACIENCIA ES LA ALFOMBRA ROJA POR LA QUE SE ACERCA A NOSOTROS LA GRACIA DE DIOS. | Max Lucado | ||
| bb3e1a6 | Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go. JOSHUA 1:9 | Max Lucado | ||
| e8bd9e3 | Don't worry about skills you don't have. Don't covet strengths others do have. Just extract your uniqueness. | Max Lucado | ||
| bf098fa | Next time you're in the car, take a look at the stoplights. Use them to help you remember to live for God. On red, remember that Jesus' blood takes away our sins. On yellow, be careful about what you do and say. And on green, praise God every chance you get. | Max Lucado | ||
| 1a6379b | We are at our best when we are giving. In fact, we are most like God when we are giving. | Max Lucado | ||
| 2b48566 | Since he bore the sin of the murderer and adulterer, he felt the shame of the murderer and adulterer. Though he never lied, he bore the disgrace of a liar. Though he never cheated, he felt the embarrassment of a cheater. Since he bore the sin of the world, he felt the collective shame of the world. | Max Lucado | ||
| cfad412 | Every desirable and beneficial gift comes out of heaven. The gifts are rivers of light cascading down from the Father of Light" (James 1:17 MSG)." | Max Lucado | ||
| 1fad309 | You can talk to God because God listens. Always. | Max Lucado | ||
| e55e432 | What did the torn curtain mean? For the Jews it meant no more barrier between them and the Holy of Holies. No more priests to go between them and God. No more animal sacrifices to atone for their sins. | Max Lucado | ||
| 0b7f917 | 8But God shows his great love for us in this way: Christ died for us while we were still sinners. | Max Lucado | ||
| 2afa1f1 | In 1900 the average person living in the United States wanted seventy-two different things and considered eighteen of them essential. Today the average person wants five hundred things and considers one hundred of them essential. | Max Lucado | ||
| 92322dd | And for us? What did the torn curtain signify for us? We are welcome to enter into God's presence--any day, any time. God has removed the barrier that separates us from him. The barrier of sin? Down. He has removed the curtain. | Max Lucado | ||
| 9de8432 | And sometimes, no, oftentimes, we allow those mistakes to keep us from God. Our guilty conscience becomes a curtain that separates us from God. As a result we hide from our Master. | Max Lucado | ||
| 702abcd | Nothing is enough for the man to whom enough is too little. | Max Lucado | ||
| ce4f9b0 | After Christ's sacrifice there would be no more need to shed blood. He "once for all took blood into that inner room, the Holy of Holies, and sprinkled it on the mercy seat; but it was not the blood of goats and calves. No, he took his own blood, and with it he, by himself, made sure of our eternal salvation" (Heb. 9:12 TLB)." | Max Lucado | ||
| 15eaad3 | Practically put, we love our neighbor and refrain from gossip. We refuse to cheat on taxes and spouses and do our best to love people who are tough to love. Do we do this in order to be saved? No. These are "the good things that result from being saved." | Max Lucado | ||
| b5111dc | To others, Jesus was a miracle worker. To others, Jesus was a master teacher. To others, Jesus was the hope of Israel. But to John, he was all of these and more. To John, Jesus was a friend. You don't abandon a friend--not even when that friend is dead. John stayed close to Jesus. | Max Lucado | ||
| a5b3c49 | If so, don't pretend nothing is wrong. Don't pretend you don't fall. Don't try to get back in the game. Go first to God. The first step after a stumble must be in the direction of the cross. "If we confess our sins to God, he can always be trusted to forgive us and take our sins away" (1 John 1:9 CEV)." | Max Lucado | ||
| 25a6294 | The hand squeezing the handle was not a Roman infantryman. The force behind the hammer was not an angry mob. The verdict behind the death was not decided by jealous Jews. Jesus himself chose the nails. | Max Lucado | ||
| abebcf2 | So Jesus himself swung the hammer. The same hand that stilled the seas stills your guilt. The same hand that cleansed the Temple cleanses your heart. The hand is the hand of God. The nail is the nail of God. And as the hands of Jesus opened for the nail, the doors of heaven opened for you. | Max Lucado | ||
| 0e360b7 | Change always brings fear before it brings faith. We always assume the worst before we look for the best. God interrupts our lives with something we've never seen, and rather than praise, we panic! We interpret the presence of a problem as the absence of God and scoot! | Max Lucado | ||
| 4e7dac2 | Celebrate God's goodness. "Rejoice in the Lord always" (v. 4). Ask God for help. "Let your requests be made known to God" (v. 6). Leave your concerns with him. "With thanksgiving . . ." (v. 6). Meditate on good things. "Think about the things that are good and worthy of praise" (v. 8 NCV). Celebrate. Ask. Leave. Meditate." | Max Lucado | ||
| 9a1d32c | It is only when we let go of life as we know it that we discover true life--the glorious plan laid out by God. | Max Lucado | ||
| 9fd395b | Un santo feliz es aquel que es consciente, al mismo tiempo, de la gravedad del pecado y de la inmensidad de la gracia. El pecado no se reduce, ni tampoco la capacidad de Dios para perdonarlo. El santo mora en la gracia, no en la culpa. Asi se define un alma tranquila. | Max Lucado | ||
| 19b07b2 | Everything you say and everything you do should all be done for Jesus your Lord. --COLOSSIANS 3:17 | Max Lucado | ||
| 909f1f3 | Guilt is God's idea. He uses it the way highway engineers use rumble strips. When we swerve off track, they call us back. Guilt does the same. It leaves us "more alive, more concerned, more sensitive, more reverant, more human, more passionate,more responsible." -- | Max Lucado | ||
| eddd60a | Accept teaching from his mouth, and keep his words in your heart. [ Job 22:22 NCV ] | Max Lucado | ||
| cef6439 | God speaks all languages--including yours. What language is God speaking to you? | Max Lucado | ||
| 941aa21 | Only God knows what's around the corner. Maybe we should let him do the driving. | Max Lucado | ||
| 91624b6 | Isaiah 57:1-2: "The good men perish; the godly die before their time, and no one seems to care or wonder why. No one seems to realize that God is taking them away from evil days ahead. For the godly who die shall rest in peace" (TLB)." | Max Lucado | ||
| 8ea2138 | There are certain things no one can do for you. | Max Lucado | ||
