Thoughts from Max Lucado

Live the Life

 “I am a voice calling out in the desert.”  John 1:23

John was a voice for Christ with more than his voice. His life matched his words. When a person’s ways and words are the same, the fusion is explosive. But when a person says one thing and lives another, the result is destructive. People will know we are Christians, not because we bear the name, but because we live the life.

Nearer Than You Think

 “Whoever is wise will . . . think about the love of the Lord.”  Psalm 107:43

Aging? A necessary process to pass on to a better world.

Death? Merely a brief passage, a tunnel . . .

The next time you find yourself alone in a dark alley facing the undeniables of life, don’t cover them with a blanket, or ignore them with a nervous grin. Don’t turn up the TV and pretend they aren’t there. Instead, stand still, whisper God’s name, and listen. He is nearer than you think.
