Key Quotes From Max Lucado
“I was not taught a lot about the Holy Spirit. I don’t fault the little church where I was raised, the small West Texas congregation. I owned a Bible. I could have read about the Holy Spirit, but had you asked me, I could have explained God, the Father and God the Son, but ask me to explain the Holy Spirit and I would have given you a blank stare.”
“I was that pastor who wanted to do everything just right and solve every problem, answer every question, and developed insomnia, stressed out. My wife was depressed, clinically depressed. I was a mess. I couldn’t sleep at night. And that’s when I began to understand John 14 of the Holy Spirit as a friend and a comforter.”
“The Holy Spirit came to me as a friend more with a whisper than a shout, and I began to sense strength in my day-to-day life.”
“My more recent fascination with the Holy Spirit or pursuit of an understanding of the Holy Spirit comes out of a desperation as I look around in society.”
“Given the political climate lately in the last three and four years or five or six years, where churches are really becoming increasingly known for their political stance more than their spiritual position, that was frustrating and continues to be for me…What do we need to revisit? Where do we need to go back as a movement, as a people? Well, the answer to that for anybody who’s read the teachings of Christ, is he sends the disciples back to the upper room and says, ‘Go and wait on the Holy Spirit.’”
