Max Lucado has a true gift for words. Some of my favorite modern Christian quotes have come from Max Lucado. His quotes are so thought provoking and yet simple. He uses words that paint a picture and make a point. If you haven’t read a book by Max Lucado yet, I would encourage you to pick one up. Here is a list of some of my favorite quotes by Max Lucado.
Featured Max Lucado Quote
“I choose gentleness… Nothing is won by force. I choose to be gentle. If I raise my voice may it be only in praise. If I clench my fist, may it be only in prayer. If I make a demand, may it be only of myself. “
Max Lucado On Faith
“Can you imagine a life with no fear? What if faith, not fear, was your default reaction to threats?”
“Feed your fears and your faith will starve. Feed your faith, and your fears will.”
“Faith is not the belief that God will do what you want. It is the belief that God will do what is right.”
Love Quotes
Max Lucado Quotes On Love
“A woman’s heart should be so hidden in God that a man has to seek Him just to find her.”
“You weren’t an accident. You weren’t mass produced. You aren’t an assembly-line product. You were deliberately planned, specifically gifted, and lovingly positioned on the earth by the Master Craftsman.”
“God loves you just the way you are, but He refuses to leave you that way. He wants you to be just like Jesus. ”
Quotes About Life
“You are the only you God made… God made you and broke the mold. ”
“When you are in the final days of your life, what will you want? Will you hug that college degree in the walnut frame? Will you ask to be carried to the garage so you can sit in your car? Will you find comfort in rereading your financial statement? Of course not. What will matter then will be people. If relationships will matter most then, shouldn’t they matter most now?”
“The past does not have to be your prison. You have a voice in your destiny. You have a say in your life. You have a choice in the path you take.”
“Be a child again. Flirt. Giggle. Dip your cookies in your milk. Take a nap. Say you’re sorry if you hurt someone. Chase a butterfly. Be a child again.”
“Lower your expectations of earth. This isn’t Heaven, so don’t expect it to be.”
God Quotes
“If God had a refrigerator, your picture would be on it. If He had a wallet, your photo would be in it. He sends you flowers every spring and a sunrise every morning… Face it, friend. He is crazy about you! ”
“Nature is God’s first missionary. Where there is no Bible there are sparkling stars. Where there are not preachers there are spring times… If a person has nothing but nature, then nature is enough to reveal something about God.”
“He loves each one of us like there is only one of us to love”
“God rewards those who seek Him. Not those who seek doctrine of religion or systems or creeds. Many settle for these lesser passions, but the reward goes to those who settle for nothing less than Jesus himself. And what is the reward? What awaits those who seek Jesus? Nothing short of the heart of Jesus.”
Max Lucado About Forgiveness
“Forgive and give as if it were your last opportunity. Love like there’s no tomorrow, and if tomorrow comes, love again.”
“Forgiveness is unlocking the door to set someone free and realizing you were the prisoner!”
Quotes For Inspiration
“We see a hearse; we think sorrow. We see a grave; we think despair. We hear of a death; we think of a loss. Not so in heaven. When heaven sees a breathless body, it sees the vacated cocoon & the liberated butterfly.”
“When grace moves in… guilt moves out”
“God wants us to know we are saved, for saved people are dangerous people, willing to face off with the world, unafraid of the consequences since they know that, whatever happens, they will have eternal life.”
“We forget that IMPOSSIBLE is one of God’s favorite words”

Hey Josh. Do you have permission to use these?? We called Max’s church and they would not give us permission to add some of his quotes in the bulletin. We are a small small church and I found this odd.
Thanks for the comment Cindy. I found these quotes all over the web so I think they are okay to use. That is strange that you were not able to use them on a Church bulletin.
Cindy, I’m sure no-one is going to take you to court for using this – its like giving the beggar a bread and expecting money in return.
I love.these quotes so much, I’m planning on reading a Max Lucado book someday.
My favorite Max Lucado quotes is “I CHOOSE GENTLENESS….” l pray God to give me the grace to make words of the quote my lifestyle Amen.
so true, in this day and age its so easy to harden our heart and we forget that Gods power works best through us when we are “weak”.
My fave max lucado quote for sure is “You are valuable because you exist. Not because of what you do or have done, but simply because you are.” (:
