Be Honest — Honest to God By PASTOR Max Lucado
Prayer really is simple. Resist the urge to complicate it. Don’t take
pride in well-crafted prayers. Don’t apologize for incoherent prayers.
No games. No cover-ups. Just be honest—honest to God.
Climb into His lap.
Climb into His lap.
Tell Him everything that’s on your heart. Or tell Him nothing at all. Just lift your heart to heaven and declare, “Father. . .Daddy.” Stress. Fear.
Guilt. Grief. Demands on all sides.
And all we can summon is a plaintive, “Oh, Father.” If so, that’s
enough. Your heavenly Father will wrap you in His arms.
It is well

Discharged From Prison By Pastor Max Lucado
Have you ever heard of a discharged prisoner who wanted to stay? Nor have I. When the doors open, prisoners leave! The thought of a person preferring jail over freedom doesn’t compute. Once the penalty is paid, why live under bondage? You are discharged from the penitentiary of sin. Why, in heaven’s name, would you ever want to set foot in prison again?
The Apostle Paul reminds us in Romans 6:6-7, “Our old life died with Christ on the cross so that our sinful selves would have no power over us and we would not be slaves to sin.”
He is not saying it is impossible for believers to sin; he’s just saying it’s stupid for believers to sin. What does the prison have that you desire? Do you miss the guilt? Are you homesick for dishonesty? Was life better when you were dejected and rejected? It makes no sense to go back to prison!

The Test of Love By Pastor Max Lucado
Romans 5:8 says, “God shows his great love for us in this way. Christ died for us while we were still sinners.”
A friend of mine tells of the man who set out to adopt a troubled teenage girl. One would question the father’s logic. The girl was destructive, disobedient and dishonest. One day she ransacked the house looking for money. By the time he arrived, she was gone and the house was in shambles. Friends urged him not to finalize the adoption. “Let her go,” they said. “After all, she’s not really your daughter.” His response was simply, “Yes, I know. But I told her she was.”
God, too, has made a covenant to adopt his people. It’s one thing to love us when we’re strong, obedient and willing. But when we ransack his house and steal what is his? This is the test of love. And God passes the test
