I don't get asked a lot of questions about who is the best political candidate or what my position is on what the Senate is about to do.

I think you could say every pastor is writing this book, Max on Life; for many it just never gets published. All I did was collect a few of the questions I've been asked through the years, write up a brief response and put them in this publication.

I'm protective of the reputation of Christ and the church.

If you are 8 hours a day in a job you hate, you're not going to be a very good spouse; it can contribute to chemical dependency, financial mismanagement.

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.

You are the only you God made... God made you and broke the mold.

Truth can arrive within the story and ride latent - a bit incognito - within a story, and people are more prone to receive it.
