Confession is the act of inviting God to walk the acreage of our hearts. “There is a rock of greed over here, Father. I can’t budge it. And that tree of guilt near the fence? Its roots are long and deep. And may I show you some dry soil, too crusty for seed?” God’s seed grows better if the soil of the heart is cleared.

God is able to accomplish, provide, help, save, keep, subdue... He is able to do what you can't. He already has a plan. God's not bewildered. Go to Him.

God will use your mess for good. We see a perfect mess; God sees a perfect chance to train, test , and teach.

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.

What to change your life? Begin by saying, "The Lord is my shepherd."

Our society is just less open to platitudes, more open to stories.

His is a joy which consequences cannot quench. His is a peace which circumstances cannot steal.
