Your home is your giant-size privilege, your towering priority.

Don't see yourself as a product of your parents DNA, but rather as a brand new idea from heaven.

Scripture often reminds us that it's not enough to have ears - we must use them.

I don't have any desire to retire in the sense of not doing anything. Because as long as the Lord gives me strength I want to keep writing and keep preaching. I love what I 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.
