Out Live Your LIfe


When you make a difference in someone’s life it changes you on the inside. Your life will affect many people, how you affect them is the big question. “Out Live Your Life” is Max Lucado’s newest book. Now I know what many people think when they read the title of this book. How can I be put front and center and make a name for myself. This book is in no way close to that description.
Using stories of from people around the world Max Lucado show that even you can make a difference where you are today. On page 172 there is a quote that I believe we, as the church, need to listen to over and over again.

“None of us can help everyone, but all of us can help someone. And when we help them, we serve Jesus.”

It is time for us to reach those within our reach and stop looking for only the next big thing as a church. When we come together to make a difference in people’s lives, the very people that we see each day, then we can change the world in the manner in which Jesus did.
I recommend this book to anyone who feel insignificant, worthless, or that they cannot make a difference to people. This is also a great book for small groups to go through together. In the end what will you leave behind, other then what you have done for people around you. Think about it.
