I was initially taken by how dark in the eyes he was in a photo which peaked my interest until I found this article on disntr.com. When I was an early Christian I had read some of his material, but was never that enthralled with him. I&#8217;ll include a book list, as he&#8217;s been mighty busy and the titles are a bit strange. And I couldn&#8217;t get through his strange prayer video below. And for a Christian there are only two races of importance with God, the race of Adam born into sin belonging to Satan, and the race of Christ, delivered from the slavery of sin and adopted into the family of God through faith in the cross, Christ satisfying God&#8217;s justice, with belief in the resurrection. So any supposed pastor that goes on too much about anything else is a red flag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Books\"><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Max_Lucado\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Books<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>On the Anvil: Being Shaped into God&#8217;s Image<\/em>, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Carol_Stream,_Illinois\">Carol Stream, Illinois<\/a>: <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tyndale_House\">Tyndale House<\/a>, 1985. <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/ISBN_(identifier)\">ISBN<\/a>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Special:BookSources\/978-1-4143-1553-9\"><bdi>978-1-4143-1553-9<\/bdi><\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>No Wonder They Call Him the Savior<\/em>, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/New_York,_New_York\">New York, New York<\/a>: <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Doubleday_(publisher)\">Doubleday Publishing<\/a>, 1986. <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/ISBN_(identifier)\">ISBN<\/a>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Special:BookSources\/978-0-8807-0611-7\"><bdi>978-0-8807-0611-7<\/bdi><\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>God Came Near: Chronicles of the Christ<\/em>, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Portland,_Oregon\">Portland, Oregon<\/a>: <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Random_House\">Multnomah Press<\/a>, 1987. <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/ISBN_(identifier)\">ISBN<\/a>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Special:BookSources\/978-0-8807-0206-5\"><bdi>978-0-8807-0206-5<\/bdi><\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>Six Hours One Friday: Anchoring to the Power of the Cross<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Portland,_Oregon\">Portland, Oregon<\/a>: <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Random_House\">Multnomah Press<\/a>, 1989. <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/ISBN_(identifier)\">ISBN<\/a>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Special:BookSources\/978-0-8807-0314-7\"><bdi>978-0-8807-0314-7<\/bdi><\/a>.<sup><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Max_Lucado#cite_note-15\">[15]<\/a><\/sup><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>The Applause of Heaven<\/em>, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Dallas,_Texas\">Dallas, Texas<\/a>: Word Publishing, 1990. <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/ISBN_(identifier)\">ISBN<\/a>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Special:BookSources\/978-0-8499-1324-2\"><bdi>978-0-8499-1324-2<\/bdi><\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>In the Eye of the Storm: A Day in the Life of Jesus<\/em>, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Dallas,_Texas\">Dallas, Texas<\/a>: Word Publishing, 1991. <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/ISBN_(identifier)\">ISBN<\/a>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Special:BookSources\/978-0-8499-4325-6\"><bdi>978-0-8499-4325-6<\/bdi><\/a>.<sup><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Max_Lucado#cite_note-16\">[16]<\/a><\/sup><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>Just In Case You Ever Wonder<\/em>, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Nashville,_Tennessee\">Nashville, Tennessee<\/a>: <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Thomas_Nelson_(publisher)\">Thomas Nelson<\/a>, 1992.

title=\"lucado\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>By Publisher | Jul 29, 2021 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In previous years, Max Lucado, pastor of Oak Hills Church in San Antonio, TX, has always been thought of as a fairly orthodox teacher with a few issues, including a watered-down view of sin and the gospel. Lucado has always been soft on these issues, but in the last few years, he has taken a sharp turn to the left and is embracing a form of spirituality that attempts to bridge the gap between biblical Christianity and progressivism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lucado\u2019s drift began several years ago as he began shifting his views on homosexuality. In 2020, he <a href=\"https:\/\/disntr.com\/2020\/01\/14\/evangelical-pastor-and-author-max-lucado-endorses-pro-gay-jen-hatmaker\/\">gave a glowing endorsement<\/a> of the pro-gay, far-left feminist and professing Christian, Jen Hatmaker. Hatmaker has made&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/disntr.com\/2019\/03\/03\/jen-hatmaker-lgbtq-darlings-young-gaybies-you-are-beloved-by-jesus-and-so-needed\/\">campaigning for the normalization of sexual immorality<\/a>&nbsp;her primary mission in life and has a massive following of lost people who endorse her. To make matters worse, she also partners with pro-abortion political groups to advocate for \u201cwomen\u2019s rights\u201d \u2014 read, abortion rights. Bottom line; Jen Hatmaker is nothing more than a voice for Satan himself disguised as an angel of light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yet, Lucado joined her in a podcast and sanger her praises, stating \u201cI think so highly of you. You energize me,\u201d and \u201cYou bring me in touch with a circle of believers that I might not typically have contact with, you know?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One could argue that Lucado was just trying to be cordial with her, but doesn\u2019t necessarily agree with her views on these issues. But that simply cannot be the case. He referred to Hatmaker and her circle of people as a \u201ccircle of believers\u201d\u2013these people are anything but believers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Further, it wasn\u2019t much longer before Lucado softened up even more on homosexuality. Earlier this year, Lucado <a href=\"https:\/\/disntr.com\/2021\/02\/12\/max-lucado-apologizes-to-lgbtq-for-preaching-against-homosexuality-harming-them\/\">issued an apology to homosexuals<\/a> for previously preaching against their lifestyle. After he was&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/disntr.com\/2021\/02\/09\/max-lucado-compares-holy-spirit-to-woman-calls-him-mother-heart-of-god\/\">invited to speak<\/a>&nbsp;at the Washington National Cathedral, a pro-sodomite professing church, he issued a letter of apology asking for forgiveness for his words which he says \u201chave hurt or been used to hurt the LGBTQ community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFaithful people may disagree about what the Bible says about homosexuality,\u201d Lucado says in the letter, \u201cbut we agree that God\u2019s holy Word must never be used as a weapon to wound others.\u201d He also said that he believes in a \u201cGod of unbounded grace and love\u201d and that \u201cLGBTQ individuals and LGBTQ families must be respected and treated with love\u201d because they are \u201cmade in the image and likeness of God.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To make matters worse, Lucado also preached a heretical view of the Holy Spirit at this same event, referring to the Holy Spirit as a female, referring to Him as \u201cthe mother heart of God.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lucado also takes an unorthodox view of the doctrine of sin and has completely embraced the heretical \u201cwoke\u201d movement. At a <a href=\"https:\/\/disntr.com\/2020\/08\/10\/max-lucado-begs-god-to-forgive-him-for-his-ancestors-owning-slaves-segregation\/\">prayer event that he led in San Antonio<\/a>, Lucado knelt before a crowd of people and begged God to forgive him\u2013him personally\u2013for his ancestors possibly owning slaves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Max Lucado begs forgiveness\" width=\"1290\" height=\"726\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/B34UQkgalf4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Lucado\u2019s continual slide into progressivism is a clear indicator that he is not being sanctified in the truth by God\u2019s word (John 17:17), but rather leading people away from the truth. He should not be considered a reliable Bible teacher by any biblical standard.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Headline article below) Max Lucado is in the news talking about a vision he had when he had a heart problem, so I thought I&#8217;d look into him.
