Image
Longing for the ideal while criticizing the real is evidence of immaturity. On the other hand, settling for the real without striving for the ideal is complacency. Maturity is living with the tension.
Rick Warren
Image
I do believe in what I call the stewardship of influence as well as the stewardship of affluence. And that is you use whatever God gives you not for your own benefit, but use it to help people who have no benefit. And when you use whatever God gives you, he gives you more of it. When you use it well, he gives you more of it.
Rick Warren

The point is, there are some things worth dying for. There's no doubt about that. And I would die for my family. I would die for my freedom. I would die for my country.

We are healed to help others. We are blessed to be a blessing. We are saved to serve, not to sit around and wait for heaven.
Rick Warren

Rick Warren
Image
The fact is, you can say you love God and sing that you trust God and put him first, but your checkbook is where you can show just how much God's grace means to you.
Rick Warren
Image
We're going to worship in eternity. So what does God want me to do while we're here on earth? Practice. Practice worshipping.
Rick Warren
Image
During the next 90 days, people are going to be more open to the Gospel than in years. It is God's responsibility to make people receptive it is our responsibility to sow the seed.
Rick Warren

You don't have to compromise convictions to be compassionate.
Rick Warren

We're a nation of laws, but the good thing about America, is that laws reside in the people and people can change the laws.
Rick Warren
Image
Life is a series of problem-solving opportunities. The problems you face will either defeat you or develop you depending on how you respond to them.
Rick Warren
Image
God made every one of us a sexual being, and that is good. Attraction and arousal are the natural, spontaneous, God-given responses to physical beauty, while lust is a deliberate act of the will.
Rick Warren
Image
Gods plan isn't a map for your life that you see all at once, but a scroll unrolled a little at a time.
Rick Warren
Image
Great leaders genuinely care for and love the people they lead more than they love leading itself.

Your spiritual family is even more important than our physical family because it will last forever.
