You never know God is all you need until God is all you have.
Rick Warren
Image
God's mercy to us is the motivation for showing mercy to others. Remember, you will never be asked to forgive someone else more than God has forgiven you.
Rick Warren
Image
It is impossible to do everything people want you to do. You have just enough time to do God’s will. If you can’t get it all done, it means you’re trying to do more than God intended for you to do.
Rick Warren
Image
Americans spend more on beer than they do on books. No wonder their stomachs are bigger than their brains.
Rick Warren
Image
Worship isn't an event to attend & watch. It's a lifestyle to be lived.
Rick Warren
Image
The most important is to prepare you for eternity.
Rick Warren
Image
Because God is love, the most important lesson he wants you to learn on earth is how to love.
Rick Warren
Image
It’s not just what you eat that matters, it’s what eats you. You can have all the right macrobiotics and organic food, but if your body is filled with resentment, worry, fear, lust, guilt, anger, bitterness, or any other emotional disease, it’s going to shorten your life.
Rick Warren

The next sentence is one of the most important spiritual truths you will ever learn: God develops the fruit of the Spirit in your life by allowing you to experience circumstances in which you're tempted to express the exact opposite quality. Character development always involves a choice, and temptation provides that opportunity.
Rick Warren
Image
I believe in the separation of church and state, but I do not believe in the separation of politics from religion.
Rick Warren
Image
The greatest gift God gave us is also our greatest curse, which is the free will. We are made in God's image, the Bible says, which means we have the ability to love him or not love him, to reject him or not reject him.
Rick Warren
Image
There are many different kinds of doubt. When we doubt the future, we call it worry. When doubt other people we call is suspicion. When we doubt ourselves we call it inferiority. When we doubt God we call it unbelief. When we doubt what we hear on television we call it intelligence! When we doubt everything we call it cynicism or skepticism.
Rick Warren
Image
Willpower can produce short-term change, but it creates constant internal stress because you haven't dealt with the root cause.
Rick Warren
Image
The race to be a leader is crowded, but the field is wide open for those willing to be servants
Rick Warren
Image
If we condone torture, we yield the moral high ground to our enemies and encourage anyone who hates us to stoop to using that subhuman level against us. We reap whatever we sow.
Rick Warren
Image
Biblical convictions are essential for spiritual growth and maturity. What is ironic today is that people often have strong convictions about weak issues (football, fashion, etc.) while having weak convictions about major issues (what is right and what is wrong).
Rick Warren
Image
When you use your life for God's glory, everything you do can become an act of worship
Rick Warren
Image
There is nothing quite as potent as a focused life, one lived on purpose.
Rick Warren
Image
Fellowship is a place of grace, where mistakes aren't rubbed in but rubbed out. Fellowship happens when mercy wins over justice.
Rick Warren
Image
Living in light of eternity changes your priorities.
Rick Warren
