People need fewer 'ought-to' sermons, and more 'how-to' sermons. The deepest kind of teaching is that which makes a difference in people's day-to-day lives. Jesus spoke to the crowd with an interesting style. When God's Word is taught in an uninteresting way, people don't just think the pastor is boring, they think God is boring!

Knowing your purpose gives meaning to your life.
Rick Warren
Image
If you want God to bless you and use you greatly, you must be willing to walk with a limp the rest of your life, because God uses weak people.
Rick Warren
Image

Without the grace of Jesus: a hopeless end. With the grace of Jesus: an endless hope.
Rick Warren
Image
Worry is focused thinking on something negative. Meditation is doing the same thing only focusing on God's word instead of your problem.
Rick Warren
Image
We take ourselves way too seriously, and we don't take God seriously enough. It is not by accident that humor and humility come from the same root word. If you can laugh at yourself, you'll always have plenty of good material.
Rick Warren
Image
Your commitments can develop you or destroy you, but either way, they will define you.
Rick Warren
