Rick Warren

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

Image
We are not saved by good works we are saved for good works. The Christian lifestyle is to be a lifestyle of goodness.

Servants think of ministry as an opportunity, not an obligation. They enjoy helping people, meeting needs, and doing ministry.
Rick Warren
Image
There is no growth without change, and there is no change without loss.
