God is much more concerned about your character than your career, because you will take your character into eternity, but not your career.
Rick Warren
Image
Great opportunities are often disguised as small acts of service.
Rick Warren
Image
The truth is, almost everything we do is done poorly when we first start doing it – that’s how we learn.
Rick Warren
Image
When you have a major loss in your life, the first thing you need to do is tell God exactly how you feel.
Rick Warren
Image
Christianity is not a religion or a philosophy, but a relationship and a lifestyle. The core of that lifestyle is thinking of others, as Jesus did, instead of ourselves.
Rick Warren
Image
You're not really ready to live unless you know what you're willing to die for.
Rick Warren
Image
Your abilities are the map to God's will for your life. It points the direction. When you know what you're good at, then you can know what God wants you to do with your life.
Rick Warren
Image
You measure a church's strength, not by its seating capacity but by its sending capacity.
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.

I'm not a policymaker, I'm not a pundit. In fact, I don't have any interest in it. It's not on my agenda.
Rick Warren
Image
If your activities don't match your priorities, you are wasting your life.
Rick Warren
Image
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
Where the grass is greener, the water bill is bigger.
Rick Warren
Image
Hiding your hurt only intensifies it. Problems grow in the dark and only become bigger and bigger, but when exposed to the light of truth, they shrink. You are only as sick as your secrets. So take off your mask, stop pretending you're perfect and walk into freedom.
Rick Warren
Image
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.
Rick Warren
Image
Faith is choosing and believing God's dream for your life. Nothing starts happening in your life until you start dreaming. God gave you the ability to dream, to create, to imagine.
Rick Warren
Image
Through salvation our past has been forgiven, our present is given meaning, and out future is secured.
Rick Warren
Image
Your birth was no mistake or mishap, and your life is no fluke of nature. Your parents may not have planned you, but God did. He was not at all surprised by your birth. In fact, he expected it.
Rick Warren
Image
Emphasize reconciliation, not resolution. It is unrealistic to expect everyone to agree about everything. Reconciliation focuses on the relationship, while resolution focuses on the problem. When we focus on reconciliation, the problem loses significance and often becomes irrelevant.
Rick Warren

You are as close to God as you choose to be.
