If your activities don't match your priorities, you are wasting your life.
Rick Warren
Image
Your spiritual family is even more important than your physical family because it will last forever. Our families on earth are wonderful gifts from God, but they are temporary and fragile, often broken by divorce, distance, growing old, and inevitably, death.
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
God's ultimate goal for your life on earth is not comfort, but character development. He wants you to grow up spiritually and become like Christ.
Rick Warren
Image
The Bible is clear that God considers 40 days a spiritually significant time period. Whenever God wanted to prepare someone for his purposes, he took 40 days.
Rick Warren
Image
Growing marriages aren't determined by how much you have in common but by how graciously you deal with your differences.
Rick Warren
Image
You drift through life and let things happen to you, or go by design and say, 'This is what I'm intended to do.' The Bible is very clear that God has a purpose. But even if I know that purpose, I can't fulfill it if I'm out of shape.
Rick Warren

God's Word is not meant just to inform you, but to transform you.
Rick Warren
Image
Why is this happening to me? Why am I having such a difficult time? One answer is that life is supposed to be difficult! It’s what enables us to grow. Remember, earth is not heaven!
Rick Warren
Image
Great people are just ordinary people with an extraordinary amount of determination. They simply don't know how to quit. They just keep on 'keepin' on'.
Rick Warren
Image
As long as you pretend to be self-sufficient, you short-circuit God's power in your life. You need to admit your inadequacy and say, God, I can't handle this!
Rick Warren
Image
Jesus modeled a purpose-driven life, and he taught others how to live it, too. That was the work that brought glory to God.
Rick Warren
Image
At the end of your life on earth you will be evaluated and rewarded according to how well you handled what God entrusted to you.
Rick Warren
Image
I never have been involved in politics.
Rick Warren
Image
You must match your music to the kind of people God wants your church to reach.... The music you use 'positions' your church in your community. It defines who you are.... It will determine the kind of people you attract, the kind of people you keep, and the kind of people you lose.
Rick Warren
Image
You'll never do anything creative, innovative or world changing if you fear criticism. Pioneers are easy targets for arrows!
Rick Warren
Image
Don't worry about what you don't have if you do have faith!
Rick Warren
Image
Irrelevance happens when the speed of change outside an organization is greater than speed of change inside an organization.
Rick Warren
Image
Worry is really just a form of atheism. Every time you worry, you're acting like an atheist. You're saying, It all depends on me. That's just not in the Bible.
Rick Warren
Image
We are products of our past, but we don't have to be prisoners of it.
Rick Warren
