Image
Never be impressed with charisma. Look for character.
Rick Warren

Salvation is not a religion. It's not rules or regulations or rituals. Salvation is a relationship. That relationship doesn't begin when you get to Heaven it begins here on Earth.
Rick Warren

Some people are going to have to die or leave.
Rick Warren
Image
I'm a pastor of a local church. I'm not a televangelist. I've never had a televised program. I'm a pastor. A pastor's role is to care and comfort, encourage, teach, and everything that I do, even when I meet with world leaders, is from a pastor's heart.
Rick Warren
Image
There's not a person on earth that God doesn't love, but God wants us to learn to love him back.
Rick Warren
Image
You can learn from anyone if you know the right questions.
Rick Warren

War is and always has been a brutal exercise that destroys lives, families and communities. It is never something for which we hope.
Rick Warren
Image
Life is a series of problem-solving opportunities. The problems you face will either defeat you or develop you depending on how you respond to them.
Rick Warren
Image
Pride builds walls between people, humility builds bridges.
