Because God is with you all the time, no place is any closer to God than the place where you are right now.
Rick Warren
Image
Racism is stupid. It’s an insult to God, arrogantly implying that God goofed-up when he chose to make us all different.
Rick Warren
Image
You must begin with God.
Rick Warren

I was trying to point out I'm not opposed to gays having their partnership. I'm opposed to gays using the term marriage for their relationship.
Rick Warren

I think we live in a pluralistic society where we have to get along with each other and show common grace to each other.
Rick Warren

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.

I'm looking for a second reformation. The first reformation of the church 500 years ago was about beliefs. This one is going to be about behavior. The first one was about creeds. This one is going to be about deeds. It is not going to be about what does the church believe, but about what is the church doing.
Rick Warren

When Jesus started His ministry, the very first thing He did was form a small group.
Rick Warren
Image
You may have done some really nifty things in life, but if you think they're going to get you into Heaven, forget it. The only way any of us are going to get in is by receiving God's gift of grace, which is available to every person.
Rick Warren
Image
Not everything in this life has a happy ending, but this life is not the end of the story.
Rick Warren
Image
The church that doesn't want to grow is saying to the world, go to hell.
Rick Warren
Image
Time is your most precious gift, because you only have a set amount of it.
Rick Warren
Image
Heartless praise is not praise at all. It is worthless and an insult to God.
Rick Warren
Image
A person without conviction is a weak, jellyfish type of individual who mindlessly follows the crowd.
Rick Warren
Image
Biblical convictions are essential for spiritual growth and maturity. What is ironic today is that people often have strong convictions about weak issues (football, fashion, etc.) while having weak convictions about major issues (what is right and what is wrong).

There is an entire generation who was too young to read 'The Purpose Driven Life' 10 years ago but are now asking the critical question, 'What on earth am I here for?'
