More quotes by Rick Warren
A pretentious, showy life is an empty life a plain and simple life is a full life.
Rick Warren
Regardless of the cause, none of your problems could happen without God's permission.
Rick Warren
God knows what it's like to lose a son.
Rick Warren
Two thousand years ago, in the Middle East, an event occurred that permanently changed the world. Because of that event, history was split. Every time you write a date, you’re using the Resurrection of Jesus Christ as the focal point.
Rick Warren
Those who follow the crowd usually get lost in it.
Rick Warren
God's Word is not meant just to inform you, but to transform you.
Rick Warren
The race to be a leader is crowded, but the field is wide open for those willing to be servants
Rick Warren
You are as close to God as you choose to be.
Rick Warren
Obviously there have been historically many different theories of the atonement and I think each of them has a part. But I think fundamentally it is the substitutionary understanding that God - Jesus took our payment and you can't understand.
Rick Warren
Love pays attention. Love listens to the fears and the doubts of others and treats them with respect. Love accepts others the way Jesus accepts you.
Rick Warren
The Bible says that governments can do things that I'm not supposed to do as an individual. God has not put the law in my hands. He's put the law in the government's hands.
Rick Warren
Faith is facing reality without being discouraged by it.
Rick Warren
Almost nobody gives thanks to God at Thanksgiving, unless there's a short prayer before we eat.
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
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
There is no growth without change, no change without fear or loss and no loss without pain.
Rick Warren
People ask me, Are you right wing or are you left wing? and I always say, I'm for the whole bird. A one-winged bird didn't ever get off the ground.
Rick Warren
Lasting love extends grace. No relationship will make it without grace. The Bible tells us that this is part of love. You're not going to have a relationship unless you have forgiveness, mercy, patience, acceptance, grace. You've got to cut people some slack.
Rick Warren
God wants to use you to make a difference in His world. He wants to work through you. What matters is not the duration of your life, but the donation of it. Not how long you lived, but how you lived.
Rick Warren
So I would say God hates war, but God loves every soldier.
Rick Warren
