More quotes by Rick Warren
Focusing on ourselves will never reveal our life's purpose.
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
People forget that the church is bigger than China. It speaks more languages than the United Nations. It has more volunteers than all the NGOs in the world put together.
Rick Warren
There is one thing that motivates me. It is the global glory of God. I am first and foremost a missionary. I am an evangelist and a missionary.
Rick Warren
It is never too late to start growing.
Rick Warren
People are always more encouraged when we share how God's grace helped us in weakness than when we brag about our strengths.
Rick Warren
A pretentious, showy life is an empty life a plain and simple life is a full life.
Rick Warren
God wants us to practice on Earth what we're going to do forever in eternity.
Rick Warren
A godly man is never threatened by the gifts of a godly woman.
Rick Warren
Irrelevance happens when the speed of change outside an organization is greater than speed of change inside an organization.
Rick Warren
If it grows on a plant, it's healthy. If it's made in a plant, don't eat it.
Rick Warren
Gods plan isn't a map for your life that you see all at once, but a scroll unrolled a little at a time.
Rick Warren
Every temptation is an offer to doubt God's love and wisdom.
Rick Warren
What matters is not the duration of your life, but the donation of it.
Rick Warren
Failure isn't a character quality. It's just an event. How you respond to failure is your character.
Rick Warren
He created the church to meet your five deepest needs: a purpose to live for, people to live with, principles to live by, a profession to live out, and power to live on. There is no other place on earth where you can find all five of these benefits in one place.
Rick Warren
I've always said the shoes must never tell the foot how big to be.
Rick Warren
Jesus is knocking at your door. Take hold of the better life by letting him into your life. Make him the boss of your life. It'll change everything.
Rick Warren
Forgiveness must be immediate, whether or not a person asks for it. Trust must be rebuilt over time. Trust requires a track record. If someone hurts you repeatedly, you are commanded by God to forgive them instantly, but you are not expected to trust them immediately, and you are not expected to continue allowing them to hurt you.
Rick Warren
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
