Our goal is to make God look good in the universe.
Rick Warren
Image
People need fewer 'ought-to' sermons, and more 'how-to' sermons. The deepest kind of teaching is that which makes a difference in people's day-to-day lives. Jesus spoke to the crowd with an interesting style. When God's Word is taught in an uninteresting way, people don't just think the pastor is boring, they think God is boring!

Everybody wants confidence but you don't find it in self help books. You find confidence in the Holy Spirit.
Rick Warren
Image
Faith in Jesus must be personal but it cannot be private.
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).
Rick Warren
Image
While it is wise to learn from experience, it is wiser to learn from the experiences of others.
Rick Warren

Kindness always starts with noticing the needs and hurts of others.
Rick Warren

The Bible says that God puts government on earth to punish evildoers. Not good-doers. Evildoers.

The smile of God is the goal of your life.
Rick Warren
Image
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
Image
Leadership starts with understanding responsibility, not ability. Leadership is a Stewardship, not a show.
Rick Warren
Image
Building friendships with people from dissimilar backgrounds and diverse perspectives will make you wiser and more creative.
Rick Warren
Image
In 35 yrs of leading I've been afraid at every major step but I DID IT ANYWAY since I REFUSE let fear run my life.
Rick Warren
Image
You won't step on other's toes if you imagine yourself in their shoes.
Rick Warren
Image
The fact is, ministry is too unpredictable to be motivated by security. It’s too unprofitable to be motivated by money. It’s too demanding to be motivated by pleasure, and it’s too criticized to be motivated by fame. Our ministry should be motivated by the pleasure of God, and God is pleased when we have a ministry powered by faith.
Rick Warren
Image
What is your assurance of salvation? The promise of God's Word. If God says it, that settles it, because God cannot lie. You can trust the promise of God's Word.
Rick Warren
Image
Now, what is Jesus Christ? The fruit of the spirit is a good example. Jesus is total love, total joy, total peace, total patient, gentleness, goodness, faithfulness, meekness, and self-control.
Rick Warren
Image
I don't personally have enough faith to be an atheist.
Rick Warren
Image
Even through such simple acts as telling the truth, being kind, and encouraging others, we bring a smile to God's face.
Rick Warren
Image
Without God, life has no purpose, and without purpose, life has no meaning. Without meaning, life has no significance or hope.
Rick Warren
