Image
When you jump across a canyon, cautious small steps and vacillation won't work. Sometimes you just have to go for it.
Rick Warren
Image
Help us, oh God, to remember that we are Americans. United not by race or religion or by blood, but to our commitment to freedom and justice for all. When we focus on ourselves, when we fight each other, when we forget you, forgive us.
Rick Warren
Image
Pride builds walls between people, humility builds bridges.
Rick Warren
Image
The Bible tells us that there are some things worth fighting for. In fact, the Bible says there's some things worth dying for.
Rick Warren
Image
One of the ways we reflect God's love and bring him glory is to accept each other just as he accepts us. This means we accept others' quirks and look past their faults in order to see a person created in the image of God.
Rick Warren
Image
We always get into trouble when we doubt God's love, because when we don't trust him, we don't obey him.
Rick Warren
Image
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
Image
God hates loneliness, and community is God's answer to loneliness. When we walk alongside other people, we find a community where we learn how to love.
Rick Warren
Image
One day it's all going to be clear. It's all going to make sense. You're going to be able to say, So that's why God allowed that in my life! Until then, God wants you to trust him.
Rick Warren
Image
Fellowship is a place of grace, where mistakes aren't rubbed in but rubbed out. Fellowship happens when mercy wins over justice.
Rick Warren
Image
Temptation always starts in your mind, not in circumstances.
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!
Rick Warren
Image
Ever feel like God is a million miles away? The truth is, he's not. Whatever struggle you're going through, you can rest assured you're not alone. You have God in your corner.
Rick Warren
Image
All leaders are learners. The moment you stop learning, you stop leading. I learn as much as I can, from as many as I can, as often as I can.
Rick Warren
Image
God's purpose is greater than our problems, our pain and even our sin.
Rick Warren
Image
Accidents are just incidents in God's good plan for you.
Rick Warren
Image
Pain is the fuel of passion - it energizes us with an intensity to change that we don't normally possess.
Rick Warren
Image
We are all called to fulfill God's five purposes for our lives: to worship, to fellowship, to grow like Christ, to serve, and to be on mission with God in the world.
Rick Warren
Image
God is more interested in your character than your comfort. God is more interested in making your life holy than He is in making your life happy.
Rick Warren
Image
Keep your hope in the Lord and your eyes focused on the hope of Heaven, not just on the here and now.
Rick Warren
