God teaches us to love by putting some unlovely people around us.
Rick Warren
Image
The Bible is clear that God considers 40 days a spiritually significant time period. Whenever God wanted to prepare someone for his purposes, he took 40 days.

How much are you worth? Jesus says, with his arms stretched out on the cross, I'm willing to die for you, because you mean this much to me.

Jesus measured greatness in terms of service not status. God determines your greatness by how many people you serve, not how many people serve you.
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
Image
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
Image
You must begin with God.
Rick Warren
Image
There's a Grand Designer behind everything. Your life is not a result of random chance, fate, or luck. There is a master plan. History is His story. God is pulling the strings.
Rick Warren
Image
The smile of God is the goal of your life.
Rick Warren
Image
Telling others how they can have eternal life is the greatest thing you can do for them.
Rick Warren
Image
Kindness always starts with noticing the needs and hurts of others.
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
Don't worry about what you don't have if you do have faith!
Rick Warren
Image
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

People are always more encouraged when we share how God's grace helped us in weakness than when we brag about our strengths.
