What happens outwardly in your life is not as important as what happens inside you. Your circumstances are temporary, but your character will last forever.
Rick Warren
Image
Knowing your purpose gives meaning to your life.
Rick Warren
Image
If you want to know why you were placed on the planet, you must begin with God.
Rick Warren
Image
We do not serve a distant and detached God who spouts encouraging cliches safely from the sideline. Instead, he enters into our suffering. Jesus did it in the Incarnation and his Spirit does it in us now. God will never leave us alone in our suffering.
Rick Warren
Image
You'll find success in life when you stop trying to include God in your plans and Instead ask God to include you in His.
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

If you always feel comfortable reading God's Word, you're either not reading ALL of it, or you aren't letting it sink in.
Rick Warren
Image
I believe that the purpose of influence is to speak up for those who have no influence. And fame is not for our own benefit, or notoriety is not for our own benefit, it's for leverage to do good.
Rick Warren
Image
I could imagine God saying to a lot of us, Hey, I'm God, and you're not. You're not the general manager of the universe. And the greatest stress reliever is take God seriously, but don't take yourself seriously.
Rick Warren
Image
There is nothing you can do that will make God stop loving you. You could try, but you simply can't do it - because his love for you is based upon his character and not on anything you do or say or feel.
Rick Warren
Image
We do not have to make the Bible relevant - it already is! But we do have to show its relevance.
Rick Warren
Image
The smile of God is the goal of your life.
Rick Warren
Image
Well, in the first place, military service, they don't call it service for nothing. You are actually serving your country. And it is a worthy and valid vocation.
Rick Warren
Image
The Bible teaches that we are to love people and use money, but we often get that reversed and you start loving money and using people to get more money. Money is simply a tool to be used for good.
Rick Warren
Image
Living for God's glory is the greatest achievement we can accomplish with our lives.
Rick Warren
Image
You may have done some really nifty things in life, but if you think they're going to get you into Heaven, forget it. The only way any of us are going to get in is by receiving God's gift of grace, which is available to every person.
Rick Warren
Image
The Constitution does not guarantee freedom of worship - it guarantees freedom of religion. And this is what I call America's first freedom...
Rick Warren
Image
We're not in control but we do have a greater hope and we do have a source of joy that isn't based on our circumstances.
Rick Warren
Image
The easiest way to discover the purpose of an invention is to ask the creator of it. The same is true for discovering your life's purpose: Ask God.
Rick Warren
Image
We need the value and the beauty of democracy, and the beauty of pluralism is there's a free exchange of ideas. Nobody is right all the time. I'm not right all the time. I don't agree with anybody all the time, and I don't even agree with myself all the time.
Rick Warren
