I don't personally have enough faith to be an atheist.
Rick Warren
Image
There's truth in every religion. Christians believe that there's truth in every religion. But we just believe that there's one savior. We believe we can learn truth - I've learned a lot of truth from different religions. Because they all have a portion of the truth. I just believe there is one savior, Jesus Christ.
Rick Warren
Image
The Bible offers three metaphors that teach us God's view of life: Life is a test, life is a trust, and life is a temporary assignment.
Rick Warren
Image
The most important is to prepare you for eternity.
Rick Warren
Image
Since God intends to make you like Jesus, he will take you through the same experiences Jesus went through. That includes loneliness, temptation, stress, criticism, rejection, and many other problems.
Rick Warren
Image
Lust is raw selfishness. It's all about my wants, my needs, my pleasure. Most love songs are actually lust songs.
Rick Warren
Image
Your spiritual family is even more important than your physical family because it will last forever. Our families on earth are wonderful gifts from God, but they are temporary and fragile, often broken by divorce, distance, growing old, and inevitably, death.
Rick Warren
Image
The key to friendship with God, he said, is not changing what you do, but changing your attitude toward what you do.
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
The greatest gift God gave us is also our greatest curse, which is the free will. We are made in God's image, the Bible says, which means we have the ability to love him or not love him, to reject him or not reject him.
Rick Warren
Image
Failure isn't a character quality. It's just an event. How you respond to failure is your character.
Rick Warren
Image
As long as you pretend to be self-sufficient, you short-circuit God's power in your life. You need to admit your inadequacy and say, God, I can't handle this!
Rick Warren
Image
In every growing church you will find leadership that is not afraid to believe God.
Rick Warren
Image
We're not completely happy here because we're not supposed to be!
Rick Warren
Image
The most common way Jesus comes into our lives is through a broken heart.
Rick Warren
Image
Humility is not thinking less of yourself it is thinking of yourself less. Humility is thinking more of others.
Rick Warren
Image
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
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
Having authority implies accountability. If you reject the blame for failures under your watch, people reject your leadership.
Rick Warren
Image
We are products of our past, but we don't have to be prisoners of it.
Rick Warren
