You weren't put on earth to be remembered. You were put here to prepare for eternity.
Rick Warren
Image
Longing for the ideal while criticizing the real is evidence of immaturity. On the other hand, settling for the real without striving for the ideal is complacency. Maturity is living with the tension.
Rick Warren
Image
You drift through life and let things happen to you, or go by design and say, 'This is what I'm intended to do.' The Bible is very clear that God has a purpose. But even if I know that purpose, I can't fulfill it if I'm out of shape.
Rick Warren
Image
You won't step on other's toes if you imagine yourself in their shoes.

Worry is focused thinking on something negative. Meditation is doing the same thing only focusing on God's word instead of your problem.
Rick Warren

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

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
So when you say who does Christ die for? He died for the church, okay. I don't think God's death on the cross through Christ was a failure, if you are saying that. I do not believe that anybody he intended to die for is failing in that area.
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
The only thing that matters is here and the only thing that matters is now. And America's inability to delay gratification is because we do not have eternal thinking.
Rick Warren
Image
Let your broken heart create an open heart
Rick Warren
Image
Only you can be you. God designed each of us so there would be no duplication in the world. No one has the exact same mix of factors that make you unique. That means no one else on earth will ever be able to play the role God planned for you. If you don’t make your unique contribution to the Body of Christ, it won’t be made.
Rick Warren
Image
Those who follow the crowd usually get lost in it.
Rick Warren
Image
Almost nobody gives thanks to God at Thanksgiving, unless there's a short prayer before we eat.
Rick Warren
Image
We get 80 years, maybe at the most 100. Trillions of years in eternity. This life is preparation for the next. This is the warm-up back, this is the dress rehearsal, this is the get ready, this is the first lap around the track before the real race begins because it is in eternity.
Rick Warren
Image
Growing marriages aren't determined by how much you have in common but by how graciously you deal with your differences.
Rick Warren
Image
Without implementation, all of our Bible studies are worthless.
Rick Warren
Image
The Bible says that evil cannot be negotiated with. It has to just be stopped.
Rick Warren
