More quotes by 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

The most important is to prepare you for eternity.
Rick Warren
Image
A father, finding time for what is most important is the true marker of a successful person.
Rick Warren
Image
I happen to agree with many of the liberal emphasis on compassion, justice and equality. I just disagree that it's the government's role to provide everything.
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 only way you can serve God is by serving other people.
Rick Warren
Image
If you don't know how to do it, get around someone else who does.
Rick Warren
Image
To me, thinking with the mind of Christ means to be thinking in light of eternity, which is what Colossians is all about and that our lives are hid with Christ in God and that eternity, we're going to spend far more time on the other side of death than this side.
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
Image
God intentionally allows you to go through painful experiences to equip you for ministry to others.
Rick Warren
Image
On Thanksgiving we do just everything except give thanks. We eat, we watch football, we have a good time with family. Almost nobody gives thanks to God at Thanksgiving, unless there's a short prayer before we eat.
Rick Warren
Image
Even through such simple acts as telling the truth, being kind, and encouraging others, we bring a smile to God's face.
Rick Warren
Image
Servants think of ministry as an opportunity, not an obligation. They enjoy helping people, meeting needs, and doing ministry.
Rick Warren
Image
God's mercy to us is the motivation for showing mercy to others. Remember, you will never be asked to forgive someone else more than God has forgiven you.
Rick Warren
Image
Pride builds walls between people, humility builds bridges.
Rick Warren
Image
At most, you will live a hundred years on earth, but you will spend forever in eternity.
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
In all my travels, I've never seen a country's population more determined to forgive, and to build and succeed than in Rwanda.
Rick Warren
Image
God wanted us to choose to love him.

Remember how far you've come, not just how far you have to go.
