Rick Warren

Rick Warren
Image
Jesus is knocking at your door. Take hold of the better life by letting him into your life. Make him the boss of your life. It'll change everything.
Rick Warren
Image
We are all called to fulfill God's five purposes for our lives: to worship, to fellowship, to grow like Christ, to serve, and to be on mission with God in the world.
Rick Warren
Image
I have the greater glory of God, the history is His story, that He is in charge and ultimately He knows what He's doing.
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
A father, finding time for what is most important is the true marker of a successful person.
Rick Warren
Image
God is far more interested in what you are than who you are.
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
