Your birth was no mistake or mishap, and your life is no fluke of nature. Your parents may not have planned you, but God did. He was not at all surprised by your birth. In fact, he expected it.

More quotes by Rick Warren
Many believe one can be a good Christian without joining (or even attending) a local church, but God would strongly disagree.
Rick Warren
If you want to know why you were placed on the planet, you must begin with God.
Rick Warren
Christmas is the time for celebration, so I'm not against decorating, putting on lights, buying gifts. In fact, the whole reason we give gifts is the wise men gave gifts to Jesus at the first Christmas, and that started the gift-giving process.
Rick Warren
I'm not a policymaker, I'm not a pundit. In fact, I don't have any interest in it. It's not on my agenda.
Rick Warren
I don't believe my interpretation's inerrant. I don't believe anybody else's interpretation is inerrant, but I do believe the scripture is inerrant. I believe in the plenary, verbal plenary inspiration of scripture, without a doubt.
Rick Warren
I'm looking for a second reformation. The first reformation of the church 500 years ago was about beliefs. This one is going to be about behavior. The first one was about creeds. This one is going to be about deeds. It is not going to be about what does the church believe, but about what is the church doing.
Rick Warren
While it is wise to learn from experience, it is wiser to learn from the experiences of others.
Rick Warren
Even through such simple acts as telling the truth, being kind, and encouraging others, we bring a smile to God's face.
Rick Warren
If we condone torture, we yield the moral high ground to our enemies and encourage anyone who hates us to stoop to using that subhuman level against us. We reap whatever we sow.
Rick Warren
The most common mistake Christians make in worship today is seeking an experience rather than seeking God
Rick Warren
I think we live in a pluralistic society where we have to get along with each other and show common grace to each other.
Rick Warren
The bible says that all people, not just believers, possess part of the image of God that is why murder and abortion are wrong.
Rick Warren
How much are you worth? Jesus says, with his arms stretched out on the cross, I'm willing to die for you, because you mean this much to me.
Rick Warren
As long as you do things for God, you are a Hall of Famer in heaven's list.
Rick Warren
In deep pain, people don't need logic, advice, encouragement, or even Scripture. They just need you to show up and shut up.
Rick Warren
Many people spend their lives trying to create a lasting legacy on earth. They want to be remembered when they're gone. Yet, what ultimately matters most will not be what others say about your life but what God says.
Rick Warren
Surrender . . .sacrificing my life or suffering in order to change what needs to be changed
Rick Warren
The purpose of your life fits into a much larger, cosmic purpose that God has designed for eternity.
Rick Warren
The Bible says that evil cannot be negotiated with. It has to just be stopped.
Rick Warren
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
