Image
We need the value and the beauty of democracy, and the beauty of pluralism is there's a free exchange of ideas. Nobody is right all the time. I'm not right all the time. I don't agree with anybody all the time, and I don't even agree with myself all the time.
Rick Warren
Image
Don't worry about what you don't have if you do have faith!
Rick Warren
Image
Without a purpose, life is motion without meaning, activity without direction, and events without reason.
Rick Warren
Image
I believe that - love is a choice. I believe that we love, that if I'm forced to love you then I don't know that I've really loved you.
Rick Warren
Image
A non-serving Christian is a contradiction in terms.
Rick Warren

If it grows on a plant, it's healthy. If it's made in a plant, don't eat it.

God's ultimate goal for your life on earth is not comfort, but character development. He wants you to grow up spiritually and become like Christ.

Image
We take ourselves way too seriously, and we don't take God seriously enough. It is not by accident that humor and humility come from the same root word. If you can laugh at yourself, you'll always have plenty of good material.
Rick Warren
Image
For God to mend your broken heart you must give him ALL the pieces. You can't hold any back.
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
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
Image
Through salvation our past has been forgiven, our present is given meaning, and out future is secured.
Rick Warren
Image
You must begin with God.
Rick Warren
Image
We receive from God, then we give to others.

You discover your identity and purpose through a relationship with Jesus Christ.
Rick Warren
Image
Every problem is a character-building opportunity, and the more difficult it is, the greater the potential for building spiritual muscle and moral fiber.
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.

Because God is love, the most important lesson he wants you to learn on earth is how to love.
Rick Warren
