The next sentence is one of the most important spiritual truths you will ever learn: God develops the fruit of the Spirit in your life by allowing you to experience circumstances in which you're tempted to express the exact opposite quality. Character development always involves a choice, and temptation provides that opportunity.

God doesn't intend for you to handle all the pain and stress in your life by yourself. We were wired for each other. We need each other.

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
Image
Many believe one can be a good Christian without joining (or even attending) a local church, but God would strongly disagree.
Rick Warren
Image
The church must always show compassion, always.
Rick Warren

I just think the Internet has made us ruder.
Rick Warren
Image
I'm not looking for peace on earth through a political solution. I'm a pastor. The Bible talks about three kinds of peace. There is peace with God. There's the peace of God. And there's peace with each other.
Rick Warren

Don't let your net worth determine your self worth.
Rick Warren

I happen to know people who are followers of Christ in other religions.

The closer you live to God, the smaller everything else appears.

Life is a school and problems are the curriculum.
Rick Warren

The Bible teaches that we are to love people and use money, but we often get that reversed and you start loving money and using people to get more money. Money is simply a tool to be used for good.
Rick Warren
