Image
The closer you live to God, the smaller everything else appears.
Rick Warren
Image
People are always more encouraged when we share how God's grace helped us in weakness than when we brag about our strengths.
Rick Warren
Image
We're not in control but we do have a greater hope and we do have a source of joy that isn't based on our circumstances.
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
There is no growth if there is no change. There is no change if there is no loss. There is no loss if there is no pain.
Rick Warren
Image
Life is a school and problems are the curriculum.
Rick Warren
Image
I believe that the purpose of influence is to speak up for those who have no influence. And fame is not for our own benefit, or notoriety is not for our own benefit, it's for leverage to do good.
Rick Warren
Image
Your value is not determined by your valuables, and God says the most valuable things in life are not things!
Rick Warren
Image
If someone broke your heart it doesn't mean you should build a wall around it and quit loving. Redirect your love.
Rick Warren
Image
There's a Grand Designer behind everything. Your life is not a result of random chance, fate, or luck. There is a master plan. History is His story. God is pulling the strings.
Rick Warren
Image
When real revival happens, it changes the moral climate of a community...because we've turned from our wicked ways.
Rick Warren
Image
We do not serve a distant and detached God who spouts encouraging cliches safely from the sideline. Instead, he enters into our suffering. Jesus did it in the Incarnation and his Spirit does it in us now. God will never leave us alone in our suffering.
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
Living by faith isn't living with certainty. It's trusting God in spite of unanswered questions and unresolved doubts.
Rick Warren
Image
God does not owe me an explanation for what He does in my life. And if I am looking for that to feel better about my suffering, then I'm not going to get it.
Rick Warren
Image
God hates loneliness, and community is God's answer to loneliness. When we walk alongside other people, we find a community where we learn how to love.
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
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

If a pastor focuses only on teaching, he grows members with big ears and rears but tiny hands and hearts.Service is MODELED not taught.
Rick Warren

After learning to love God (worship), learning to love others is the second purpose of your life.
Rick Warren
