Life minus love equals zero.
Rick Warren
Image
We get 80 years, maybe at the most 100. Trillions of years in eternity. This life is preparation for the next. This is the warm-up back, this is the dress rehearsal, this is the get ready, this is the first lap around the track before the real race begins because it is in eternity.
Rick Warren
Image
Pain is the fuel of passion - it energizes us with an intensity to change that we don't normally possess.
Rick Warren
Image
You've got a lot to look forward to in Heaven. Compared to what's in store for you in Heaven, your current pain and problems are petty.
Rick Warren
Image
God made every one of us a sexual being, and that is good. Attraction and arousal are the natural, spontaneous, God-given responses to physical beauty, while lust is a deliberate act of the will.
Rick Warren
Image
Trusting God completely means having faith that he knows what is best for your life. You expect him to keep his promises, help you with problems, and do the impossible when necessary.
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
There's not a person on earth that God doesn't love, but God wants us to learn to love him back.
Rick Warren
Image
There is nothing quite as potent as a focused life, one lived on purpose.
Rick Warren
Image
If you want God to bless you and use you greatly, you must be willing to walk with a limp the rest of your life, because God uses weak people.
Rick Warren
Image
Heartless praise is not praise at all. It is worthless and an insult to God.
Rick Warren
Image
War is and always has been a brutal exercise that destroys lives, families and communities. It is never something for which we hope.
Rick Warren
Image
What matters is not the duration of your life, but the donation of it.
Rick Warren
Image
Since God intends to make you like Jesus, he will take you through the same experiences Jesus went through. That includes loneliness, temptation, stress, criticism, rejection, and many other problems.
Rick Warren
Image
Blessed are the uncool for they shall be happy without needing the approval of others.
Rick Warren
Image
The greatest use of your words is prayer. Talk to God about EVERYTHING, all the time. Maintain a running conversation.
Rick Warren
Image
God's mercy to us is the motivation for showing mercy to others. Remember, you will never be asked to forgive someone else more than God has forgiven you.
Rick Warren
Image
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.

You can learn from anyone if you know the right questions.

Life is too short to learn everything by personal experience.
