Quote

You may have done some really nifty things in life, but if you think they're going to get you into Heaven, forget it. The only way any of us are going to get in is by receiving God's gift of grace, which is available to every person.

You don't have to be famous to be great.
Rick Warren

There is nothing you can do that will make God stop loving you. You could try, but you simply can't do it - because his love for you is based upon his character and not on anything you do or say or feel.
Rick Warren
Image
Keep your hope in the Lord and your eyes focused on the hope of Heaven, not just on the here and now.
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
Living to create an earthly legacy is a short-sighted goal.
Rick Warren
Image
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
Image
Three enemies that will weaken your ministry over time: Self-indulgence, bitterness, and carelessness. Strong people discipline their desires, restrain their reactions, and keep their commitments.
Rick Warren
Image
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.
Rick Warren
Image
I believe Jesus Christ came for everybody. I don't think he came for Christians. The Bible says take this good news to the whole world.

Much of what happens in our world is evil and bad, but God specializes in bringing good out of it.
