I'm a pastor of a local church. I'm not a televangelist. I've never had a televised program. I'm a pastor. A pastor's role is to care and comfort, encourage, teach, and everything that I do, even when I meet with world leaders, is from a pastor's heart.

Rick Warren
Image
God wanted us to choose to love him.
Rick Warren
Image
People ask me, Are you right wing or are you left wing? and I always say, I'm for the whole bird. A one-winged bird didn't ever get off the ground.
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
You do not grow stronger by accident - you grow stronger by intention.
Rick Warren
Image
If you prayed as much as you worry, you'd have nothing to worry about.
Rick Warren
