Image
When God wants to make a mushroom, he does it overnight, but when He wants to make a giant oak, He takes a hundred years. Great souls are grown through struggles and storms and seasons of suffering. Be patient with the process.
Rick Warren
Image
The most common way Jesus comes into our lives is through a broken heart.
Rick Warren
Image
Gods plan isn't a map for your life that you see all at once, but a scroll unrolled a little at a time.
Rick Warren
Image
In every growing church you will find leadership that is not afraid to believe God.
Rick Warren
Image
After learning to love God (worship), learning to love others is the second purpose of your life.
Rick Warren
Image
Through salvation our past has been forgiven, our present is given meaning, and out future is secured.
Rick Warren
Image
The church that doesn't want to grow is saying to the world, go to hell.
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
The world is always changed by people who don't listen to conventional wisdom. I think we often set our goals too small and try to accomplish them too quickly.
Rick Warren
Image
The purpose of your life fits into a much larger, cosmic purpose that God has designed for eternity.
Rick Warren
Image
I'm not looking for peace on earth, though, through a political solution. I'm a pastor.
Rick Warren
Image
What we can't do in heaven is sin and witness. And obviously God didn't leave us here to sin.
Rick Warren
Image
The Bible tells us that there are some things worth fighting for. In fact, the Bible says there's some things worth dying for.
Rick Warren
Image
Living in light of eternity changes your priorities.
Rick Warren
Image
Even through such simple acts as telling the truth, being kind, and encouraging others, we bring a smile to God's face.
Rick Warren
Image
Forgiveness must be immediate, whether or not a person asks for it. Trust must be rebuilt over time. Trust requires a track record. If someone hurts you repeatedly, you are commanded by God to forgive them instantly, but you are not expected to trust them immediately, and you are not expected to continue allowing them to hurt you.
Rick Warren
Image
Without implementation, all of our Bible studies are worthless.
Rick Warren
Image
Life is a gift... Life is a test... Life is temporary assignment.
Rick Warren
Image
You're not really ready to live unless you know what you're willing to die for.
Rick Warren
Image
Your illness is not your identity. Your chemistry is not your character.
Rick Warren
