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.

Character development always involves a choice, and temptation provides that opportunity.
Rick Warren

The purpose of influence is to speak up for those who have no influence. (Pr.31:8) It's not about you.
Rick Warren
Image
I don't believe my interpretation's inerrant. I don't believe anybody else's interpretation is inerrant, but I do believe the scripture is inerrant. I believe in the plenary, verbal plenary inspiration of scripture, without a doubt.
Rick Warren
Image
Lust is raw selfishness. It's all about my wants, my needs, my pleasure. Most love songs are actually lust songs.

Every temptation is an offer to doubt God's love and wisdom.
