Rick Warren

Salvation is not a religion. It's not rules or regulations or rituals. Salvation is a relationship. That relationship doesn't begin when you get to Heaven it begins here on Earth.
Rick Warren
Image
Racism is stupid. It’s an insult to God, arrogantly implying that God goofed-up when he chose to make us all different.
Rick Warren
Image
Nothing else you do will ever matter as much as helping people establish an eternal relationship with God.
Rick Warren
Image
I believe that - love is a choice. I believe that we love, that if I'm forced to love you then I don't know that I've really loved you.
Rick Warren
Image
Life minus love equals zero.
Rick Warren
Image
If you prayed as much as you worry, you'd have nothing to worry about.
Rick Warren
Image
Through salvation our past has been forgiven, our present is given meaning, and out future is secured.
Rick Warren
Image
On Thanksgiving we do just everything except give thanks. We eat, we watch football, we have a good time with family. Almost nobody gives thanks to God at Thanksgiving, unless there's a short prayer before we eat.

The race to be a leader is crowded, but the field is wide open for those willing to be servants
