You can like somebody without agreeing with all of their policies.
Rick Warren
Image
If we condone torture, we yield the moral high ground to our enemies and encourage anyone who hates us to stoop to using that subhuman level against us. We reap whatever we sow.
Rick Warren
Image
When real revival happens, it changes the moral climate of a community...because we've turned from our wicked ways.
Rick Warren
Image
We receive from God, then we give to others.
Rick Warren
Image
Emphasize reconciliation, not resolution. It is unrealistic to expect everyone to agree about everything. Reconciliation focuses on the relationship, while resolution focuses on the problem. When we focus on reconciliation, the problem loses significance and often becomes irrelevant.
Rick Warren
Image
A father, finding time for what is most important is the true marker of a successful person.
Rick Warren
Image
Every temptation is an offer to doubt God's love and wisdom.
Rick Warren

Leadership starts with understanding responsibility, not ability. Leadership is a Stewardship, not a show.
Rick Warren

Worry is really just a form of atheism. Every time you worry, you're acting like an atheist. You're saying, It all depends on me. That's just not in the Bible.
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
When I am playing with my grandchildren, that brings glory to God. So I don't think glory to God is simply serious. I do think that there is glory of God in laughter.
Rick Warren
Image
Hiding your hurt only intensifies it. Problems grow in the dark and only become bigger and bigger, but when exposed to the light of truth, they shrink. You are only as sick as your secrets. So take off your mask, stop pretending you're perfect and walk into freedom.
Rick Warren
Image
We are healed to help others. We are blessed to be a blessing. We are saved to serve, not to sit around and wait for heaven.
Rick Warren
Image
Those who follow the crowd usually get lost in it.
Rick Warren
Image
The Bible says that evil cannot be negotiated with. It has to just be stopped.
Rick Warren
Image
A pretentious, showy life is an empty life a plain and simple life is a full life.
Rick Warren
Image
You measure a church's strength, not by its seating capacity but by its sending capacity.
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.
Rick Warren
Image
I've always said the shoes must never tell the foot how big to be.
Rick Warren
