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
A pretentious, showy life is an empty life a plain and simple life is a full life.
Rick Warren
Image

Without implementation, all of our Bible studies are worthless.
Rick Warren
Image
What matters is not the duration of your life, but the donation of it.
Rick Warren
Image
We take ourselves way too seriously, and we don't take God seriously enough. It is not by accident that humor and humility come from the same root word. If you can laugh at yourself, you'll always have plenty of good material.
Rick Warren
Image
I have the greater glory of God, the history is His story, that He is in charge and ultimately He knows what He's doing.
Rick Warren
Image
Jesus is knocking at your door. Take hold of the better life by letting him into your life. Make him the boss of your life. It'll change everything.
Rick Warren
Image
The purpose of influence is to speak up for those who have no influence. (Pr.31:8) It's not about you.
Rick Warren
