Let your broken heart create an open heart
Rick Warren
Image
To make the best use of your life, you must never forget two truths: First, compared with eternity, life is extremely brief. Second, earth is only a temporary residence. You won't be here long, so don't get too attached.
Rick Warren
Image
America was built on rugged individualism, and today that has evolved into a culture of narcissism. But God didn't create you to live for you. If you want to follow Jesus, you have to put aside your selfish ambition.
Rick Warren
Image
Your birth was no mistake or mishap, and your life is no fluke of nature. Your parents may not have planned you, but God did. He was not at all surprised by your birth. In fact, he expected it.
Rick Warren
Image
I have always been blessed with an enormous amount of energy. And so I didn't take care of my health at all.
Rick Warren
Image
Many believe one can be a good Christian without joining (or even attending) a local church, but God would strongly disagree.
Rick Warren
Image
Faith is facing reality without being discouraged by it.
Rick Warren
Image
To begin loving people today, we must close the door on the past. And that cannot happen without forgiveness! Forgive those who have hurt you - for your sake, not because they deserve it.
Rick Warren
Image
Heartless praise is not praise at all. It is worthless and an insult to God.
Rick Warren
Image
God teaches us to love by putting some unlovely people around us.
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
I think one day Madonna's going to say Jesus is Lord, one day Muhammad is going to say Jesus is Lord, Hitler will say Jesus is Lord.
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
Every problem is a character-building opportunity, and the more difficult it is, the greater the potential for building spiritual muscle and moral fiber.
Rick Warren
Image
There is one thing that motivates me. It is the global glory of God. I am first and foremost a missionary. I am an evangelist and a missionary.
Rick Warren
Image
Telling others how they can have eternal life is the greatest thing you can do for them.
Rick Warren
Image
Christianity is not a religion or a philosophy, but a relationship and a lifestyle. The core of that lifestyle is thinking of others, as Jesus did, instead of ourselves.
Rick Warren
Image
If your activities don't match your priorities, you are wasting your life.
Rick Warren
Image
The Bible teaches that we are to love people and use money, but we often get that reversed and you start loving money and using people to get more money. Money is simply a tool to be used for good.
Rick Warren
Image
A pretentious, showy life is an empty life a plain and simple life is a full life.
Rick Warren
