We are created for community, fashioned for fellowship, and formed for a family, and none of us can fulfill God's purposes by ourselves.
Rick Warren

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
Blessed are the uncool for they shall be happy without needing the approval of others.
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
Pride builds walls between people, humility builds bridges.
Rick Warren
Image
A church will never grow beyond its capacity to meet needs.
Rick Warren
Image
Character is both developed and revealed by tests, and all of life is a test.
Rick Warren
Image
A church must grow larger and smaller at the same time. Larger through worship and smaller through small groups.
Rick Warren
