Image
God is love. He didn't need us. But he wanted us.
Rick Warren
Image
We do not serve a distant and detached God who spouts encouraging cliches safely from the sideline. Instead, he enters into our suffering. Jesus did it in the Incarnation and his Spirit does it in us now. God will never leave us alone in our suffering.
Rick Warren
Image
We are all called to fulfill God's five purposes for our lives: to worship, to fellowship, to grow like Christ, to serve, and to be on mission with God in the world.
Rick Warren
Image
If your activities don't match your priorities, you are wasting your life.
Rick Warren
Image
Most of us want to have enough... good works to get into heaven, but enough bad works to be fun.
Rick Warren
Image
The smile of God is the goal of your life.
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 happen to agree with many of the liberal emphasis on compassion, justice and equality. I just disagree that it's the government's role to provide everything.
Rick Warren
Image
During the next 90 days, people are going to be more open to the Gospel than in years. It is God's responsibility to make people receptive it is our responsibility to sow the seed.
Rick Warren
Image
For God to mend your broken heart you must give him ALL the pieces. You can't hold any back.
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
I do believe that the Kingdom of God is present wherever Jesus is king. That's my definition of the Kingdom of God.
Rick Warren
Image
A non-serving Christian is a contradiction in terms.
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
Telling others how they can have eternal life is the greatest thing you can do for them.
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
There's nothing in your life you can't learn from, if you respond with the right attitude.
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
I'm not looking for peace on earth, though, through a political solution. I'm a pastor.
Rick Warren
Image
Relationships, not achievements or the acquisition of things, are what matters most in life.
