Your net worth is not the same thing as your self-worth. Your value is not based on your valuables.
Rick Warren

One of the ways we reflect God's love and bring him glory is to accept each other just as he accepts us. This means we accept others' quirks and look past their faults in order to see a person created in the image of God.

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
You must match your music to the kind of people God wants your church to reach.... The music you use 'positions' your church in your community. It defines who you are.... It will determine the kind of people you attract, the kind of people you keep, and the kind of people you lose.
Rick Warren
Image
I was trying to point out I'm not opposed to gays having their partnership. I'm opposed to gays using the term marriage for their relationship.
Rick Warren
Image
Everybody's got a worldview. Everybody's betting their life on something. ... You just better know why you're betting what you're betting on.
Rick Warren
Image
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
I don't personally have enough faith to be an atheist.
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.
