Rick Warren

Rick Warren
Image
That's the big difference between Christianity and other religions. The difference between Works and Grace or Do and Done.
Rick Warren
Image
Heartless praise is not praise at all. It is worthless and an insult to God.
Rick Warren
Image
We're going to worship in eternity. So what does God want me to do while we're here on earth? Practice. Practice worshipping.
Rick Warren
Image
I believe what Irenaeus said - the glory of God is a human being fully alive.
Rick Warren
Image
Start today by practicing constant conversation with God and continual mediation on his Word. Prayer lets you speak to God mediation lets God speak to you.
Rick Warren
Image
In Psalm 72, Solomon prays for power and fame but he says the purpose of influence is to speak up for others and one is the immigrant. He doesn't delineate between legal and illegal.
