Image
The way God teaches us to live by faith is He takes away our feelings.
Rick Warren
Image
If someone broke your heart it doesn't mean you should build a wall around it and quit loving. Redirect your love.
Rick Warren
Image
People forget that the church is bigger than China. It speaks more languages than the United Nations. It has more volunteers than all the NGOs in the world put together.
Rick Warren
Image
Don't' call it a failure, call it an education. Some of us are very educated.
Rick Warren
Image
Your commitments can develop you or destroy you, but either way, they will define you.
Rick Warren
Image
We do not have to make the Bible relevant - it already is! But we do have to show its relevance.
Rick Warren
Image
There is an entire generation who was too young to read 'The Purpose Driven Life' 10 years ago but are now asking the critical question, 'What on earth am I here for?'
Rick Warren
Image
Your most profound and intimate experiences of worship will likely be in your darkest days - when your heart is broken, when you feel abandoned, when your out of options, when the pain is great - and you turn to God alone.
Rick Warren
Image
Many people are reluctant to show mercy because they don't understand the difference between trust and forgiveness. Forgiveness is letting go of the past. Trust has to do with future behavior.
Rick Warren
Image
Not everything in this life has a happy ending, but this life is not the end of the story.
Rick Warren
Image
Transformation is a process, and as life happens there are tons of ups and downs. It's a journey of discovery - there are moments on mountaintops and moments in deep valleys of despair.
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
The truth is, almost everything we do is done poorly when we first start doing it – that’s how we learn.
Rick Warren
Image
We are commanded to recognize His glory, honor His glory, declare His glory, praise His glory, reflect His glory, and live for His glory.
Rick Warren
Image
There is nothing quite as potent as a focused life, one lived on purpose.
Rick Warren
Image
Emphasize reconciliation, not resolution. It is unrealistic to expect everyone to agree about everything. Reconciliation focuses on the relationship, while resolution focuses on the problem. When we focus on reconciliation, the problem loses significance and often becomes irrelevant.
Rick Warren
Image
I do believe in what I call the stewardship of influence as well as the stewardship of affluence. And that is you use whatever God gives you not for your own benefit, but use it to help people who have no benefit. And when you use whatever God gives you, he gives you more of it. When you use it well, he gives you more of it.
Rick Warren
Image
Jesus modeled a purpose-driven life, and he taught others how to live it, too. That was the work that brought glory to God.
Rick Warren
Image
You don't bring glory or pleasure to God by hiding your abilities or by trying to be someone else. You only bring him enjoyment by being you.
Rick Warren
Image
What is your assurance of salvation? The promise of God's Word. If God says it, that settles it, because God cannot lie. You can trust the promise of God's Word.
