I'm looking for a second reformation. The first reformation of the church 500 years ago was about beliefs. This one is going to be about behavior. The first one was about creeds. This one is going to be about deeds. It is not going to be about what does the church believe, but about what is the church doing.

Two thousand years ago, in the Middle East, an event occurred that permanently changed the world. Because of that event, history was split. Every time you write a date, you’re using the Resurrection of Jesus Christ as the focal point.
Rick Warren
Image
Christians can be positive even in a negative situation because we know God has a purpose for allowing that problem.
Rick Warren

Building friendships with people from dissimilar backgrounds and diverse perspectives will make you wiser and more creative.
Rick Warren

If we condone torture, we yield the moral high ground to our enemies and encourage anyone who hates us to stoop to using that subhuman level against us. We reap whatever we sow.
Rick Warren
Image
Three enemies that will weaken your ministry over time: Self-indulgence, bitterness, and carelessness. Strong people discipline their desires, restrain their reactions, and keep their commitments.
Rick Warren

Living to create an earthly legacy is a short-sighted goal.
Rick Warren
Image
In the end we must be merciful to the fallen, show grace to struggling, and be patient with the doubting. But when God's Word is clear we must not-and we cannot-back up, back off, back down, back out, or backslide from the truth.
Rick Warren

The most common mistake Christians make in worship today is seeking an experience rather than seeking God
Rick Warren
Image
God intentionally allows you to go through painful experiences to equip you for ministry to others.
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
If you have felt hopeless, hold on! Wonderful changes are going to happen in your life as you begin to live it on purpose.
Rick Warren
Image
I'm not looking for peace on earth through a political solution. I'm a pastor. The Bible talks about three kinds of peace. There is peace with God. There's the peace of God. And there's peace with each other.
Rick Warren
Image
Almost nobody gives thanks to God at Thanksgiving, unless there's a short prayer before we eat.
Rick Warren
Image
There is no growth without change, no change without fear or loss and no loss without pain.
Rick Warren
Image
The antidote to the lust of the flesh is integrity.
Rick Warren
Image
Longing for the ideal while criticizing the real is evidence of immaturity. On the other hand, settling for the real without striving for the ideal is complacency. Maturity is living with the tension.
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
When you use your life for God's glory, everything you do can become an act of worship
Rick Warren
Image
We're a nation of laws, but the good thing about America, is that laws reside in the people and people can change the laws.
