When you have a major loss in your life, the first thing you need to do is tell God exactly how you feel.

It is never too late to start growing.
Rick Warren

Faith is choosing and believing God's dream for your life. Nothing starts happening in your life until you start dreaming. God gave you the ability to dream, to create, to imagine.
Rick Warren
Image
Without the grace of Jesus: a hopeless end. With the grace of Jesus: an endless hope.
Rick Warren
Image
As long as you pretend to be self-sufficient, you short-circuit God's power in your life. You need to admit your inadequacy and say, God, I can't handle this!
Rick Warren
Image
The fact is, you can say you love God and sing that you trust God and put him first, but your checkbook is where you can show just how much God's grace means to you.
Rick Warren

Most of the time, it's your thinking, not your talent, that holds you back.
Rick Warren
Image
The fact is, ministry is too unpredictable to be motivated by security. It’s too unprofitable to be motivated by money. It’s too demanding to be motivated by pleasure, and it’s too criticized to be motivated by fame. Our ministry should be motivated by the pleasure of God, and God is pleased when we have a ministry powered by faith.

If others don't use their gifts, you get cheated, and if you dont use your gifts, they get cheated.
Rick Warren

When we place our faith in Christ, God becomes our Father, we become his children, other believers become our brothers and sisters, and the church becomes our spiritual family. The family of God includes all believers in the past, the present, and the future.
Rick Warren
Image
The most common way Jesus comes into our lives is through a broken heart.
Rick Warren
Image
God does not owe me an explanation for what He does in my life. And if I am looking for that to feel better about my suffering, then I'm not going to get it.
Rick Warren
Image
You measure a church's strength, not by its seating capacity but by its sending capacity.
Rick Warren
Image
If you're alive, there's a purpose for your life.
Rick Warren
Image
God is much more concerned about your character than your career, because you will take your character into eternity, but not your career.
Rick Warren
Image
Lasting love extends grace. No relationship will make it without grace. The Bible tells us that this is part of love. You're not going to have a relationship unless you have forgiveness, mercy, patience, acceptance, grace. You've got to cut people some slack.
Rick Warren
Image
When the Christian praises and gives thanks to God, this not only pleases God, but it enriches the Christian's life with joy. It is a reciprocating transaction between God and man.
Rick Warren
Image
Obviously there have been historically many different theories of the atonement and I think each of them has a part. But I think fundamentally it is the substitutionary understanding that God - Jesus took our payment and you can't understand.
Rick Warren

The purpose of influence is to speak up for those who have no influence. (Pr.31:8) It's not about you.
Rick Warren
