There is no growth without change, no change without fear or loss and no loss without pain.
Rick Warren

Jesus said, I am the way to heaven. I'm betting that he's not a liar. I'm betting that he told the truth.
Rick Warren
Image

Rick Warren
Image
Delays are as much a part of God plan as answered prayers. God wants you to trust him.
Rick Warren
Image
The instructor is always silent when the test is given... ...When God is silent in your life... You are being tested.
Rick Warren
Image
Hiding your hurt only intensifies it. Problems grow in the dark and only become bigger and bigger, but when exposed to the light of truth, they shrink. You are only as sick as your secrets. So take off your mask, stop pretending you're perfect and walk into freedom.
Rick Warren
Image
Forgiveness must be immediate, whether or not a person asks for it. Trust must be rebuilt over time. Trust requires a track record. If someone hurts you repeatedly, you are commanded by God to forgive them instantly, but you are not expected to trust them immediately, and you are not expected to continue allowing them to hurt you.
Rick Warren
Image
Time is your most precious gift, because you only have a set amount of it.
Rick Warren
Image
In deep pain, people don't need logic, advice, encouragement, or even Scripture. They just need you to show up and shut up.
Rick Warren
Image
God wants to use you to make a difference in His world. He wants to work through you. What matters is not the duration of your life, but the donation of it. Not how long you lived, but how you lived.
Rick Warren
Image
Your illness is not your identity. Your chemistry is not your character.
Rick Warren
Image
Every problem is a character-building opportunity, and the more difficult it is, the greater the potential for building spiritual muscle and moral fiber.
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
Life minus love equals zero.
Rick Warren
Image
God is more interested in your character than your comfort. God is more interested in making your life holy than He is in making your life happy.
Rick Warren
Image
You are loved by the One who knows you best. God's love will never disappoint you and never give up on you.
Rick Warren
Image
If God was small enough for you to completely understand him, he wouldn't be big enough for you to completely trust him.
Rick Warren
Image
If a pastor focuses only on teaching, he grows members with big ears and rears but tiny hands and hearts.Service is MODELED not taught.
Rick Warren
Image
The greatest gift God gave us is also our greatest curse, which is the free will. We are made in God's image, the Bible says, which means we have the ability to love him or not love him, to reject him or not reject him.

The mission of Tom Peterson and Catholics Come Home to bring souls home to Jesus and the church is critically important during this challenging time in our history. I fully support this New Evangelization project.
