More quotes by Rick Warren

Image
People are always more encouraged when we share how God's grace helped us in weakness than when we brag about our strengths.
Rick Warren
Image
Don't worry about what you don't have if you do have faith!
Rick Warren
Image
Get honest with God, and your focus will shift from just seeing your problems - no matter how overwhelming they seem - to the grace of God.
Rick Warren
Image
Christmas is the time for celebration, so I'm not against decorating, putting on lights, buying gifts. In fact, the whole reason we give gifts is the wise men gave gifts to Jesus at the first Christmas, and that started the gift-giving process.
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 miracle of Christmas is not on 34th street it's in Bethlehem.
Rick Warren
Image
The race to be a leader is crowded, but the field is wide open for those willing to be servants
Rick Warren

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
Image
The most desired gift of love is not diamonds or roses or chocolate. It's focused attention.
Rick Warren
Image
You've got a lot to look forward to in Heaven. Compared to what's in store for you in Heaven, your current pain and problems are petty.
Rick Warren
Image
You can only make a difference by being different.
Rick Warren
Image
To make the most of your life you must keep the vision of eternity continually in your mind and the value of it in your heart.
Rick Warren
Image
Who are you going to live for - yourself or God?
Rick Warren
Image
Many people, especially men, feel it is an admission of weakness to ask for help or to express a need. But there is absolutely no shame in needing others.
Rick Warren
Image
A lie doesn't become truth, wrong doesn't become right and evil doesn't become good, just because it's accepted by a majority.
Rick Warren
Image
Those who follow the crowd usually get lost in it. I don't know all the keys to success, but one key to failure is to try to please everyone.
Rick Warren
Image
Christianity is not a religion or a philosophy, but a relationship and a lifestyle. The core of that lifestyle is thinking of others, as Jesus did, instead of ourselves.
Rick Warren
Image
Living for God's glory is the greatest achievement we can accomplish with our lives.
Rick Warren
Image
We need the value and the beauty of democracy, and the beauty of pluralism is there's a free exchange of ideas. Nobody is right all the time. I'm not right all the time. I don't agree with anybody all the time, and I don't even agree with myself all the time.
Rick Warren

Many people spend their lives trying to create a lasting legacy on earth. They want to be remembered when they're gone. Yet, what ultimately matters most will not be what others say about your life but what God says.
Rick Warren
