More quotes by Rick Warren
The key to friendship with God, he said, is not changing what you do, but changing your attitude toward what you do.
Rick Warren
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
In 35 yrs of leading I've been afraid at every major step but I DID IT ANYWAY since I REFUSE let fear run my life.
Rick Warren
I think we live in a pluralistic society where we have to get along with each other and show common grace to each other.
Rick Warren
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
Never procrastinate in showing love. Don't delay. Don't put it off. Do it now.
Rick Warren
You may have done some really nifty things in life, but if you think they're going to get you into Heaven, forget it. The only way any of us are going to get in is by receiving God's gift of grace, which is available to every person.
Rick Warren
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
The church that doesn't want to grow is saying to the world, go to hell.
Rick Warren
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
The way you see your life shapes your life.
Rick Warren
America was built on rugged individualism, and today that has evolved into a culture of narcissism. But God didn't create you to live for you. If you want to follow Jesus, you have to put aside your selfish ambition.
Rick Warren
Living for God's glory is the greatest achievement we can accomplish with our lives.
Rick Warren
The world is always changed by people who don't listen to conventional wisdom. I think we often set our goals too small and try to accomplish them too quickly.
Rick Warren
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
Take a human body, a male and a female, it is obvious that certain parts are meant together. There is a purpose and a design for it and there is a result of that.
Rick Warren
For God to mend your broken heart you must give him ALL the pieces. You can't hold any back.
Rick Warren
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.
Rick Warren
We're going to serve in eternity. We're not going to sit around on clouds you know this whole idea of heaven is wearing white robes with angels and play a harp. To me, that would be hell. I can't think of anything more boring.
Rick Warren
I'm naturally inclined to have sex with every beautiful woman I see. But that doesn't mean it's the right thing to do.
Rick Warren
