More quotes by Rick Warren
God is always more interested in why we do something than in what we do. Attitudes count more than achievements.
Rick Warren
Those who have hurt you in the past cannot continue to hurt you now unless you hold on to the pain through resentment.
Rick Warren
Anytime you feel jealous or envious, you reject your uniqueness. It's a criticism of God's plan for you.
Rick Warren
We often miss hearing God's voice simply because we aren't paying attention.
Rick Warren
The next sentence is one of the most important spiritual truths you will ever learn: God develops the fruit of the Spirit in your life by allowing you to experience circumstances in which you're tempted to express the exact opposite quality. Character development always involves a choice, and temptation provides that opportunity.
Rick Warren
When you have a major loss in your life, the first thing you need to do is tell God exactly how you feel.
Rick Warren
Salvation is not a religion. It's not rules or regulations or rituals. Salvation is a relationship. That relationship doesn't begin when you get to Heaven it begins here on Earth.
Rick Warren
Much of what happens in our world is evil and bad, but God specializes in bringing good out of it.
Rick Warren
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.
Rick Warren
You'll never do anything creative, innovative or world changing if you fear criticism. Pioneers are easy targets for arrows!
Rick Warren
Without implementation, all of our Bible studies are worthless.
Rick Warren
We must learn to share the gospel in ways that show it is both GOOD and NEWS. The gospel is about what God has done for us and what we can become in Christ
Rick Warren
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
The most essential quality for leadership is not perfection but credibility. People must be able to trust you.
Rick Warren
I don't personally have enough faith to be an atheist.
Rick Warren
HALF of America pays NO taxes. Zero. So they're happy for tax rates to be raised on the other half that DOES pay any taxes.
Rick Warren
If you want God to bless you and use you greatly, you must be willing to walk with a limp the rest of your life, because God uses weak people.
Rick Warren
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
The church must always show compassion, always.
Rick Warren
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
