More quotes by Rick Warren
God specializes in giving people a fresh start.
Rick Warren
You discover your identity and purpose through a relationship with Jesus Christ.
Rick Warren
Your birth was no mistake or mishap, and your life is no fluke of nature. Your parents may not have planned you, but God did. He was not at all surprised by your birth. In fact, he expected it.
Rick Warren
I invite you to bow your head and quietly whisper the prayer that will change your eternity: Jesus I believe in you and I receive you.
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
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
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
Character is both developed and revealed by tests, and all of life is a test.
Rick Warren
The Constitution does not guarantee freedom of worship - it guarantees freedom of religion. And this is what I call America's first freedom...
Rick Warren
Fellowship is a place of grace, where mistakes aren't rubbed in but rubbed out. Fellowship happens when mercy wins over justice.
Rick Warren
Surrender . . .sacrificing my life or suffering in order to change what needs to be changed
Rick Warren
You can't make a life without making mistakes. Relax and learn something
Rick Warren
The Bible says that governments can do things that I'm not supposed to do as an individual. God has not put the law in my hands. He's put the law in the government's hands.
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
Nothing else you do will ever matter as much as helping people establish an eternal relationship with God.
Rick Warren
The only thing that matters is here and the only thing that matters is now. And America's inability to delay gratification is because we do not have eternal thinking.
Rick Warren
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
While we wait for God to work for us, God is waiting to work through us.
Rick Warren
What matters is not the duration of your life, but the donation of it.
Rick Warren
Almost nobody gives thanks to God at Thanksgiving, unless there's a short prayer before we eat.
Rick Warren
