Image
Faith is facing reality without being discouraged by it.
Rick Warren
Image
Even through such simple acts as telling the truth, being kind, and encouraging others, we bring a smile to God's face.
Rick Warren
Image
People need fewer 'ought-to' sermons, and more 'how-to' sermons. The deepest kind of teaching is that which makes a difference in people's day-to-day lives. Jesus spoke to the crowd with an interesting style. When God's Word is taught in an uninteresting way, people don't just think the pastor is boring, they think God is boring!

The miracle of Christmas is not on 34th street it's in Bethlehem.
Rick Warren
Image
Anytime you feel jealous or envious, you reject your uniqueness. It's a criticism of God's plan for you.
Rick Warren
Image
Instead of focusing on that unappeasable person, refocus on Jesus, who accepts you unconditionally.
Rick Warren
Image
Genesis 50:20 applies to every area of life.
Rick Warren
Image
If it grows on a plant, it's healthy. If it's made in a plant, don't eat it.
Rick Warren
Image
Remember how far you've come, not just how far you have to go. You are not where you want to be, but neither are you where you used to be.
Rick Warren
Image
But no one who is lost has lost one ounce of value to God. Even if you don't have a relationship with him, you have immense value to God.
Rick Warren
Image
Fellowship is a place of grace, where mistakes aren't rubbed in but rubbed out. Fellowship happens when mercy wins over justice.
Rick Warren
Image
The way you see your life shapes your life.
Rick Warren
Image
Servants think of ministry as an opportunity, not an obligation. They enjoy helping people, meeting needs, and doing ministry.
Rick Warren
Image
I believe in the separation of church and state, but I do not believe in the separation of politics from religion.
Rick Warren
Image
I don't believe my interpretation's inerrant. I don't believe anybody else's interpretation is inerrant, but I do believe the scripture is inerrant. I believe in the plenary, verbal plenary inspiration of scripture, without a doubt.
Rick Warren
Image
Failure isn't a character quality. It's just an event. How you respond to failure is your character.
Rick Warren
Image
As long as you pretend to be self-sufficient, you short-circuit God's power in your life. You need to admit your inadequacy and say, God, I can't handle this!
Rick Warren
Image
Since God intends to make you like Jesus, he will take you through the same experiences Jesus went through. That includes loneliness, temptation, stress, criticism, rejection, and many other problems.
Rick Warren
Image
What matters is not the duration of your life, but the donation of it.
Rick Warren
Image
For God to mend your broken heart you must give him ALL the pieces. You can't hold any back.
Rick Warren
