Rick Warren
Image
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
Image
Lust is raw selfishness. It's all about my wants, my needs, my pleasure. Most love songs are actually lust songs.

Rick Warren
Image
We do not serve a distant and detached God who spouts encouraging cliches safely from the sideline. Instead, he enters into our suffering. Jesus did it in the Incarnation and his Spirit does it in us now. God will never leave us alone in our suffering.
Rick Warren
Image
We always get into trouble when we doubt God's love, because when we don't trust him, we don't obey him.
Rick Warren
Image
Life is too short to learn everything by personal experience.
Rick Warren
Image
If you don't live by priorities, you'll live by pressures. Either you determine what's important in life or other people will determine it for you.
Rick Warren
Image
After learning to love God (worship), learning to love others is the second purpose of your life.
Rick Warren
Image
We often miss hearing God's voice simply because we aren't paying attention.
Rick Warren
Image
Your net worth is not the same thing as your self-worth. Your value is not based on your valuables.
Rick Warren
Image
In Psalm 72, Solomon prays for power and fame but he says the purpose of influence is to speak up for others and one is the immigrant. He doesn't delineate between legal and illegal.
