Rick Warren
Image
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

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

You drift through life and let things happen to you, or go by design and say, 'This is what I'm intended to do.' The Bible is very clear that God has a purpose. But even if I know that purpose, I can't fulfill it if I'm out of shape.
Rick Warren

Rick Warren
Image
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
Image
When I am playing with my grandchildren, that brings glory to God. So I don't think glory to God is simply serious. I do think that there is glory of God in laughter.
Rick Warren
Image
There's truth in every religion. Christians believe that there's truth in every religion. But we just believe that there's one savior. We believe we can learn truth - I've learned a lot of truth from different religions. Because they all have a portion of the truth. I just believe there is one savior, Jesus Christ.

Humility is not denying your strengths, humility is being honest about your weaknesses.
Rick Warren
Image
A lie doesn't become truth, wrong doesn't become right and evil doesn't become good, just because it's accepted by a majority.
Rick Warren
Image
