Growing marriages aren't determined by how much you have in common but by how graciously you deal with your differences.
Rick Warren
Image
Those who follow the crowd usually get lost in it. I don't know all the keys to success, but one key to failure is to try to please everyone.
Rick Warren

Character is both developed and revealed by tests, and all of life is a test.
Rick Warren

One of the ways we reflect God's love and bring him glory is to accept each other just as he accepts us. This means we accept others' quirks and look past their faults in order to see a person created in the image of God.
Rick Warren

If others don't use their gifts, you get cheated, and if you dont use your gifts, they get cheated.

I'm looking for a second reformation. The first reformation of the church 500 years ago was about beliefs. This one is going to be about behavior. The first one was about creeds. This one is going to be about deeds. It is not going to be about what does the church believe, but about what is the church doing.

God wants to use you to make a difference in His world. He wants to work through you. What matters is not the duration of your life, but the donation of it. Not how long you lived, but how you lived.
Rick Warren
Image
Jesus modeled a purpose-driven life, and he taught others how to live it, too. That was the work that brought glory to God.
Rick Warren
Image
You may have done some really nifty things in life, but if you think they're going to get you into Heaven, forget it. The only way any of us are going to get in is by receiving God's gift of grace, which is available to every person.
Rick Warren
Image
Most of the time, it's your thinking, not your talent, that holds you back.
Rick Warren
Image
Some people are going to have to die or leave.
Rick Warren
Image
If you always feel comfortable reading God's Word, you're either not reading ALL of it, or you aren't letting it sink in.
Rick Warren
Image
The purpose of your life fits into a much larger, cosmic purpose that God has designed for eternity.
Rick Warren
Image
The most common mistake Christians make in worship today is seeking an experience rather than seeking God
Rick Warren

Life is a gift... Life is a test... Life is temporary assignment.
Rick Warren

Life is a series of problem-solving opportunities. The problems you face will either defeat you or develop you depending on how you respond to them.
