Image
Your spiritual family is even more important than your physical family because it will last forever. Our families on earth are wonderful gifts from God, but they are temporary and fragile, often broken by divorce, distance, growing old, and inevitably, death.
Rick Warren
Image
Every problem is a character-building opportunity, and the more difficult it is, the greater the potential for building spiritual muscle and moral fiber.
Rick Warren
Image
So I would say God hates war, but God loves every soldier.
Rick Warren
Image
I don't personally have enough faith to be an atheist.
Rick Warren
Image
Hiding your hurt only intensifies it. Problems grow in the dark and only become bigger and bigger, but when exposed to the light of truth, they shrink. You are only as sick as your secrets. So take off your mask, stop pretending you're perfect and walk into freedom.
Rick Warren
Image
Your most profound and intimate experiences of worship will likely be in your darkest days - when your heart is broken, when you feel abandoned, when your out of options, when the pain is great - and you turn to God alone.
Rick Warren

Rick Warren
Image
The church that doesn't want to grow is saying to the world, go to hell.
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
The most desired gift of love is not diamonds or roses or chocolate. It's focused attention.
Rick Warren
Image
We take ourselves way too seriously, and we don't take God seriously enough. It is not by accident that humor and humility come from the same root word. If you can laugh at yourself, you'll always have plenty of good material.
Rick Warren
Image
Because God is love, the most important lesson he wants you to learn on earth is how to love.
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
Humility is not thinking less of yourself it is thinking of yourself less. Humility is thinking more of others.
Rick Warren
Image
Living for God's glory is the greatest achievement we can accomplish with our lives.
Rick Warren
Image
If you try to serve people, it impresses them. If you try to impress people it irritates them.
