Quote

Salvation is not a religion. It's not rules or regulations or rituals. Salvation is a relationship. That relationship doesn't begin when you get to Heaven it begins here on Earth.

Image
Christmas is the time for celebration, so I'm not against decorating, putting on lights, buying gifts. In fact, the whole reason we give gifts is the wise men gave gifts to Jesus at the first Christmas, and that started the gift-giving process.
Rick Warren
Image
You can learn from anyone if you know the right questions.
Rick Warren
Image
Blessed are the uncool for they shall be happy without needing the approval of others.
Rick Warren
Image
Gods plan isn't a map for your life that you see all at once, but a scroll unrolled a little at a time.
Rick Warren
Image
We're not in control but we do have a greater hope and we do have a source of joy that isn't based on our circumstances.
Rick Warren
Image
War is and always has been a brutal exercise that destroys lives, families and communities. It is never something for which we hope.
Rick Warren
Image
Never procrastinate in showing love. Don't delay. Don't put it off. Do it now.
Rick Warren
Image
Having authority implies accountability. If you reject the blame for failures under your watch, people reject your leadership.
Rick Warren
Image
Accidents are just incidents in God's good plan for you.
Rick Warren
Image
Most of the time, it's your thinking, not your talent, that holds you back.
Rick Warren
Image
In deep pain, people don't need logic, advice, encouragement, or even Scripture. They just need you to show up and shut up.
Rick Warren
Image
The fact is, ministry is too unpredictable to be motivated by security. It’s too unprofitable to be motivated by money. It’s too demanding to be motivated by pleasure, and it’s too criticized to be motivated by fame. Our ministry should be motivated by the pleasure of God, and God is pleased when we have a ministry powered by faith.
Rick Warren
Image
The way God teaches us to live by faith is He takes away our feelings.
Rick Warren
Image
A church must grow larger and smaller at the same time. Larger through worship and smaller through small groups.
Rick Warren
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
In Eden, worship was not an event to attend, but a perpetual attitude.
Rick Warren
Image
I'm not a policymaker, I'm not a pundit. In fact, I don't have any interest in it. It's not on my agenda.
Rick Warren
Image
All leaders are learners. The moment you stop learning, you stop leading. I learn as much as I can, from as many as I can, as often as I can.
Rick Warren
Image
At most, you will live a hundred years on earth, but you will spend forever in eternity.
Rick Warren
Image
That's one of those questions I'm asked more often than anything else. Will my dog go to heaven? And I say well, the lion will lay down with the lamb.
