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
A church must grow larger and smaller at the same time. Larger through worship and smaller through small groups.
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
So when you say who does Christ die for? He died for the church, okay. I don't think God's death on the cross through Christ was a failure, if you are saying that. I do not believe that anybody he intended to die for is failing in that area.
Rick Warren
Image
When you win, don't swagger. When you lose, don't sulk.
Rick Warren
Image
In the end we must be merciful to the fallen, show grace to struggling, and be patient with the doubting. But when God's Word is clear we must not-and we cannot-back up, back off, back down, back out, or backslide from the truth.
Rick Warren
Image
You can like somebody without agreeing with all of their policies.
Rick Warren
Image
After learning to love God (worship), learning to love others is the second purpose of your life.
Rick Warren
Image
Trusting God completely means having faith that he knows what is best for your life. You expect him to keep his promises, help you with problems, and do the impossible when necessary.
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
Biblical convictions are essential for spiritual growth and maturity. What is ironic today is that people often have strong convictions about weak issues (football, fashion, etc.) while having weak convictions about major issues (what is right and what is wrong).
Rick Warren
Image
You must begin with God.
Rick Warren
Image
What is your assurance of salvation? The promise of God's Word. If God says it, that settles it, because God cannot lie. You can trust the promise of God's Word.
Rick Warren
Image
Resentment always hurts you more than the person you resent.
Rick Warren
Image
Temptation always starts in your mind, not in circumstances.
Rick Warren
Image
The miracle of Christmas is not on 34th street it's in Bethlehem.
Rick Warren
Image
Life minus love equals zero.
Rick Warren
Image
I don't believe my interpretation's inerrant. I don't believe anybody else's interpretation is inerrant, but I do believe the scripture is inerrant. I believe in the plenary, verbal plenary inspiration of scripture, without a doubt.
Rick Warren
Image
The first step to becoming what God made you to be is to stop worrying about what others want you to be.
Rick Warren
Image
People need fewer 'ought-to' sermons, and more 'how-to' sermons. The deepest kind of teaching is that which makes a difference in people's day-to-day lives. Jesus spoke to the crowd with an interesting style. When God's Word is taught in an uninteresting way, people don't just think the pastor is boring, they think God is boring!
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
