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.

Nothing else you do will ever matter as much as helping people establish an eternal relationship with God.
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
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
At the end of your life on earth you will be evaluated and rewarded according to how well you handled what God entrusted to you.
Rick Warren
Image
Forgiveness must be immediate, whether or not a person asks for it. Trust must be rebuilt over time. Trust requires a track record. If someone hurts you repeatedly, you are commanded by God to forgive them instantly, but you are not expected to trust them immediately, and you are not expected to continue allowing them to hurt you.

Image
For God to mend your broken heart you must give him ALL the pieces. You can't hold any back.
Rick Warren

That's the big difference between Christianity and other religions. The difference between Works and Grace or Do and Done.
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
Not everything in this life has a happy ending, but this life is not the end of the story.
Rick Warren
Image
Having authority implies accountability. If you reject the blame for failures under your watch, people reject your leadership.
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
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.
