There's truth in every religion. Christians believe that there's truth in every religion. But we just believe that there's one savior. We believe we can learn truth - I've learned a lot of truth from different religions. Because they all have a portion of the truth. I just believe there is one savior, Jesus Christ.
Rick Warren
Image
Our hope is a certainty based on the truths that God is in complete control of our universe and that He loves us.
Rick Warren

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

Rick Warren
Image
Explanations don't comfort. You won't feel better if you know why. It won't hurt any less.
Rick Warren
Image
Great people are just ordinary people with an extraordinary amount of determination. They simply don't know how to quit. They just keep on 'keepin' on'.
Rick Warren
