Image
What surprises me most about God is that the creator of the universe should want a relationship with me.
Rick Warren
Image
There are many different kinds of doubt. When we doubt the future, we call it worry. When doubt other people we call is suspicion. When we doubt ourselves we call it inferiority. When we doubt God we call it unbelief. When we doubt what we hear on television we call it intelligence! When we doubt everything we call it cynicism or skepticism.
Rick Warren
Image
While you're waiting, God's working.
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
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

I can't get my wife to agree with me on everything or my kids to agree with everything.

The only really happy people are those who have learned how to serve.
Rick Warren
Image
I do believe in what I call the stewardship of influence as well as the stewardship of affluence. And that is you use whatever God gives you not for your own benefit, but use it to help people who have no benefit. And when you use whatever God gives you, he gives you more of it. When you use it well, he gives you more of it.

Life is too short to learn everything by personal experience.
Rick Warren
Image
Jesus said, I am the way to heaven. I'm betting that he's not a liar. I'm betting that he told the truth.
Rick Warren
Image
Receiving, reading, researching, remembering, and reflecting on the Word of God are all useless if we fail to put what we learn into practice.
Rick Warren
Image
Love pays attention. Love listens to the fears and the doubts of others and treats them with respect. Love accepts others the way Jesus accepts you.
Rick Warren
Image
I first start with weep with those who weep, rejoice with those who rejoice, be sympathetic, show tenderness and brotherly kindness.
Rick Warren
Image
There are accidental parents, but there are no accidental children. There are illegitimate parents, but there are no illegitimate children.
Rick Warren
Image
There is no growth without change, no change without fear or loss and no loss without pain.
Rick Warren
Image
Start today by practicing constant conversation with God and continual mediation on his Word. Prayer lets you speak to God mediation lets God speak to you.
Rick Warren
Image
The only way you can serve God is by serving other people.
Rick Warren
Image
Temptation always starts in your mind, not in circumstances.
Rick Warren
Image
If you talked to others the way you talk to yourself, would you have any friends?
Rick Warren
Image
Every temptation is an offer to doubt God's love and wisdom.
Rick Warren
