Quote

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).

Absolutely nothing will revitalize a discouraged church faster than rediscovering it's purpose.
Rick Warren

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.

If someone broke your heart it doesn't mean you should build a wall around it and quit loving. Redirect your love.
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.

A person without conviction is a weak, jellyfish type of individual who mindlessly follows the crowd.
Rick Warren

What we can't do in heaven is sin and witness. And obviously God didn't leave us here to sin.
Rick Warren
Image
Take a human body, a male and a female, it is obvious that certain parts are meant together. There is a purpose and a design for it and there is a result of that.
Rick Warren
Image
Great leaders genuinely care for and love the people they lead more than they love leading itself.
Rick Warren
Image
Living by faith isn't living with certainty. It's trusting God in spite of unanswered questions and unresolved doubts.
Rick Warren
Image
Long before you were conceived by your parents, you were conceived in the mind of God.
Rick Warren
Image
We are products of our past, but we don't have to be prisoners of it.
Rick Warren

While it is wise to learn from experience, it is wiser to learn from the experiences of others.
Rick Warren
Image
We need the value and the beauty of democracy, and the beauty of pluralism is there's a free exchange of ideas. Nobody is right all the time. I'm not right all the time. I don't agree with anybody all the time, and I don't even agree with myself all the time.
Rick Warren
Image
When we place our faith in Christ, God becomes our Father, we become his children, other believers become our brothers and sisters, and the church becomes our spiritual family. The family of God includes all believers in the past, the present, and the future.

Life is a school and problems are the curriculum.
