Quote

Jesus measured greatness in terms of service not status. God determines your greatness by how many people you serve, not how many people serve you.

Image
Knowing your purpose gives meaning to your life.
Rick Warren
Image
Unkind people need your kindness the most. They advertise their pain.
Rick Warren
Image
The Bible tells us that there are some things worth fighting for. In fact, the Bible says there's some things worth dying for.
Rick Warren
Image
In deep pain, people don't need logic, advice, encouragement, or even Scripture. They just need you to show up and shut up.
Rick Warren
Image
You are loved by the One who knows you best. God's love will never disappoint you and never give up on you.
Rick Warren
Image
Without a purpose, life is motion without meaning, activity without direction, and events without reason.
Rick Warren
Image
Delays are as much a part of God plan as answered prayers. God wants you to trust him.
Rick Warren
Image
If your God doesn't look like Jesus, we don't worship the same God, sorry.
Rick Warren
Image
You drift through life and let things happen to you, or go by design and say, 'This is what I'm intended to do.' The Bible is very clear that God has a purpose. But even if I know that purpose, I can't fulfill it if I'm out of shape.
Rick Warren
Image
The way God teaches us to live by faith is He takes away our feelings.
Rick Warren
Image
So I would say God hates war, but God loves every soldier.
Rick Warren
Image
If you have ever said, I didn't get anything out of worship today, you worshiped for the wrong reason. Worship isn't for you. It's for God.
Rick Warren
Image
America was built on rugged individualism, and today that has evolved into a culture of narcissism. But God didn't create you to live for you. If you want to follow Jesus, you have to put aside your selfish ambition.
Rick Warren
Image
You can learn from anyone if you know the right questions.
Rick Warren
Image
We get 80 years, maybe at the most 100. Trillions of years in eternity. This life is preparation for the next. This is the warm-up back, this is the dress rehearsal, this is the get ready, this is the first lap around the track before the real race begins because it is in eternity.
Rick Warren
Image
We take ourselves way too seriously, and we don't take God seriously enough. It is not by accident that humor and humility come from the same root word. If you can laugh at yourself, you'll always have plenty of good material.
Rick Warren
Image
A church will never grow beyond its capacity to meet needs.
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.
Rick Warren
Image
If you want to know why you were placed on the planet, you must begin with God.
Rick Warren
Image
Fellowship is a place of grace, where mistakes aren't rubbed in but rubbed out. Fellowship happens when mercy wins over justice.
Rick Warren
