More quotes by Rick Warren

Image
Unkind people need your kindness the most. They advertise their pain.
Rick Warren
Image
Jesus is knocking at your door. Take hold of the better life by letting him into your life. Make him the boss of your life. It'll change everything.
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
Real life begins by committing yourself completely to Jesus Christ.
Rick Warren
Image
Building friendships with people from dissimilar backgrounds and diverse perspectives will make you wiser and more creative.
Rick Warren
Image
So when you say who does Christ die for? He died for the church, okay. I don't think God's death on the cross through Christ was a failure, if you are saying that. I do not believe that anybody he intended to die for is failing in that area.
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
God wants to use you to make a difference in His world. He wants to work through you. What matters is not the duration of your life, but the donation of it. Not how long you lived, but how you lived.
Rick Warren
Image
Only you can be you. God designed each of us so there would be no duplication in the world. No one has the exact same mix of factors that make you unique. That means no one else on earth will ever be able to play the role God planned for you. If you don’t make your unique contribution to the Body of Christ, it won’t be made.
Rick Warren
Image
If you talked to others the way you talk to yourself, would you have any friends?
Rick Warren
Image
The instructor is always silent when the test is given... ...When God is silent in your life... You are being tested.
Rick Warren
Image
Pride builds walls between people, humility builds bridges.
Rick Warren
Image
He created the church to meet your five deepest needs: a purpose to live for, people to live with, principles to live by, a profession to live out, and power to live on. There is no other place on earth where you can find all five of these benefits in one place.
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
The closer you live to God, the smaller everything else appears.
Rick Warren
Image
Racism is stupid. It’s an insult to God, arrogantly implying that God goofed-up when he chose to make us all different.
Rick Warren
Image
Long before you were conceived by your parents, you were conceived in the mind of God.
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.

I happen to know people who are followers of Christ in other religions.

You measure a church's strength, not by its seating capacity but by its sending capacity.
Rick Warren
