Who are you going to live for - yourself or 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

Rick Warren

Rick Warren
Image
We receive from God, then we give to others.
Rick Warren
Image
We do not serve a distant and detached God who spouts encouraging cliches safely from the sideline. Instead, he enters into our suffering. Jesus did it in the Incarnation and his Spirit does it in us now. God will never leave us alone in our suffering.
Rick Warren
Image
You don't have to compromise convictions to be compassionate.
Rick Warren
Image
The truth is, almost everything we do is done poorly when we first start doing it – that’s how we learn.
Rick Warren
Image
Accidents are just incidents in God's good plan for you.
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
Temptation always starts in your mind, not in circumstances.
Rick Warren
