Image
Much of what happens in our world is evil and bad, but God specializes in bringing good out of it.
Rick Warren
Image
The next sentence is one of the most important spiritual truths you will ever learn: God develops the fruit of the Spirit in your life by allowing you to experience circumstances in which you're tempted to express the exact opposite quality. Character development always involves a choice, and temptation provides that opportunity.
Rick Warren
Image
What is your assurance of salvation? The promise of God's Word. If God says it, that settles it, because God cannot lie. You can trust the promise of God's Word.
Rick Warren
Image
Everybody wants confidence but you don't find it in self help books. You find confidence in the Holy Spirit.
Rick Warren
Image
Remember how far you've come, not just how far you have to go.
Rick Warren
Image
When the Christian praises and gives thanks to God, this not only pleases God, but it enriches the Christian's life with joy. It is a reciprocating transaction between God and man.
Rick Warren
Image
In Eden, worship was not an event to attend, but a perpetual attitude.
Rick Warren
Image
At the end of your life on earth you will be evaluated and rewarded according to how well you handled what God entrusted to you.
Rick Warren

Telling others how they can have eternal life is the greatest thing you can do for them.
Rick Warren
Image
To make the best use of your life, you must never forget two truths: First, compared with eternity, life is extremely brief. Second, earth is only a temporary residence. You won't be here long, so don't get too attached.
Rick Warren
Image
The most important is to prepare you for eternity.
Rick Warren
Image
The Bible is clear that God considers 40 days a spiritually significant time period. Whenever God wanted to prepare someone for his purposes, he took 40 days.
Rick Warren
Image
I happen to know people who are followers of Christ in other religions.
Rick Warren
Image
Emphasize reconciliation, not resolution. It is unrealistic to expect everyone to agree about everything. Reconciliation focuses on the relationship, while resolution focuses on the problem. When we focus on reconciliation, the problem loses significance and often becomes irrelevant.
Rick Warren
Image
You won't step on other's toes if you imagine yourself in their shoes.
Rick Warren
Image
God intentionally allows you to go through painful experiences to equip you for ministry to others.
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
It is impossible to do everything people want you to do. You have just enough time to do God’s will. If you can’t get it all done, it means you’re trying to do more than God intended for you to do.
Rick Warren
Image
That's the big difference between Christianity and other religions. The difference between Works and Grace or Do and Done.
Rick Warren
Image
If your activities don't match your priorities, you are wasting your life.
