You do not grow stronger by accident - you grow stronger by intention.
Rick Warren
Image
The greatest use of your words is prayer. Talk to God about EVERYTHING, all the time. Maintain a running conversation.
Rick Warren
Image
Well, in the first place, military service, they don't call it service for nothing. You are actually serving your country. And it is a worthy and valid vocation.
Rick Warren
Image
I'm looking for a second reformation. The first reformation of the church 500 years ago was about beliefs. This one is going to be about behavior. The first one was about creeds. This one is going to be about deeds. It is not going to be about what does the church believe, but about what is the church doing.
Rick Warren
Image
We receive from God, then we give to others.
Rick Warren
Image
If your activities don't match your priorities, you are wasting your life.
Rick Warren
Image
Start today by practicing constant conversation with God and continual mediation on his Word. Prayer lets you speak to God mediation lets God speak to you.
Rick Warren
Image
People need fewer 'ought-to' sermons, and more 'how-to' sermons. The deepest kind of teaching is that which makes a difference in people's day-to-day lives. Jesus spoke to the crowd with an interesting style. When God's Word is taught in an uninteresting way, people don't just think the pastor is boring, they think God is boring!

Your most effective ministry will come out of your deepest hurts.
Rick Warren
Image
Three enemies that will weaken your ministry over time: Self-indulgence, bitterness, and carelessness. Strong people discipline their desires, restrain their reactions, and keep their commitments.
Rick Warren
Image
Those who follow the crowd usually get lost in it. I don't know all the keys to success, but one key to failure is to try to please everyone.
Rick Warren
Image
Having authority implies accountability. If you reject the blame for failures under your watch, people reject your leadership.
Rick Warren
Image
Relationships, not achievements or the acquisition of things, are what matters most in life.
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
Explanations don't comfort. You won't feel better if you know why. It won't hurt any less.
Rick Warren
Image
God's Word is your owner's manual for life. It contains principles for health, finance, marriage, other relationships, business, and much more.
Rick Warren
Image
There is nothing you can do that will make God stop loving you. You could try, but you simply can't do it - because his love for you is based upon his character and not on anything you do or say or feel.
Rick Warren
Image
We're a nation of laws, but the good thing about America, is that laws reside in the people and people can change the laws.
Rick Warren
Image
Life is a series of problem-solving opportunities. The problems you face will either defeat you or develop you depending on how you respond to them.
Rick Warren
Image
You must begin with God.
Rick Warren
