I could imagine God saying to a lot of us, Hey, I'm God, and you're not. You're not the general manager of the universe. And the greatest stress reliever is take God seriously, but don't take yourself seriously.
Rick Warren

A person without conviction is a weak, jellyfish type of individual who mindlessly follows the crowd.
Rick Warren
Image
God's Word is not meant just to inform you, but to transform you.

Living for God's glory is the greatest achievement we can accomplish with our lives.
Rick Warren

I believe what Irenaeus said - the glory of God is a human being fully alive.
Rick Warren

If your God doesn't look like Jesus, we don't worship the same God, sorry.
Rick Warren

The Bible says that God puts government on earth to punish evildoers. Not good-doers. Evildoers.
Rick Warren

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
In Psalm 72, Solomon prays for power and fame but he says the purpose of influence is to speak up for others and one is the immigrant. He doesn't delineate between legal and illegal.

Much of what happens in our world is evil and bad, but God specializes in bringing good out of it.
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
One day it's all going to be clear. It's all going to make sense. You're going to be able to say, So that's why God allowed that in my life! Until then, God wants you to trust him.
Rick Warren
Image
The only thing that matters is here and the only thing that matters is now. And America's inability to delay gratification is because we do not have eternal thinking.
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
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
The smile of God is the goal of your life.
Rick Warren
Image
We may not always finish what we start but God always finishes what He starts.
Rick Warren
Image
A father, finding time for what is most important is the true marker of a successful person.
Rick Warren
Image
Lasting love extends grace. No relationship will make it without grace. The Bible tells us that this is part of love. You're not going to have a relationship unless you have forgiveness, mercy, patience, acceptance, grace. You've got to cut people some slack.
