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
Because God is with you all the time, no place is any closer to God than the place where you are right now.

In 35 yrs of leading I've been afraid at every major step but I DID IT ANYWAY since I REFUSE let fear run my life.
Rick Warren

If you have felt hopeless, hold on! Wonderful changes are going to happen in your life as you begin to live it on purpose.
Rick Warren

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.

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.

Help us, oh God, to remember that we are Americans. United not by race or religion or by blood, but to our commitment to freedom and justice for all. When we focus on ourselves, when we fight each other, when we forget you, forgive us.
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
God does not owe me an explanation for what He does in my life. And if I am looking for that to feel better about my suffering, then I'm not going to get it.
Rick Warren
Image
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
Image
Be careful how you think your life is shaped by your thoughts.
Rick Warren
Image
Delays are as much a part of God plan as answered prayers. God wants you to trust him.
Rick Warren
Image
I have always been blessed with an enormous amount of energy. And so I didn't take care of my health at all.
Rick Warren
Image
Nothing else you do will ever matter as much as helping people establish an eternal relationship with God.
Rick Warren
Image
God is always more interested in why we do something than in what we do. Attitudes count more than achievements.
Rick Warren
Image
Much of what happens in our world is evil and bad, but God specializes in bringing good out of it.
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
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.

You don't have to compromise convictions to be compassionate.

Lust is raw selfishness. It's all about my wants, my needs, my pleasure. Most love songs are actually lust songs.
