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.

We are created for community, fashioned for fellowship, and formed for a family, and none of us can fulfill God's purposes by ourselves.

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

We need the value and the beauty of democracy, and the beauty of pluralism is there's a free exchange of ideas. Nobody is right all the time. I'm not right all the time. I don't agree with anybody all the time, and I don't even agree with myself all the time.
Rick Warren

Don't' call it a failure, call it an education. Some of us are very educated.

Rick Warren

Much of what happens in our world is evil and bad, but God specializes in bringing good out of it.
Rick Warren

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
We're going to serve in eternity. We're not going to sit around on clouds you know this whole idea of heaven is wearing white robes with angels and play a harp. To me, that would be hell. I can't think of anything more boring.
Rick Warren
Image
You've got a lot to look forward to in Heaven. Compared to what's in store for you in Heaven, your current pain and problems are petty.
Rick Warren
Image
You can learn from anyone if you know the right questions.

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.

God teaches us to love by putting some unlovely people around us.
