If you want to know why you were placed on the planet, you must begin with God.
Rick Warren
Image
God hates loneliness, and community is God's answer to loneliness. When we walk alongside other people, we find a community where we learn how to love.
Rick Warren
Image
Gods plan isn't a map for your life that you see all at once, but a scroll unrolled a little at a time.
Rick Warren
Image
When Jesus started His ministry, the very first thing He did was form a small group.
Rick Warren
Image
There is no growth without change, no change without fear or loss and no loss without pain.
Rick Warren
Image
I think we live in a pluralistic society where we have to get along with each other and show common grace to each other.

God changes caterpillars into butterflies, sand into pearls and coal into diamonds using time and pressure. He's working on you, too.
Rick Warren
Image
We do not serve a distant and detached God who spouts encouraging cliches safely from the sideline. Instead, he enters into our suffering. Jesus did it in the Incarnation and his Spirit does it in us now. God will never leave us alone in our suffering.
Rick Warren

First open your heart, then open your Bible.
Rick Warren
Image
Your most effective ministry will come out of your deepest hurts.
Rick Warren
Image
The point is, there are some things worth dying for. There's no doubt about that. And I would die for my family. I would die for my freedom. I would die for my country.
Rick Warren
Image
The fact is, ministry is too unpredictable to be motivated by security. It’s too unprofitable to be motivated by money. It’s too demanding to be motivated by pleasure, and it’s too criticized to be motivated by fame. Our ministry should be motivated by the pleasure of God, and God is pleased when we have a ministry powered by faith.
Rick Warren
Image
Every temptation is an offer to doubt God's love and wisdom.
Rick Warren
Image
God doesn't intend for you to handle all the pain and stress in your life by yourself. We were wired for each other. We need each other.
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
A church must grow larger and smaller at the same time. Larger through worship and smaller through small groups.
Rick Warren
Image
When God gives, he holds nothing back.
