Patience puts up with those you'd like to put down
Rick Warren

That's one of those questions I'm asked more often than anything else. Will my dog go to heaven? And I say well, the lion will lay down with the lamb.
Rick Warren
Image
When pressure builds up, don't panic. Pray! Prayer is a tremendous stress reliever. It can be your safety valve.

Accidents are just incidents in God's good plan for 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
Image
Servants think of ministry as an opportunity, not an obligation. They enjoy helping people, meeting needs, and doing ministry.
Rick Warren
Image
Having authority implies accountability. If you reject the blame for failures under your watch, people reject your leadership.
Rick Warren
Image
People forget that the church is bigger than China. It speaks more languages than the United Nations. It has more volunteers than all the NGOs in the world put together.
Rick Warren
Image
Two thousand years ago, in the Middle East, an event occurred that permanently changed the world. Because of that event, history was split. Every time you write a date, you’re using the Resurrection of Jesus Christ as the focal point.
Rick Warren
Image
God's Word is not meant just to inform you, but to transform you.
Rick Warren
Image
The church must always show compassion, always.
Rick Warren
Image
Relationships, not achievements or the acquisition of things, are what matters most in life.
Rick Warren
Image
Pride builds walls between people, humility builds bridges.
Rick Warren

If you want to know why you were placed on the planet, you must begin with God.
