If you always feel comfortable reading God's Word, you're either not reading ALL of it, or you aren't letting it sink in.
Rick Warren
Image
At most, you will live a hundred years on earth, but you will spend forever in eternity.
Rick Warren
Image
God is the Father who is full of mercy. God is the Father who is full of comfort. That is the kind of relationship he offers to you.
Rick Warren
Image
God knows what it's like to lose a son.
Rick Warren
Image
If you're alive, there's a purpose for your life.
Rick Warren
Image
When you use your life for God's glory, everything you do can become an act of worship
Rick Warren
Image
That's God's number one purpose, to make us like Christ.
Rick Warren
Image
Every problem is a character-building opportunity, and the more difficult it is, the greater the potential for building spiritual muscle and moral fiber.
Rick Warren
Image
I never have been involved in politics.
Rick Warren
Image
There is nothing quite as potent as a focused life, one lived on purpose.
Rick Warren
Image
Our hope is a certainty based on the truths that God is in complete control of our universe and that He loves us.
Rick Warren
Image
There's a Grand Designer behind everything. Your life is not a result of random chance, fate, or luck. There is a master plan. History is His story. God is pulling the strings.
Rick Warren
Image
Pride builds walls between people, humility builds bridges.
Rick Warren
Image
What we can't do in heaven is sin and witness. And obviously God didn't leave us here to sin.
Rick Warren
Image
We take ourselves way too seriously, and we don't take God seriously enough. It is not by accident that humor and humility come from the same root word. If you can laugh at yourself, you'll always have plenty of good material.
Rick Warren
Image
To me, thinking with the mind of Christ means to be thinking in light of eternity, which is what Colossians is all about and that our lives are hid with Christ in God and that eternity, we're going to spend far more time on the other side of death than this side.
Rick Warren
Image
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
The first step to becoming what God made you to be is to stop worrying about what others want you to be.
Rick Warren
Image
Building friendships with people from dissimilar backgrounds and diverse perspectives will make you wiser and more creative.
Rick Warren
Image
Worry is focused thinking on something negative. Meditation is doing the same thing only focusing on God's word instead of your problem.
Rick Warren
