People need fewer 'ought-to' sermons, and more 'how-to' sermons. The deepest kind of teaching is that which makes a difference in people's day-to-day lives. Jesus spoke to the crowd with an interesting style. When God's Word is taught in an uninteresting way, people don't just think the pastor is boring, they think God is boring!
Rick Warren
Image
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
Well, in the first place, military service, they don't call it service for nothing. You are actually serving your country. And it is a worthy and valid vocation.
Rick Warren
Image
Without God, life has no purpose, and without purpose, life has no meaning. Without meaning, life has no significance or hope.
Rick Warren
Image
Keep your hope in the Lord and your eyes focused on the hope of Heaven, not just on the here and now.

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
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
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
Image
I'm naturally inclined to have sex with every beautiful woman I see. But that doesn't mean it's the right thing to do.
Rick Warren
Image
The Bible says that God puts government on earth to punish evildoers. Not good-doers. Evildoers.
Rick Warren
Image
Longing for the ideal while criticizing the real is evidence of immaturity. On the other hand, settling for the real without striving for the ideal is complacency. Maturity is living with the tension.
Rick Warren
Image
Faith is facing reality without being discouraged by it.
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
Leadership starts with understanding responsibility, not ability. Leadership is a Stewardship, not a show.
Rick Warren
Image
If you try to serve people, it impresses them. If you try to impress people it irritates them.
Rick Warren
Image
Your value is not determined by your valuables, and God says the most valuable things in life are not things!
