Image
We are all called to fulfill God's five purposes for our lives: to worship, to fellowship, to grow like Christ, to serve, and to be on mission with God in the world.
Rick Warren
Image
On Thanksgiving we do just everything except give thanks. We eat, we watch football, we have a good time with family. Almost nobody gives thanks to God at Thanksgiving, unless there's a short prayer before we eat.
Rick Warren
Image
If God was small enough for you to completely understand him, he wouldn't be big enough for you to completely trust him.
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
You can like somebody without agreeing with all of their policies.
Rick Warren
Image
Your spiritual family is even more important than your physical family because it will last forever. Our families on earth are wonderful gifts from God, but they are temporary and fragile, often broken by divorce, distance, growing old, and inevitably, death.

Ministry is received, not achieved.
Rick Warren
Image
You don't bring glory or pleasure to God by hiding your abilities or by trying to be someone else. You only bring him enjoyment by being you.
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
If you want to know why you were placed on the planet, you must begin with God.
Rick Warren
Image
Where the grass is greener, the water bill is bigger.
Rick Warren
Image
When you win, don't swagger. When you lose, don't sulk.
Rick Warren
Image
God made every one of us a sexual being, and that is good. Attraction and arousal are the natural, spontaneous, God-given responses to physical beauty, while lust is a deliberate act of the will.
Rick Warren
Image
Your abilities are the map to God's will for your life. It points the direction. When you know what you're good at, then you can know what God wants you to do with your life.
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
I believe that the purpose of influence is to speak up for those who have no influence. And fame is not for our own benefit, or notoriety is not for our own benefit, it's for leverage to do good.
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
Image
If a pastor focuses only on teaching, he grows members with big ears and rears but tiny hands and hearts.Service is MODELED not taught.
Rick Warren
Image
Irrelevance happens when the speed of change outside an organization is greater than speed of change inside an organization.

Living for God's glory is the greatest achievement we can accomplish with our lives.
