It’s not just what you eat that matters, it’s what eats you. You can have all the right macrobiotics and organic food, but if your body is filled with resentment, worry, fear, lust, guilt, anger, bitterness, or any other emotional disease, it’s going to shorten your life.

Rick Warren
Image
People ask me, Are you right wing or are you left wing? and I always say, I'm for the whole bird. A one-winged bird didn't ever get off the ground.
Rick Warren
Image
There is nothing you can do that will make God stop loving you. You could try, but you simply can't do it - because his love for you is based upon his character and not on anything you do or say or feel.
Rick Warren
Image
A church will never grow beyond its capacity to meet needs.
Rick Warren
Image
The smile of God is the goal of your life.
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
Because God is with you all the time, no place is any closer to God than the place where you are right now.
Rick Warren
Image
Jesus measured greatness in terms of service not status. God determines your greatness by how many people you serve, not how many people serve you.
Rick Warren
Image
The greatest use of your words is prayer. Talk to God about EVERYTHING, all the time. Maintain a running conversation.
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.

If others don't use their gifts, you get cheated, and if you dont use your gifts, they get cheated.
