One of the ways we reflect God's love and bring him glory is to accept each other just as he accepts us. This means we accept others' quirks and look past their faults in order to see a person created in the image of God.
Rick Warren
Image
If we condone torture, we yield the moral high ground to our enemies and encourage anyone who hates us to stoop to using that subhuman level against us. We reap whatever we sow.
Rick Warren
Image
We may not always finish what we start but God always finishes what He starts.
Rick Warren
Image
Growing marriages aren't determined by how much you have in common but by how graciously you deal with your differences.
Rick Warren
Image
God hates loneliness, and community is God's answer to loneliness. When we walk alongside other people, we find a community where we learn how to love.
Rick Warren
Image
In deep pain, people don't need logic, advice, encouragement, or even Scripture. They just need you to show up and shut up.

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

Rick Warren
Image
In the end we must be merciful to the fallen, show grace to struggling, and be patient with the doubting. But when God's Word is clear we must not-and we cannot-back up, back off, back down, back out, or backslide from the truth.
Rick Warren
Image
But no one who is lost has lost one ounce of value to God. Even if you don't have a relationship with him, you have immense value to God.
Rick Warren
Image
The Bible offers three metaphors that teach us God's view of life: Life is a test, life is a trust, and life is a temporary assignment.
Rick Warren
Image
God is much more concerned about your character than your career, because you will take your character into eternity, but not your career.
Rick Warren
Image
Real life begins by committing yourself completely to Jesus Christ.
Rick Warren
Image
Jesus modeled a purpose-driven life, and he taught others how to live it, too. That was the work that brought glory to God.
Rick Warren
Image
Remember how far you've come, not just how far you have to go.
Rick Warren
Image
If you want to know why you were placed on the planet, you must begin with God.
Rick Warren
Image
Fellowship is a place of grace, where mistakes aren't rubbed in but rubbed out. Fellowship happens when mercy wins over justice.
Rick Warren
Image
Three enemies that will weaken your ministry over time: Self-indulgence, bitterness, and carelessness. Strong people discipline their desires, restrain their reactions, and keep their commitments.
Rick Warren
Image
Heartless praise is not praise at all. It is worthless and an insult to God.
Rick Warren
