Humility is not denying your strengths, humility is being honest about your weaknesses.
Rick Warren

Everybody wants confidence but you don't find it in self help books. You find confidence in the Holy Spirit.

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.

I do believe in what I call the stewardship of influence as well as the stewardship of affluence. And that is you use whatever God gives you not for your own benefit, but use it to help people who have no benefit. And when you use whatever God gives you, he gives you more of it. When you use it well, he gives you more of it.
Rick Warren
Image
Leadership starts with understanding responsibility, not ability. Leadership is a Stewardship, not a show.
Rick Warren
Image
Christmas is the time for celebration, so I'm not against decorating, putting on lights, buying gifts. In fact, the whole reason we give gifts is the wise men gave gifts to Jesus at the first Christmas, and that started the gift-giving process.
Rick Warren

The antidote to the lust of the flesh is integrity.
Rick Warren

When Jesus started His ministry, the very first thing He did was form a small group.
Rick Warren
Image
If someone broke your heart it doesn't mean you should build a wall around it and quit loving. Redirect your love.
