You drift through life and let things happen to you, or go by design and say, 'This is what I'm intended to do.' The Bible is very clear that God has a purpose. But even if I know that purpose, I can't fulfill it if I'm out of shape.
Rick Warren

More quotes by Rick Warren
There is no growth if there is no change. There is no change if there is no loss. There is no loss if there is no pain.
Rick Warren
Prayer is the greatest use of my words.
Rick Warren
To begin loving people today, we must close the door on the past. And that cannot happen without forgiveness! Forgive those who have hurt you - for your sake, not because they deserve it.
Rick Warren
Faith in Jesus must be personal but it cannot be private.
Rick Warren
If you always feel comfortable reading God's Word, you're either not reading ALL of it, or you aren't letting it sink in.
Rick Warren
The way you see your life shapes your life.
Rick Warren
We're going to worship in eternity. So what does God want me to do while we're here on earth? Practice. Practice worshipping.
Rick Warren
The instructor is always silent when the test is given... ...When God is silent in your life... You are being tested.
Rick Warren
Christians ought to have a reputation for being the most dependable people at work. They are always aware of who their true boss is.
Rick Warren
God wants to use you to make a difference in His world. He wants to work through you. What matters is not the duration of your life, but the donation of it. Not how long you lived, but how you lived.
Rick Warren
First open your heart, then open your Bible.
Rick Warren
The Bible teaches that we are to love people and use money, but we often get that reversed and you start loving money and using people to get more money. Money is simply a tool to be used for good.
Rick Warren
To me, thinking with the mind of Christ means to be thinking in light of eternity, which is what Colossians is all about and that our lives are hid with Christ in God and that eternity, we're going to spend far more time on the other side of death than this side.
Rick Warren
The more God gives you, the more responsible he expects you to be.
Rick Warren
Anytime you feel jealous or envious, you reject your uniqueness. It's a criticism of God's plan for you.
Rick Warren
Trusting God completely means having faith that he knows what is best for your life. You expect him to keep his promises, help you with problems, and do the impossible when necessary.
Rick Warren
Your birth was no mistake or mishap, and your life is no fluke of nature. Your parents may not have planned you, but God did. He was not at all surprised by your birth. In fact, he expected it.
Rick Warren
That's God's number one purpose, to make us like Christ.
Rick Warren
There is no growth without change, and there is no change without loss.
Rick Warren
Hiding your hurt only intensifies it. Problems grow in the dark and only become bigger and bigger, but when exposed to the light of truth, they shrink. You are only as sick as your secrets. So take off your mask, stop pretending you're perfect and walk into freedom.
Rick Warren
