Many people spend their lives trying to create a lasting legacy on earth. They want to be remembered when they're gone. Yet, what ultimately matters most will not be what others say about your life but what God says.
Rick Warren
Image
I invite you to bow your head and quietly whisper the prayer that will change your eternity: Jesus I believe in you and I receive you.
Rick Warren
Image
Help us, oh God, to remember that we are Americans. United not by race or religion or by blood, but to our commitment to freedom and justice for all. When we focus on ourselves, when we fight each other, when we forget you, forgive us.
Rick Warren
Image
Let your broken heart create an open heart
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.

Temptation always starts in your mind, not in circumstances.
Rick Warren

I'm looking for a second reformation. The first reformation of the church 500 years ago was about beliefs. This one is going to be about behavior. The first one was about creeds. This one is going to be about deeds. It is not going to be about what does the church believe, but about what is the church doing.

Be careful how you think your life is shaped by your thoughts.
Rick Warren
Image
The greatest gift God gave us is also our greatest curse, which is the free will. We are made in God's image, the Bible says, which means we have the ability to love him or not love him, to reject him or not reject him.
Rick Warren
Image
The more God gives you, the more responsible he expects you to be.
Rick Warren
Image
God wants us to practice on Earth what we're going to do forever in eternity.
Rick Warren

Leadership starts with understanding responsibility, not ability. Leadership is a Stewardship, not a show.
Rick Warren
Image
I believe what Irenaeus said - the glory of God is a human being fully alive.
Rick Warren
Image
When we place our faith in Christ, God becomes our Father, we become his children, other believers become our brothers and sisters, and the church becomes our spiritual family. The family of God includes all believers in the past, the present, and the future.
Rick Warren

Americans spend more on beer than they do on books. No wonder their stomachs are bigger than their brains.
Rick Warren
Image
Explanations don't comfort. You won't feel better if you know why. It won't hurt any less.
Rick Warren
Image
You're not really ready to live unless you know what you're willing to die for.
