The world is always changed by people who don't listen to conventional wisdom. I think we often set our goals too small and try to accomplish them too quickly.

More quotes by Rick Warren

Image
I could imagine God saying to a lot of us, Hey, I'm God, and you're not. You're not the general manager of the universe. And the greatest stress reliever is take God seriously, but don't take yourself seriously.
Rick Warren
Image
Through salvation our past has been forgiven, our present is given meaning, and out future is secured.
Rick Warren
Image
Those who have hurt you in the past cannot continue to hurt you now unless you hold on to the pain through resentment.
Rick Warren
Image
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
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
One day it's all going to be clear. It's all going to make sense. You're going to be able to say, So that's why God allowed that in my life! Until then, God wants you to trust him.
Rick Warren

God's Word is not meant just to inform you, but to transform you.
Rick Warren
Image
Many believe one can be a good Christian without joining (or even attending) a local church, but God would strongly disagree.
Rick Warren
Image
I do believe that the Kingdom of God is present wherever Jesus is king. That's my definition of the Kingdom of God.
Rick Warren
Image
Worry is really just a form of atheism. Every time you worry, you're acting like an atheist. You're saying, It all depends on me. That's just not in the Bible.
Rick Warren
Image
The way God teaches us to live by faith is He takes away our feelings.
Rick Warren
Image
Much of what happens in our world is evil and bad, but God specializes in bringing good out of it.
Rick Warren
Image
A church will never grow beyond its capacity to meet needs.
Rick Warren
Image
God changes caterpillars into butterflies, sand into pearls and coal into diamonds using time and pressure. He's working on you, too.
Rick Warren
Image
Kindness always starts with noticing the needs and hurts of others.
Rick Warren
Image
Don't let your net worth determine your self worth.
Rick Warren

The most common way Jesus comes into our lives is through a broken heart.
