I just think the Internet has made us ruder.
Rick Warren
Image
At the end of your life on earth you will be evaluated and rewarded according to how well you handled what God entrusted to you.
Rick Warren
Image
The race to be a leader is crowded, but the field is wide open for those willing to be servants
Rick Warren
Image
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
Image
I would say that God custom designed my weaknesses. I am not making God responsible for my sins.
Rick Warren
Image
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
Your most profound and intimate experiences of worship will likely be in your darkest days - when your heart is broken, when you feel abandoned, when your out of options, when the pain is great - and you turn to God alone.
Rick Warren
Image
You discover your identity and purpose through a relationship with Jesus Christ.
Rick Warren
Image
Your net worth is not the same thing as your self-worth. Your value is not based on your valuables.
Rick Warren
Image
You will be tempted by the need to feed yourself.
Rick Warren
Image
Only you can be you. God designed each of us so there would be no duplication in the world. No one has the exact same mix of factors that make you unique. That means no one else on earth will ever be able to play the role God planned for you. If you don’t make your unique contribution to the Body of Christ, it won’t be made.
Rick Warren
Image
Transformation is a process, and as life happens there are tons of ups and downs. It's a journey of discovery - there are moments on mountaintops and moments in deep valleys of despair.
Rick Warren
Image
If your God doesn't look like Jesus, we don't worship the same God, sorry.
Rick Warren
Image
We're going to serve in eternity. We're not going to sit around on clouds you know this whole idea of heaven is wearing white robes with angels and play a harp. To me, that would be hell. I can't think of anything more boring.
Rick Warren
Image
We need the value and the beauty of democracy, and the beauty of pluralism is there's a free exchange of ideas. Nobody is right all the time. I'm not right all the time. I don't agree with anybody all the time, and I don't even agree with myself all the time.
Rick Warren
Image
Living in light of eternity changes your priorities.
Rick Warren
Image
Be careful how you think your life is shaped by your thoughts.
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
The most common way Jesus comes into our lives is through a broken heart.
Rick Warren
Image
A lie doesn't become truth, wrong doesn't become right and evil doesn't become good, just because it's accepted by a majority.
Rick Warren
