If you want to know why you were jplaced on this planet, you must begin with God. You were born by his purpose and for his purpose.
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
What happens outwardly in your life is not as important as what happens inside you. Your circumstances are temporary, but your character will last forever.
Rick Warren

Rick Warren
Image
Longing for the ideal while criticizing the real is evidence of immaturity. On the other hand, settling for the real without striving for the ideal is complacency. Maturity is living with the tension.
Rick Warren
Image
We are created for community, fashioned for fellowship, and formed for a family, and none of us can fulfill God's purposes by ourselves.
Rick Warren
Image
The truth is, almost everything we do is done poorly when we first start doing it – that’s how we learn.
Rick Warren
Image
God does not owe me an explanation for what He does in my life. And if I am looking for that to feel better about my suffering, then I'm not going to get it.
Rick Warren
Image
Surrender . . .sacrificing my life or suffering in order to change what needs to be changed
Rick Warren
Image
Every problem is a character-building opportunity, and the more difficult it is, the greater the potential for building spiritual muscle and moral fiber.
Rick Warren
Image
I'm not looking for peace on earth, though, through a political solution. I'm a pastor.
