Quote

In the end we must be merciful to the fallen, show grace to struggling, and be patient with the doubting. But when God's Word is clear we must not-and we cannot-back up, back off, back down, back out, or backslide from the truth.

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
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
Every church is flawed. Still, you'd better learn to love it since it's the only group Jesus said he's taking to Heaven.

Who are you going to live for - yourself or God?

Your commitments can develop you or destroy you, but either way, they will define you.

In all my travels, I've never seen a country's population more determined to forgive, and to build and succeed than in Rwanda.

Temptation always starts in your mind, not in circumstances.
Rick Warren
Image
Receiving, reading, researching, remembering, and reflecting on the Word of God are all useless if we fail to put what we learn into practice.
Rick Warren
Image
America was built on rugged individualism, and today that has evolved into a culture of narcissism. But God didn't create you to live for you. If you want to follow Jesus, you have to put aside your selfish ambition.
Rick Warren
Image
The point is, there are some things worth dying for. There's no doubt about that. And I would die for my family. I would die for my freedom. I would die for my country.
Rick Warren
Image
God is much more concerned about your character than your career, because you will take your character into eternity, but not your career.
Rick Warren
Image
I can't get my wife to agree with me on everything or my kids to agree with everything.
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
Image
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
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
Image
There is nothing quite as potent as a focused life, one lived on purpose.
Rick Warren
Image
You will be tempted by the need to feed yourself.
Rick Warren
Image
We do not serve a distant and detached God who spouts encouraging cliches safely from the sideline. Instead, he enters into our suffering. Jesus did it in the Incarnation and his Spirit does it in us now. God will never leave us alone in our suffering.
Rick Warren
Image
While we wait for God to work for us, God is waiting to work through us.
Rick Warren
Image
You are loved by the One who knows you best. God's love will never disappoint you and never give up on you.
Rick Warren
