Quote

On Thanksgiving we do just everything except give thanks. We eat, we watch football, we have a good time with family. Almost nobody gives thanks to God at Thanksgiving, unless there's a short prayer before we eat.

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

The most common way Jesus comes into our lives is through a broken heart.
Rick Warren
Image
Life is a gift... Life is a test... Life is temporary assignment.
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

Without the grace of Jesus: a hopeless end. With the grace of Jesus: an endless hope.

After learning to love God (worship), learning to love others is the second purpose of your life.
Rick Warren

You must match your music to the kind of people God wants your church to reach.... The music you use 'positions' your church in your community. It defines who you are.... It will determine the kind of people you attract, the kind of people you keep, and the kind of people you lose.

The smile of God is the goal of your life.

When you use your life for God's glory, everything you do can become an act of worship

Accidents are just incidents in God's good plan for you.
Rick Warren
Image
Between this day and the next you will give your life to something. The decision on what that will be will shape your destiny.
Rick Warren
Image
Because God is with you all the time, no place is any closer to God than the place where you are right now.
Rick Warren
Image
I believe that the purpose of influence is to speak up for those who have no influence. And fame is not for our own benefit, or notoriety is not for our own benefit, it's for leverage to do good.
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
Great people are just ordinary people with an extraordinary amount of determination. They simply don't know how to quit. They just keep on 'keepin' on'.
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
There are many different kinds of doubt. When we doubt the future, we call it worry. When doubt other people we call is suspicion. When we doubt ourselves we call it inferiority. When we doubt God we call it unbelief. When we doubt what we hear on television we call it intelligence! When we doubt everything we call it cynicism or skepticism.

Never procrastinate in showing love. Don't delay. Don't put it off. Do it now.
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.
Rick Warren

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
