Image
We get 80 years, maybe at the most 100. Trillions of years in eternity. This life is preparation for the next. This is the warm-up back, this is the dress rehearsal, this is the get ready, this is the first lap around the track before the real race begins because it is in eternity.
Rick Warren
Image
Pain is the fuel of passion - it energizes us with an intensity to change that we don't normally possess.
Rick Warren

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
A church must grow larger and smaller at the same time. Larger through worship and smaller through small groups.
Rick Warren
Image
You don't bring glory or pleasure to God by hiding your abilities or by trying to be someone else. You only bring him enjoyment by being you.
Rick Warren
Image
Leadership starts with understanding responsibility, not ability. Leadership is a Stewardship, not a show.
Rick Warren

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
Christmas is the time for celebration, so I'm not against decorating, putting on lights, buying gifts. In fact, the whole reason we give gifts is the wise men gave gifts to Jesus at the first Christmas, and that started the gift-giving process.
Rick Warren
Image
Without God, life has no purpose, and without purpose, life has no meaning. Without meaning, life has no significance or hope.
Rick Warren
Image
Racism is stupid. It’s an insult to God, arrogantly implying that God goofed-up when he chose to make us all different.
Rick Warren
Image
Read the genealogy of Jesus, and you have to see how the four women in that genealogy God used their sins for His glory.
Rick Warren
Image
I believe what Irenaeus said - the glory of God is a human being fully alive.
Rick Warren
Image
Your wisest moments will be those when you say yes to God.

The mission of Tom Peterson and Catholics Come Home to bring souls home to Jesus and the church is critically important during this challenging time in our history. I fully support this New Evangelization project.

Relationships, not achievements or the acquisition of things, are what matters most in life.
