Image
It’s not just what you eat that matters, it’s what eats you. You can have all the right macrobiotics and organic food, but if your body is filled with resentment, worry, fear, lust, guilt, anger, bitterness, or any other emotional disease, it’s going to shorten your life.
Rick Warren
Image
Those who follow the crowd usually get lost in it.
Rick Warren
Image
Focusing on ourselves will never reveal our life's purpose.
Rick Warren
Image
There is an entire generation who was too young to read 'The Purpose Driven Life' 10 years ago but are now asking the critical question, 'What on earth am I here for?'
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
Image
If it grows on a plant, it's healthy. If it's made in a plant, don't eat it.
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
Your value is not determined by your valuables, and God says the most valuable things in life are not things!
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
Without the grace of Jesus: a hopeless end. With the grace of Jesus: an endless hope.
Rick Warren
Image
The most common way Jesus comes into our lives is through a broken heart.
Rick Warren
Image
The fact is, ministry is too unpredictable to be motivated by security. It’s too unprofitable to be motivated by money. It’s too demanding to be motivated by pleasure, and it’s too criticized to be motivated by fame. Our ministry should be motivated by the pleasure of God, and God is pleased when we have a ministry powered by faith.
Rick Warren
Image
There is one thing that motivates me. It is the global glory of God. I am first and foremost a missionary. I am an evangelist and a missionary.
Rick Warren
Image
What matters is not the duration of your life, but the donation of it.
Rick Warren
Image
If you try to serve people, it impresses them. If you try to impress people it irritates them.
Rick Warren
Image
The greatest use of your words is prayer. Talk to God about EVERYTHING, all the time. Maintain a running conversation.
Rick Warren
Image
We are all called to fulfill God's five purposes for our lives: to worship, to fellowship, to grow like Christ, to serve, and to be on mission with God in the world.
Rick Warren
Image
We always get into trouble when we doubt God's love, because when we don't trust him, we don't obey him.
Rick Warren
Image
Your wisest moments will be those when you say yes to God.
Rick Warren
Image
As long as you pretend to be self-sufficient, you short-circuit God's power in your life. You need to admit your inadequacy and say, God, I can't handle this!
Rick Warren
