Quote

If we condone torture, we yield the moral high ground to our enemies and encourage anyone who hates us to stoop to using that subhuman level against us. We reap whatever we sow.

The best use of life is love. The best expression of love is time. The best time to love is now.

I can't get my wife to agree with me on everything or my kids to agree with everything.

Time is your most precious gift, because you only have a set amount of it.
Rick Warren
Image
Gods plan isn't a map for your life that you see all at once, but a scroll unrolled a little at a time.
Rick Warren

The race to be a leader is crowded, but the field is wide open for those willing to be servants
Rick Warren
Image
Nothing else you do will ever matter as much as helping people establish an eternal relationship with God.
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.

People need fewer 'ought-to' sermons, and more 'how-to' sermons. The deepest kind of teaching is that which makes a difference in people's day-to-day lives. Jesus spoke to the crowd with an interesting style. When God's Word is taught in an uninteresting way, people don't just think the pastor is boring, they think God is boring!

There is no growth without change, no change without fear or loss and no loss without pain.
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
God is more interested in your character than your comfort. God is more interested in making your life holy than He is in making your life happy.
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
Two thousand years ago, in the Middle East, an event occurred that permanently changed the world. Because of that event, history was split. Every time you write a date, you’re using the Resurrection of Jesus Christ as the focal point.
Rick Warren
Image
Your birth was no mistake or mishap, and your life is no fluke of nature. Your parents may not have planned you, but God did. He was not at all surprised by your birth. In fact, he expected it.
Rick Warren
Image
If you don't live by priorities, you'll live by pressures. Either you determine what's important in life or other people will determine it for you.
Rick Warren
Image
Remember how far you've come, not just how far you have to go.
Rick Warren
Image
God doesn't intend for you to handle all the pain and stress in your life by yourself. We were wired for each other. We need each other.

The antidote to the lust of the flesh is integrity.
Rick Warren

Worry is focused thinking on something negative. Meditation is doing the same thing only focusing on God's word instead of your problem.
