God is love. He didn't need us. But he wanted us.
Rick Warren
Image
You may have done some really nifty things in life, but if you think they're going to get you into Heaven, forget it. The only way any of us are going to get in is by receiving God's gift of grace, which is available to every person.
Rick Warren
Image
Get honest with God, and your focus will shift from just seeing your problems - no matter how overwhelming they seem - to the grace of God.
Rick Warren
Image
Salvation is not a religion. It's not rules or regulations or rituals. Salvation is a relationship. That relationship doesn't begin when you get to Heaven it begins here on Earth.
Rick Warren
Image
The purpose of influence is to speak up for those who have no influence. (Pr.31:8) It's not about you.
Rick Warren
Image
If God was small enough for you to completely understand him, he wouldn't be big enough for you to completely trust him.
Rick Warren

Your illness is not your identity. Your chemistry is not your character.
Rick Warren

I'm looking for a second reformation. The first reformation of the church 500 years ago was about beliefs. This one is going to be about behavior. The first one was about creeds. This one is going to be about deeds. It is not going to be about what does the church believe, but about what is the church doing.

Rick Warren
Image
We are commanded to recognize His glory, honor His glory, declare His glory, praise His glory, reflect His glory, and live for His glory.
Rick Warren
Image
If you want to know why you were placed on the planet, you must begin with God.
Rick Warren
Image
Willpower can produce short-term change, but it creates constant internal stress because you haven't dealt with the root cause.
Rick Warren
Image
We take ourselves way too seriously, and we don't take God seriously enough. It is not by accident that humor and humility come from the same root word. If you can laugh at yourself, you'll always have plenty of good material.
Rick Warren
Image
Instead of focusing on that unappeasable person, refocus on Jesus, who accepts you unconditionally.
Rick Warren
Image
Many people are reluctant to show mercy because they don't understand the difference between trust and forgiveness. Forgiveness is letting go of the past. Trust has to do with future behavior.
Rick Warren
Image
If your God doesn't look like Jesus, we don't worship the same God, sorry.
Rick Warren
Image
Great opportunities are often disguised as small acts of service.
Rick Warren
Image
I'm not looking for peace on earth, though, through a political solution. I'm a pastor.
Rick Warren
Image
I think one day Madonna's going to say Jesus is Lord, one day Muhammad is going to say Jesus is Lord, Hitler will say Jesus is Lord.
Rick Warren

There are accidental parents, but there are no accidental children. There are illegitimate parents, but there are no illegitimate children.
