If you don't know how to do it, get around someone else who does.
Rick Warren
Image
He created the church to meet your five deepest needs: a purpose to live for, people to live with, principles to live by, a profession to live out, and power to live on. There is no other place on earth where you can find all five of these benefits in one place.
Rick Warren
Image
When the Christian praises and gives thanks to God, this not only pleases God, but it enriches the Christian's life with joy. It is a reciprocating transaction between God and man.
Rick Warren
Image
There's much you can't change, but there's something important you can change: you.
Rick Warren
Image
As long as you do things for God, you are a Hall of Famer in heaven's list.
Rick Warren
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
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
Genesis 50:20 applies to every area of life.
Rick Warren
Image
We may not always finish what we start but God always finishes what He starts.
Rick Warren
Image
You'll never do anything creative, innovative or world changing if you fear criticism. Pioneers are easy targets for arrows!
Rick Warren
Image
Most of the time, it's your thinking, not your talent, that holds you back.
Rick Warren
Image
If you have felt hopeless, hold on! Wonderful changes are going to happen in your life as you begin to live it on purpose.
Rick Warren
Image
Humility is not thinking less of yourself it is thinking of yourself less. Humility is thinking more of others.
Rick Warren
Image
God made every one of us a sexual being, and that is good. Attraction and arousal are the natural, spontaneous, God-given responses to physical beauty, while lust is a deliberate act of the will.
Rick Warren
Image
Some people are going to have to die or leave.
Rick Warren
Image
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.
Rick Warren
Image
The only thing that matters is here and the only thing that matters is now. And America's inability to delay gratification is because we do not have eternal thinking.
Rick Warren
Image
There is no growth without change, no change without fear or loss and no loss without pain.
Rick Warren
Image
We are created for community, fashioned for fellowship, and formed for a family, and none of us can fulfill God's purposes by ourselves.
Rick Warren
Image
There's truth in every religion. Christians believe that there's truth in every religion. But we just believe that there's one savior. We believe we can learn truth - I've learned a lot of truth from different religions. Because they all have a portion of the truth. I just believe there is one savior, Jesus Christ.
