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
We do not have to make the Bible relevant - it already is! But we do have to show its relevance.
Rick Warren
Image
If you try to serve people, it impresses them. If you try to impress people it irritates them.
Rick Warren
Image
Some people are going to have to die or leave.
Rick Warren
Image
That's the big difference between Christianity and other religions. The difference between Works and Grace or Do and Done.
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
Accidents are just incidents in God's good plan for you.
Rick Warren
Image
God's mercy to us is the motivation for showing mercy to others. Remember, you will never be asked to forgive someone else more than God has forgiven you.
Rick Warren
Image
What is your assurance of salvation? The promise of God's Word. If God says it, that settles it, because God cannot lie. You can trust the promise of God's Word.
Rick Warren
Image
Irrelevance happens when the speed of change outside an organization is greater than speed of change inside an organization.
Rick Warren
Image
Who are you going to live for - yourself or God?
Rick Warren
Image
Without implementation, all of our Bible studies are worthless.
Rick Warren
Image
Forgiveness must be immediate, whether or not a person asks for it. Trust must be rebuilt over time. Trust requires a track record. If someone hurts you repeatedly, you are commanded by God to forgive them instantly, but you are not expected to trust them immediately, and you are not expected to continue allowing them to hurt you.
Rick Warren
Image
You can only make a difference by being different.
Rick Warren
Image
If your activities don't match your priorities, you are wasting your life.
Rick Warren
Image
God intentionally allows you to go through painful experiences to equip you for ministry to others.
Rick Warren
Image
To begin loving people today, we must close the door on the past. And that cannot happen without forgiveness! Forgive those who have hurt you - for your sake, not because they deserve it.
Rick Warren
Image
Longing for the ideal while criticizing the real is evidence of immaturity. On the other hand, settling for the real without striving for the ideal is complacency. Maturity is living with the tension.
Rick Warren
Image
Great leaders genuinely care for and love the people they lead more than they love leading itself.
Rick Warren
Image
If you talked to others the way you talk to yourself, would you have any friends?
Rick Warren
