God wants us to practice on Earth what we're going to do forever in eternity.
Rick Warren
Image
There is nothing you can do that will make God stop loving you. You could try, but you simply can't do it - because his love for you is based upon his character and not on anything you do or say or feel.
Rick Warren
Image
Start today by practicing constant conversation with God and continual mediation on his Word. Prayer lets you speak to God mediation lets God speak to you.

Lasting love extends grace. No relationship will make it without grace. The Bible tells us that this is part of love. You're not going to have a relationship unless you have forgiveness, mercy, patience, acceptance, grace. You've got to cut people some slack.
Rick Warren

Christianity is not a religion or a philosophy, but a relationship and a lifestyle. The core of that lifestyle is thinking of others, as Jesus did, instead of ourselves.
Rick Warren

The most essential quality for leadership is not perfection but credibility. People must be able to trust you.
Rick Warren

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.
Rick Warren
Image
The most common way Jesus comes into our lives is through a broken heart.
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
The bible says that all people, not just believers, possess part of the image of God that is why murder and abortion are wrong.
Rick Warren
Image
There is nothing quite as potent as a focused life, one lived on purpose.
Rick Warren
Image
Let your broken heart create an open heart
Rick Warren
Image
The Bible teaches that we are to love people and use money, but we often get that reversed and you start loving money and using people to get more money. Money is simply a tool to be used for good.
Rick Warren
Image
We're not in control but we do have a greater hope and we do have a source of joy that isn't based on our circumstances.
Rick Warren
Image
The Bible says that God puts government on earth to punish evildoers. Not good-doers. Evildoers.
Rick Warren
Image
I do believe in what I call the stewardship of influence as well as the stewardship of affluence. And that is you use whatever God gives you not for your own benefit, but use it to help people who have no benefit. And when you use whatever God gives you, he gives you more of it. When you use it well, he gives you more of it.
Rick Warren
