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

God wanted us to choose to love him.
Rick Warren
Image
There is an entire generation who was too young to read 'The Purpose Driven Life' 10 years ago but are now asking the critical question, 'What on earth am I here for?'
Rick Warren
Image
Fellowship is a place of grace, where mistakes aren't rubbed in but rubbed out. Fellowship happens when mercy wins over justice.
Rick Warren
Image
The next sentence is one of the most important spiritual truths you will ever learn: God develops the fruit of the Spirit in your life by allowing you to experience circumstances in which you're tempted to express the exact opposite quality. Character development always involves a choice, and temptation provides that opportunity.

A church must grow larger and smaller at the same time. Larger through worship and smaller through small groups.
Rick Warren
Image
I can't get my wife to agree with me on everything or my kids to agree with everything.

Pain is the fuel of passion - it energizes us with an intensity to change that we don't normally possess.
Rick Warren
Image
To make the best use of your life, you must never forget two truths: First, compared with eternity, life is extremely brief. Second, earth is only a temporary residence. You won't be here long, so don't get too attached.
Rick Warren
Image
The Bible says that governments can do things that I'm not supposed to do as an individual. God has not put the law in my hands. He's put the law in the government's hands.
Rick Warren
Image
There is no growth without change, no change without fear or loss and no loss without pain.
Rick Warren
Image
Every church is flawed. Still, you'd better learn to love it since it's the only group Jesus said he's taking to Heaven.
Rick Warren
Image
Your value is not determined by your valuables, and God says the most valuable things in life are not things!
Rick Warren
Image
I could imagine God saying to a lot of us, Hey, I'm God, and you're not. You're not the general manager of the universe. And the greatest stress reliever is take God seriously, but don't take yourself seriously.
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
A person without conviction is a weak, jellyfish type of individual who mindlessly follows the crowd.
Rick Warren
Image
Patience puts up with those you'd like to put down
Rick Warren

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.

Without implementation, all of our Bible studies are worthless.
