Rick Warren

The church must always show compassion, always.
Rick Warren

You drift through life and let things happen to you, or go by design and say, 'This is what I'm intended to do.' The Bible is very clear that God has a purpose. But even if I know that purpose, I can't fulfill it if I'm out of shape.

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
So when you say who does Christ die for? He died for the church, okay. I don't think God's death on the cross through Christ was a failure, if you are saying that. I do not believe that anybody he intended to die for is failing in that area.
Rick Warren
Image
Worry is focused thinking on something negative. Meditation is doing the same thing only focusing on God's word instead of your problem.
Rick Warren
Image
Most of us want to have enough... good works to get into heaven, but enough bad works to be fun.
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
Your illness is not your identity. Your chemistry is not your character.
Rick Warren
Image
In Eden, worship was not an event to attend, but a perpetual attitude.
Rick Warren
Image
In every growing church you will find leadership that is not afraid to believe God.
Rick Warren
Image
We may not always finish what we start but God always finishes what He starts.
Rick Warren

Failure isn't a character quality. It's just an event. How you respond to failure is your character.
