I'm a pastor of a local church. I'm not a televangelist. I've never had a televised program. I'm a pastor. A pastor's role is to care and comfort, encourage, teach, and everything that I do, even when I meet with world leaders, is from a pastor's heart.
Rick Warren

One day it's all going to be clear. It's all going to make sense. You're going to be able to say, So that's why God allowed that in my life! Until then, God wants you to trust him.
Rick Warren
Image
Jesus is knocking at your door. Take hold of the better life by letting him into your life. Make him the boss of your life. It'll change everything.
Rick Warren
Image
I believe Jesus Christ came for everybody. I don't think he came for Christians. The Bible says take this good news to the whole world.
Rick Warren

Jesus said, I am the way to heaven. I'm betting that he's not a liar. I'm betting that he told the truth.
Rick Warren
Image
In Psalm 72, Solomon prays for power and fame but he says the purpose of influence is to speak up for others and one is the immigrant. He doesn't delineate between legal and illegal.

A pretentious, showy life is an empty life a plain and simple life is a full life.
