Worship isn't an event to attend & watch. It's a lifestyle to be lived.
Rick Warren

The church must always show compassion, always.
Rick Warren
Image
Long before you were conceived by your parents, you were conceived in the mind of God.
Rick Warren

Americans spend more on beer than they do on books. No wonder their stomachs are bigger than their brains.
Rick Warren
Image
When we place our faith in Christ, God becomes our Father, we become his children, other believers become our brothers and sisters, and the church becomes our spiritual family. The family of God includes all believers in the past, the present, and the future.
Rick Warren
Image
The purpose of your life fits into a much larger, cosmic purpose that God has designed for eternity.
Rick Warren
Image
Get honest with God, and your focus will shift from just seeing your problems - no matter how overwhelming they seem - to the grace of God.
Rick Warren
Image
Many believe one can be a good Christian without joining (or even attending) a local church, but God would strongly disagree.
