A church must grow larger and smaller at the same time. Larger through worship and smaller through small groups.
Rick Warren
Image
Living by faith isn't living with certainty. It's trusting God in spite of unanswered questions and unresolved doubts.
Rick Warren
Image
If God was small enough for you to completely understand him, he wouldn't be big enough for you to completely trust him.
Rick Warren
Image
Love pays attention. Love listens to the fears and the doubts of others and treats them with respect. Love accepts others the way Jesus accepts you.

I believe that the purpose of influence is to speak up for those who have no influence. And fame is not for our own benefit, or notoriety is not for our own benefit, it's for leverage to do good.

There's much you can't change, but there's something important you can change: you.

Rick Warren

God wanted us to choose to love him.
Rick Warren
Image
The point is, there are some things worth dying for. There's no doubt about that. And I would die for my family. I would die for my freedom. I would die for my country.
Rick Warren
Image
Christians ought to have a reputation for being the most dependable people at work. They are always aware of who their true boss is.
Rick Warren
Image
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
Image
There's not a person on earth that God doesn't love, but God wants us to learn to love him back.
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.
