More quotes by Rick Warren
God wants to use you to make a difference in His world. He wants to work through you. What matters is not the duration of your life, but the donation of it. Not how long you lived, but how you lived.
Rick Warren
Temptation always starts in your mind, not in circumstances.
Rick Warren
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
A church must grow larger and smaller at the same time. Larger through worship and smaller through small groups.
Rick Warren
Your birth was no mistake or mishap, and your life is no fluke of nature. Your parents may not have planned you, but God did. He was not at all surprised by your birth. In fact, he expected it.
Rick Warren
We are not saved by good works we are saved for good works. The Christian lifestyle is to be a lifestyle of goodness.
Rick Warren
A person without conviction is a weak, jellyfish type of individual who mindlessly follows the crowd.
Rick Warren

Rick Warren

Rick Warren

Rick Warren
God's Word is not meant just to inform you, but to transform you.
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
Pain is the fuel of passion - it energizes us with an intensity to change that we don't normally possess.
Rick Warren
Every temptation is an offer to doubt God's love and wisdom.
Rick Warren
Life minus love equals zero.
Rick Warren
Christians can be positive even in a negative situation because we know God has a purpose for allowing that problem.
Rick Warren
Well, in the first place, military service, they don't call it service for nothing. You are actually serving your country. And it is a worthy and valid vocation.
Rick Warren
