The only thing that matters is here and the only thing that matters is now. And America's inability to delay gratification is because we do not have eternal thinking.

More quotes by Rick Warren
You never know God is all you need until God is all you have.
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
If your God doesn't look like Jesus, we don't worship the same God, sorry.
Rick Warren
Explanations don't comfort. You won't feel better if you know why. It won't hurt any less.
Rick Warren
In the end we must be merciful to the fallen, show grace to struggling, and be patient with the doubting. But when God's Word is clear we must not-and we cannot-back up, back off, back down, back out, or backslide from the truth.
Rick Warren
Biblical convictions are essential for spiritual growth and maturity. What is ironic today is that people often have strong convictions about weak issues (football, fashion, etc.) while having weak convictions about major issues (what is right and what is wrong).
Rick Warren
Through salvation our past has been forgiven, our present is given meaning, and out future is secured.
Rick Warren
Christians can be positive even in a negative situation because we know God has a purpose for allowing that problem.
Rick Warren
The key to friendship with God, he said, is not changing what you do, but changing your attitude toward what you do.
Rick Warren
Relationships, not achievements or the acquisition of things, are what matters most in life.
Rick Warren
It’s not just what you eat that matters, it’s what eats you. You can have all the right macrobiotics and organic food, but if your body is filled with resentment, worry, fear, lust, guilt, anger, bitterness, or any other emotional disease, it’s going to shorten your life.
Rick Warren
I could imagine God saying to a lot of us, Hey, I'm God, and you're not. You're not the general manager of the universe. And the greatest stress reliever is take God seriously, but don't take yourself seriously.
Rick Warren
After learning to love God (worship), learning to love others is the second purpose of your life.
Rick Warren
Living by faith isn't living with certainty. It's trusting God in spite of unanswered questions and unresolved doubts.
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.
Rick Warren
God's mercy to us is the motivation for showing mercy to others. Remember, you will never be asked to forgive someone else more than God has forgiven you.
Rick Warren
Your wisest moments will be those when you say yes to God.
Rick Warren
That's one of those questions I'm asked more often than anything else. Will my dog go to heaven? And I say well, the lion will lay down with the lamb.
Rick Warren
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
Remember how far you've come, not just how far you have to go. You are not where you want to be, but neither are you where you used to be.
Rick Warren
