Quote

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.

Image
God is more interested in your character than your comfort. God is more interested in making your life holy than He is in making your life happy.
Rick Warren
Image
Hiding your hurt only intensifies it. Problems grow in the dark and only become bigger and bigger, but when exposed to the light of truth, they shrink. You are only as sick as your secrets. So take off your mask, stop pretending you're perfect and walk into freedom.
Rick Warren
Image
You don't have to compromise convictions to be compassionate.
Rick Warren
Image
If you don't live by priorities, you'll live by pressures. Either you determine what's important in life or other people will determine it for you.
Rick Warren
Image
The race to be a leader is crowded, but the field is wide open for those willing to be servants
Rick Warren
Image
God is always more interested in why we do something than in what we do. Attitudes count more than achievements.
Rick Warren
Image
Everytime you forgive you disappoint the devil.
Rick Warren
Image
Never procrastinate in showing love. Don't delay. Don't put it off. Do it now.
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.
Rick Warren
Image
How much are you worth? Jesus says, with his arms stretched out on the cross, I'm willing to die for you, because you mean this much to me.
Rick Warren
Image
People need fewer 'ought-to' sermons, and more 'how-to' sermons. The deepest kind of teaching is that which makes a difference in people's day-to-day lives. Jesus spoke to the crowd with an interesting style. When God's Word is taught in an uninteresting way, people don't just think the pastor is boring, they think God is boring!
Rick Warren
Image
Because God is love, the most important lesson he wants you to learn on earth is how to love.
Rick Warren
Image
A church must grow larger and smaller at the same time. Larger through worship and smaller through small groups.
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.
Rick Warren
Image
We do not serve a distant and detached God who spouts encouraging cliches safely from the sideline. Instead, he enters into our suffering. Jesus did it in the Incarnation and his Spirit does it in us now. God will never leave us alone in our suffering.
Rick Warren
Image
Great people are just ordinary people with an extraordinary amount of determination. They simply don't know how to quit. They just keep on 'keepin' on'.
Rick Warren
Image
If you prayed as much as you worry, you'd have nothing to worry about.
Rick Warren
Image
Temptation always starts in your mind, not in circumstances.
Rick Warren
Image
We must learn to share the gospel in ways that show it is both GOOD and NEWS. The gospel is about what God has done for us and what we can become in Christ
Rick Warren
Image
Real life begins by committing yourself completely to Jesus Christ.
