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
I've always said the shoes must never tell the foot how big to be.
Rick Warren
You do not grow stronger by accident - you grow stronger by intention.
Rick Warren
At the end of your life on earth you will be evaluated and rewarded according to how well you handled what God entrusted to you.
Rick Warren
Jesus measured greatness in terms of service not status. God determines your greatness by how many people you serve, not how many people serve you.
Rick Warren
If you want to know why you were placed on the planet, you must begin with God.
Rick Warren
Fellowship is a place of grace, where mistakes aren't rubbed in but rubbed out. Fellowship happens when mercy wins over justice.
Rick Warren
Because God is love, the most important lesson he wants you to learn on earth is how to love.
Rick Warren
Living in light of eternity changes your priorities.
Rick Warren
I happen to agree with many of the liberal emphasis on compassion, justice and equality. I just disagree that it's the government's role to provide everything.
Rick Warren
We may not always finish what we start but God always finishes what He starts.
Rick Warren
Heartless praise is not praise at all. It is worthless and an insult to God.
Rick Warren
I would say that God custom designed my weaknesses. I am not making God responsible for my sins.
Rick Warren
Faith in Jesus must be personal but it cannot be private.
Rick Warren
Absolutely nothing will revitalize a discouraged church faster than rediscovering it's purpose.
Rick Warren
Since God intends to make you like Jesus, he will take you through the same experiences Jesus went through. That includes loneliness, temptation, stress, criticism, rejection, and many other problems.
Rick Warren
Longing for the ideal while criticizing the real is evidence of immaturity. On the other hand, settling for the real without striving for the ideal is complacency. Maturity is living with the tension.
Rick Warren
Only you can be you. God designed each of us so there would be no duplication in the world. No one has the exact same mix of factors that make you unique. That means no one else on earth will ever be able to play the role God planned for you. If you don’t make your unique contribution to the Body of Christ, it won’t be made.
Rick Warren
Many people allow their need for other people's approval to control their lives. They spend their lives worrying about what others think of them.
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
Gods plan isn't a map for your life that you see all at once, but a scroll unrolled a little at a time.
Rick Warren
