Quote

We're going to serve in eternity. We're not going to sit around on clouds you know this whole idea of heaven is wearing white robes with angels and play a harp. To me, that would be hell. I can't think of anything more boring.

The Bible teaches that we are to love people and use money, but we often get that reversed and you start loving money and using people to get more money. Money is simply a tool to be used for good.
Rick Warren
Image
We are created for community, fashioned for fellowship, and formed for a family, and none of us can fulfill God's purposes by ourselves.
Rick Warren
Image
Without God, life has no purpose, and without purpose, life has no meaning. Without meaning, life has no significance or hope.

Emphasize reconciliation, not resolution. It is unrealistic to expect everyone to agree about everything. Reconciliation focuses on the relationship, while resolution focuses on the problem. When we focus on reconciliation, the problem loses significance and often becomes irrelevant.
Rick Warren
Image
When the Christian praises and gives thanks to God, this not only pleases God, but it enriches the Christian's life with joy. It is a reciprocating transaction between God and man.
Rick Warren
Image
When you jump across a canyon, cautious small steps and vacillation won't work. Sometimes you just have to go for it.

Don't' call it a failure, call it an education. Some of us are very educated.
Rick Warren
Image
America was built on rugged individualism, and today that has evolved into a culture of narcissism. But God didn't create you to live for you. If you want to follow Jesus, you have to put aside your selfish ambition.
Rick Warren
Image
Christians can be positive even in a negative situation because we know God has a purpose for allowing that problem.
Rick Warren
Image
While we wait for God to work for us, God is waiting to work through us.
Rick Warren
Image
The purpose of your life fits into a much larger, cosmic purpose that God has designed for eternity.

Focusing on ourselves will never reveal our life's purpose.
