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 WarrenLiving by faith isn't living with certainty. It's trusting God in spite of unanswered questions and unresolved doubts.
Rick WarrenThe fact is, ministry is too unpredictable to be motivated by security. Itโs too unprofitable to be motivated by money. Itโs too demanding to be motivated by pleasure, and itโs too criticized to be motivated by fame. Our ministry should be motivated by the pleasure of God, and God is pleased when we have a ministry powered by faith.
Rick WarrenThe Bible tells us that there are some things worth fighting for. In fact, the Bible says there's some things worth dying for.
