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 WarrenGod uses his Word, people and circumstances to mold us. All three are indispensable for character development. God's word provides the truth we need to grow, God's people provide the support we need to grow, and circumstances provide the environment we need to grow.
Rick WarrenWe do not have to make the Bible relevant - it already is! But we do have to show its relevance.
Rick WarrenYou measure a church's strength, not by its seating capacity but by its sending capacity.
