Get honest with God, and your focus will shift from just seeing your problems - no matter how overwhelming they seem - to the grace of God.
Rick WarrenIf you always feel comfortable reading God's Word, you're either not reading ALL of it, or you aren't letting it sink in.
Rick WarrenI believe that - love is a choice. I believe that we love, that if I'm forced to love you then I don't know that I've really loved you.
Rick WarrenThe death, and the burial, and the resurrection of Jesus happened over three days. Friday was the day of suffering and pain and agony. Saturday was the day of doubt and confusion and misery. But Easter, that Sunday, was the day of hope and joy and victory. You will face these three days over and over and over in your lifetime. And when you do, you’ll find yourself asking, as I did, three fundamental questions: Number one, what do I do in my days of pain? Two, how do I get through my days of doubt and confusion? Three, how do I get to the days of joy and victory? The answer is Easter.
