A church must grow larger and smaller at the same time. Larger through worship and smaller through small groups.
Rick WarrenIn all my travels, I've never seen a country's population more determined to forgive, and to build and succeed than in Rwanda.
Rick WarrenDuring the next 90 days, people are going to be more open to the Gospel than in years. It is God's responsibility to make people receptive; it is our responsibility to sow the seed.
Rick WarrenResentment always hurts you more than it does the person you resent. While your offender has probably forgotten the offense and gone on with life, you continue to stew in your pain, perpetuating the past. Listen: those who hurt you in the past cannot continue to hurt you now unless you hold on to the pain through resentment. Your past is past! Nothing will change it. You are only hurting yourself with your bitterness. For your own sake, learn from it, and then let it go.
