If you give it to God, He transforms your test into a testimony, your mess into a message, and your misery into a ministry.
Rick WarrenLeadership is learned, earned, and discerned. You develop it. It's based on trust and credibility. Others see it in you. You can't demand it.
Rick WarrenBible makes that really clear that there are rewards in heaven. I believe there is reassignment. In other words, faithful in little things I will trust you in much. And if you have not been faithful with that which is not his own, who will give you your own. And if you've been unfaithful with unrighteous mammon who's going to trust you the true riches of heaven.
Rick WarrenIt is a fatal mistake to assume that God’s goal for your life is material prosperity or popular success, as the world defines it. The abundant life has nothing to do with material abundance, and faithfulness to God does not guarantee success in a career or even ministry. Never focus on temporary crowns.
