The secret of endurance is to remember that your pain is temporary but your reward will be eternal.
Rick WarrenI've often said why does God leave us here on earth, once we accept Christ, once we're in the family, why didn't he just kill us. Why leave us here? Well, because he's working on our character through these trials, these tribulations, we're learning to practice what we're going to do in heaven. So really, the kingdom mindset is actually the eternal mindset. It's not just about eternal life. Eternal life is getting ready for that.
Rick WarrenThe very first task of leadership is to set the vision for the organization. If you don't set the vision, you're not the leader.
Rick WarrenIf you give it to God, He transforms your test into a testimony, your mess into a message, and your misery into a ministry.
