The secret of endurance is to remember that your pain is temporary but your reward will be eternal.
Rick WarrenKeep your hope in the Lord and your eyes focused on the hope of Heaven, not just on the here and now.
Rick WarrenIf we condone torture, we yield the moral high ground to our enemies and encourage anyone who hates us to stoop to using that subhuman level against us. We reap whatever we sow.
Rick WarrenFrom the very beginning, I started preaching when I was 16 years old. So I began studying Scripture very seriously. I had done over a hundred revivals in Baptist churches before I was 20. So I am studying the Scripture as a kid and I'm noticing that Christians often wanted to excuse God from things that God doesn't need excusing from.
