Everybody's got a worldview. Everybody's betting their life on something. ... You just better know why you're betting what you're betting on.
Rick WarrenWearing a mask wears you out. Faking it is fatiguing. The most exhausting activity is pretending to be what you know you aren't.
Rick WarrenEmphasize reconciliation, not resolution. It is unrealistic to expect everyone to agree about everything. Reconciliation focuses on the relationship, while resolution focuses on the problem. When we focus on reconciliation, the problem loses significance and often becomes irrelevant.
Rick WarrenEvery day I get a choice. I can choose to go God's way or I can choose to go my own way or Satan's way or if I walk out of this door I don't know that I blame myself if my choice. .. because the bottom line is I want what I want what I want. ... People ask me what the greatest sin is. I feel the greatest sin is to want to be God: Pride, I want my own way. What it means to be a follower of Jesus Christ - give as much of yourself as you understand to as much of Jesus as you understand at that moment.
