I'm naturally inclined to have sex with every beautiful woman I see. But that doesn't mean it's the right thing to do.
Rick WarrenWhen God wants to make a mushroom, he does it overnight, but when He wants to make a giant oak, He takes a hundred years. Great souls are grown through struggles and storms and seasons of suffering. Be patient with the process.
Rick WarrenLust is raw selfishness. It's all about my wants, my needs, my pleasure. Most love songs are actually lust songs.
Rick WarrenMy hermeneutics is when I see verses in Scripture that are "apparent" contradictions - I don't believe they are contradictions - I believe them both. I believe them both. I believe take up your cross and deny yourself and follow me, and I believe come unto me all you who are weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest. They are different sides of the same thing.
Rick Warren
