War is and always has been a brutal exercise that destroys lives, families and communities. It is never something for which we hope.
Rick WarrenAll things work for bad for those living in opposition to God and insist on having their own way.
Rick WarrenKeep your hope in the Lord and your eyes focused on the hope of Heaven, not just on the here and now.
Rick WarrenThe ground we have in common with unbelievers is not the Bible, but our common needs, hurts, and interests as human beings. You cannot start with a text expecting the unchurched to be fascinated by it. You must first capture their attention, and then move them to the truth of God's Word. By starting with a topic that interests the unchurched and then showing what the Bible says about it, you can grab their attention, disarm prejudices, and create an interest in the Bible that wasn't there before.
