Real life begins by committing yourself completely to Jesus Christ.

Rick Warren
Since God intends to make you like Jesus, he will take you through the same experiences Jesus went through. That includes loneliness, temptation, stress, criticism, rejection, and many other problems.

Rick Warren
I invite you to bow your head and quietly whisper the prayer that will change your eternity: Jesus I believe in you and I receive you.

Rick Warren
Christianity is not a religion or a philosophy, but a relationship and a lifestyle. The core of that lifestyle is thinking of others, as Jesus did, instead of ourselves.

Rick Warren
Then Jesus changed the situation. When he paid for our sins on the cross, the veil in the temple that symbolized our separation from God was split from top to bottom, indicating that direct access to God was once again available.

Rick Warren
God has a purpose behind every problem. He uses circumstances to develop our character. In fact, he depends more on circumstances to make us like Jesus than he depends on our reading the Bible.

Rick Warren
Jesus did not die on the cross just so we could live comfortable, well adjusted lives. His purpose is far deeper: He wants to make us like himself before he takes us to heaven. This is our greatest privilege, our immediate responsibility, and our ultimate destiny.

Rick Warren
Every time you defeat a temptation, you become more like Jesus!

Rick Warren
You discover your identity and purpose through a relationship with Jesus Christ.

Rick Warren
Jesus has not promised to build your ministry; he has promised to build his church.

Rick Warren
Use 'breath prayers' throughout the day, as many Christians have done for centuries. You choose a brief sentence or a simple phrase that can be repeated to Jesus in one breath.

Rick Warren
We do not serve a distant and detached God who spouts encouraging cliches safely from the sideline. Instead, he enters into our suffering. Jesus did it in the Incarnation and his Spirit does it in us now. God will never leave us alone in our suffering.

Rick Warren
Instead of focusing on that unappeasable person, refocus on Jesus, who accepts you unconditionally.
