Rick Warren


Richard Duane "Rick" Warren is an American evangelical Christian minister and author. He is the founder and senior pastor of Saddleback Church, an evangelical megachurch located in Lake Forest, California, currently the eighth-largest church in the United States.

He is also a bestselling author of many Christian books, including his guide to church ministry and evangelism, The Purpose Driven Church, which has spawned a series of conferences on Christian ministry and evangelism. He is perhaps best known for the subsequent devotional, The Purpose Driven Life, which has sold over 30 million copies, making Warren a New York Times bestselling author.

Warren holds conservative theological views. While holding traditional evangelical views on social issues such as abortion, same-sex marriage, and stem-cell research, Warren has called on churches worldwide to also focus their efforts on fighting poverty and disease, expanding educational opportunities for the marginalized, and caring for the environment.

Dios sonríe cuando lo amamos por encima de todo. Noé amó a Dios más que a nada en el mundo, ¡incluso cuando nadie más lo amaba! La Escritura afirma que «durante toda su vida Noé cumplió fielmente la voluntad de Dios y disfrutó una estrecha relación con Dios».3 Lo que Dios más desea es tener una relación de amor contigo. La verdad más asombrosa del universo es que nuestro Creador quiere estar en comunión con nosotros. Dios nos creó para amarnos, y anhela que nosotros también lo amemos. Él dice: «Porque más me deleito en la lealtad que en el sacrificio, y más en el conocimiento de Dios que en los holocaustos».4 ¿Sientes palpitar la pasión de Dios en este versículo? Él te ama de todo corazón y desea, en reciprocidad, que tú también lo ames. Como el anhelo de Dios es que lo conozcamos y pasemos tiempo con él, aprender a amarlo y ser amado por él debería ser el mayor objetivo de nuestra vida. No hay ninguna otra cosa que tenga tanta importancia. Jesús lo llamó el mandamiento más importante. Dijo: «Ama al Señor tu Dios con todo tu corazón, con todo tu ser y con toda tu mente … Éste es el primero y el más importante de los mandamientos».5

it’s easy to forget that the pursuit of happiness is not what life is about. Only as we remember that life is a test, a trust, and a temporary assignment will the appeal of these things lose their grip on our lives. We are preparing for something even better. “The things we see now are here today, gone tomorrow. But the things we can’t see now will last forever.”10

Father, I know you’re going to do some incredible things in your world today. Please give me the privilege of getting in on some of what you’re doing.” In other words, church leaders should stop praying, “Lord, bless what I’m doing” and start praying, “Lord, help me to do what you are blessing.

Without God’s power in your life, you are just running on your own energy. God never meant for you to do that. It’s like having a laptop that’s unplugged; the battery will eventually drain and shut down the computer. Why would you live like that when God created you for so much more?

The way you think determines the way you feel, and the way you feel determines the way you act. If you want to change how you act, you must begin by changing the way you think. Your thoughts are the autopilot of your life. Romans 12:2 says, “Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know

We often confuse our identity with our habits, but the truth is, habits can be changed! Habits are things you do. They are not who you are! You have weaknesses, but you are not your weaknesses. You are a unique creation of God, flawed by your nature and choices, yet deeply loved by God. No man or woman will ever love you as much as God does. His love for you is not dependent on your habits.
