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

God keeps his promise, and he will not allow you to be tested beyond your power to remain firm; at the time you are put to the test, he will give you the strength to endure it, and so provide you with a way out.

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

hand God a blank sheet with your name signed at the bottom and tell him to fill in the details. The Bible says, “Give yourselves completely to God — every part of you … to be tools in the hands of God, to be used for his good purposes.”21

God says there is a direct relationship between how I use my money and the quality of my spiritual life. How I manage my money (“worldly wealth”) determines how much God can trust me with spiritual blessings (“true riches”).

George Bernard Shaw wrote, “This is the true joy of life: the being used up for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish little clot of ailments and grievances, complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy.
