Inspirational Quotes by Rick Warren
“Venir de circunstancias de privilegio y oportunidades no garantiza el éxito según la definición que Dios hace de este, ni haberse criado en circunstancias de abuso y pobreza condena a nadie al fracaso. En cualquier circunstancia, en cualquier momento, cualquier persona puede decidirse a seguir a Jesús. En ese momento, las circunstancias externas empalidecen frente a los recursos internos que provee el conocer y seguir a Jesús.”
“What did God say to me through this message? • How does my life measure up to this Word?”
“One of the primary mistakes that leaders today make, when called to lead, is spending most of their time and energy trying to improve things at the organizational level before ensuring that they have adequately addressed their own credibility at individual, one-on-one, or team leadership levels.”
“Para quienes siguen a Jesús de Nazaret, el mandato para cada uno ya ha sido establecido y comunicado por el Padre a todos sus hijos: «Amarás al Señor tu Dios con todo tu corazón, y con toda tu alma, y con toda tu mente, y con todas tus fuerzas» y «A tu prójimo como a ti mismo» (Marcos 12.30-31).”
“Antes de tratar de influenciar y reclutar a otros para que trabajen con usted en la creación de una visión convincente necesita estar claro acerca de su propósito personal. El propósito personal del líder debe guiar y alinear los esfuerzos de quienes le seguirán; en caso contrario, toda su relación se habrá levantado sobre un fundamento falso. Motivos escondidos y agendas ocultas sabotearán la confianza y la confianza es el ingrediente clave en cualquier relación guía-seguidor.”
“El fruto del gran liderazgo de servicio se hace realidad cuando un líder busca traspasar a la generación siguiente de líderes los desafíos de su época con toda la sabiduría, conocimiento y recursos espirituales que pueda proveer.”
“Seguir a Jesús y guiar como Él significa que está sirviendo a un propósito superior y que debe ser responsable a un nivel de esa altura en una manera que no todos entenderán ni aplaudirán. Al mismo tiempo, usted hará como Él hizo y se enfocará en servir a los demás ayudándoles a crecer y a desarrollarse.”
“The messages we communicate by our lifestyles are the most powerful messages we send. People are watching and listening. Not to the messages we wish we could give, but to the ones we can’t help but give—what we show them by the way we conduct our everyday lives.”
“Spend five minutes in silence before God, allowing Him to restore your soul. This practice may feel uncomfortable at first. Five minutes may feel like an hour. But you have to detox from noise addiction so you can hear the divine whisper of God.”
“Being the gospel always requires us to step out of our world and into someone else’s. It will require you to leave your comfort zone and step into someone else’s hardship and mess.”
“It is easy to teach your people how to lead someone to Christ. It’s not easy to inspire them to do it.”
“We give our life to Christ not because He demands it but because He deserves it.”
“The standard measurement of whether a country is rich or poor (in economic terms) is called “per capita income” (“per capita” means “per person”). Per capita income is calculated by dividing the total market value of everything produced in a nation in a year by the number of people in the nation.”
“Making equality a more important goal than overall economic growth is a mistake for a government, because merely distributing the same amount of wealth in different ways does not change the total amount of wealth a nation produces each year, which is the only way that any nation has grown from poverty to prosperity. Economic freedom and government-forced economic equality are opposing goals, and when government forces economic equality (for example, through heavy taxes on the rich), it can actually diminish economic incentives and harm the GDP.”
“We tried to think ahead of time of any questions the H.O.S.T.s might have and then gave the answers to them in writing so they could read them in the comfort of their home.”
“The Bible contains significant teachings that encourage the creation of goods and services. One example is the description of an “excellent wife” in Proverbs 31:10–31: “She makes linen garments and sells them; she delivers sashes to the merchant” (v. 24). She makes valuable products and so increases the GDP of Israel. This woman is productive, for “she seeks wool and flax, and works with willing hands” (v. 13). She produces agricultural products from the earth, because “with the fruit of her hands she plants a vineyard” (v. 16). She sells products in the marketplace, because “she perceives that her merchandise is profitable” (v. 18). (The Holman Christian Standard Bible translates this as, “She sees that her profits are good”; this is also a legitimate translation because the Hebrew term sakar can refer to profit or gain from merchandise.)”
“poor. They argue that greater economic equality is a matter of simple justice that governments should enforce. We certainly agree with the goal of helping the poor share in more of the wealth of a nation, and in several sections of the following chapters we discuss ways this can happen through fair, open, market-based solutions.7 The goal of this entire book is finding truly workable, sustainable ways to overcome poverty. However, some”
“Today, more than half of the people in our world live on less than $2 each per day, and one billion people are mired in extreme poverty, living on less than $1 each per day.”
“The results have been devastating. Today, more than half of the people in our world live on less than $2 each per day, and one billion people are mired in extreme poverty, living on less than $1 each per day.”
