The whole world lives for pleasure. The only difference is theirs is fleeting, while ours is forever in Jesus.
John Piper

Life is too short, too precious, too painful to waste on worldly bubbles that burst
John Piper

Marriage is not mainly about being or staying in love. It’s mainly about telling the truth with our lives. It’s about portraying something true about Jesus Christ and the way He relates to his people. It is about showing in real life the glory of the gospel.

The goal of missions is the gladness of the peoples in the greatness of God.

Ignatius, when he heard the clock strike, would say, Now I have another hour to answer for. (Eph. 5:16)

Every good thing in the Christian life grows in the soil of humility. Without humility, every virtue and every grace withers. That’s why Calvin said humility is first, second, and third in the Christian faith.
John Piper
Image
God seldom calls us for an easier life, but always calls us to know more of him and drink more deeply of His sustaining grace.

Christians belive in a sovereign God who never says Oops. We believe that all our days ... are divine strokes on the canvas of our lives by the Master Artist who certified his skill, his power, and his love in the Masterpiece of Calvary. If you doubt His skill in painting your life - look at the Calvary
