Image
Worship is an inward feeling and outward action that reflects the worth of God.
John Piper
Image
Worship is a way of gladly reflecting back to God the radiance of his worth. This cannot be done by mere acts of duty. It can be done only when spontaneous affections arise in the heart.
John Piper
Image
We belittle God when we go through the outward motions of worship and take no pleasure in His person.
John Piper
Image
God created us to live with a single passion: to joyfully display his supreme excellence in all spheres of life. The wasted life is the life without this passion. God calls us to pray and think and dream and plan and work, not to be made much of, but to make much of him in every part of our lives.
John Piper
Image
The mind serves to know the truth that fuels the fires of the heart.
John Piper
Image
Sin is what you do when your heart is not satisfied with God. No one sins out of duty. We sin because it holds out some promise of happiness.
John Piper
Image
Every sin flows from the failure to treasure the glory of God above all things.
John Piper
Image
All the money needed to send and support an army of self-sacrificing, joy-spreading ambassadors is already in the church.
John Piper

The root cause of abortion is the failure to be satisfied in God as our supreme love. And, for all the great legal work that needs to be done to protect human life, the greatest work that needs to be done is to spread a passion - a satisfaction for the supremacy of God in all things. That's our calling.
John Piper
Image
Sanctification is a community project.
John Piper
Image
We make a god out of whatever we find most joy in. So find your joy in God and be done with all idolatry.
John Piper
Image
Journaling is a way to be a good steward of the Spirit's illuminations.
John Piper
Image
All of history is moving toward one great goal, the white-hot worship of God and His Son among all the peoples of the earth. Missions is not that goal. It is the means. And for that reason it is the second greatest human activity in the world.
John Piper
Image
God is on the move to rescue people from misery to everlasting happiness, which can only be found in him.
John Piper
Image
God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him.
John Piper
Image
Ignatius, when he heard the clock strike, would say, Now I have another hour to answer for. (Eph. 5:16)
John Piper
Image
All that looks like reality to us is dependent on God. There is creation and Creator, nothing more. And creation gets all its meaning and purpose from God.
John Piper
Image
Will I find spiritual communion with God sweet enough, and hope in his promises deep enough, not just to cope, but to flourish and rejoice in him?
John Piper
Image
The ultimate purpose of life is to show that Jesus is more precious than life.
John Piper
Image
The whole world lives for pleasure. The only difference is theirs is fleeting, while ours is forever in Jesus.
