More quotes by John Piper
O that we would so love the gospel and have so much compassion for lost people that tribulation and distress and persecution and famine and nakedness and danger and sword and gun and terrorist would turn us not into fearful complainers, but bold heralds of good news.
John Piper
Faith is born and sustained by the Word of God, and out of faith grows the flower of joy.
John Piper
I am not a missionary, but I have wanted my life to count for the unreached peoples of the world.
John Piper
Fight for us, O God, that we not drift numb and blind and foolish into vain and empty excitements. Life is too short, too precious, too painful to waste on worldly bubbles that burst. Heaven is too great, hell is too horrible, eternity is too long that we should putter around on the porch of eternity.
John Piper
Life and death! They seem like complete opposites-at great enmity with each other. But for Paul-and for all who share his faith-there is a unity, because the same great passion is fulfilled in both-namely, that Christ be magnified in this body-our bodies-whether by life or by death.
John Piper
For the mind of faith, a promised act of God is as good as done.
John Piper
When the heart no longer feels the truth of hell, the gospel passes from good news to simply news
John Piper
Love is the overflow of joy in God that meets the needs of others.
John Piper
Sometimes people stumble over this vastness in relation to the apparent insignificance of man. It does seem to make us infinitesimally small. But the meaning of this magnitude is not mainly about us. It’s about God… The reason for ‘wasting’ so much space on a universe to house a speck of humanity is to make a point about our maker, not us.
John Piper
Every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God.
John Piper
The Gospel is not how people get to heaven. The Gospel is how people get to God.
John Piper
You can't praise what you don't prize.
John Piper
Our lives become trivial. And our capacity for magnificent causes and great worship dies.
John Piper
Too many Christians are fighting graduate school sins with a grammar school knowledge of God.
John Piper
It horribly skews the meaning of the cross when contemporary prophets of self-esteem say that the cross is a witness to my infinite worth. The biblical perspective is that the cross in a witness to the infinite worth of God's glory, and a witness to the immensity of the sin of my pride.
John Piper
If we cannot claim to live sinless lives, then the only thing that can keep us from despairing before a holy God is that we have an Advocate in heaven and He pleads our case not on the basis of our perfection but of His propitiation.
John Piper
The whole world lives for pleasure. The only difference is theirs is fleeting, while ours is forever in Jesus.
John Piper
There will be no passion to draw others into our worship where there is no passion for worship.
John Piper
The cost of food in the kingdom is hunger for the Bread of Life.
John Piper
We belittle God when we go through the outward motions of worship and take no pleasure in His person.
John Piper
