John Piper

The call of God does what the call of man cannot. It raises the dead.
John Piper
Image
The infinite reservoir of future grace is flowing back through the present into the ever-growing pool of past grace. The inexhaustible reservoir is invisible except through the promises. But the ever-enlarging pool of past grace is visible and God means for the certainty and beauty and depth to strengthen our faith in future grace.
John Piper
Image
The Lord is kind. He is good to all who take refuge under his wings.
John Piper
Image
If you live gladly to make others glad in God, your life will be hard, your risks will be high, and your joy will be full.
John Piper
Image
Faith begins with a backward look at the cross, but it lives with a forward look at the promises
John Piper
Image
Love is the overflow of joy in God that meets the needs of others.
