More quotes by John Piper
When GOD is our deepest pleasure we display Him as our highest treasure.
John Piper
Waiting for the Lord in a season of darkness should not be a time of inactivity. We should do what we can do. And doing is often God's appointed remedy for despair.
John Piper
The immensity of His worth is reflected in the intensity of your worship.
John Piper
The inner essence of worship is cherishing Christ as gain - indeed as more gain than all that life can offer - family, career, retirement, fame, food, friends. The essence of worship is experiencing Christ as gain. Or to use words that we love to use around here: it is savoring Christ, treasuring Christ, being satisfied with Christ.
John Piper
He shook my dozing soul and threw the cold water of reality in my face, so that life and God and heaven and hell broke into my world with glory and horror. (on CS Lewis)
John Piper
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
Redemption is not perfection. The redeemed must realize their imperfections.
John Piper
Life is wasted if we do not grasp the glory of the cross, cherish it for the treasure that it is, and cleave to it as the highest price of every pleasure and the deepest comfort in every pain. What was once foolishness to us—a crucified God—must become our wisdom and our power and our only boast in this world.
John Piper
I have tried to devote my life - with all my husband failures, father failures, pastor failures, friend failures, any other possible failures I'm sure I've done them - to the God-centeredness of God and my aspiring, yearning to join Him in that activity. God is passionate about hallowing the name of God.
John Piper
Missions is the overflow of our delight in God because missions is the overflow of God's delight in being God.
John Piper
The cross is not a mere event in history it's a way of life! Take up your cross DAILY, Jesus said!
John Piper
I will not waste my life! I will finish my course and finish it well. I will display the Gospel of the grace of God in all I do. I will run my race to the end.” - Paul
John Piper
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.
John Piper
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
We need a Savior. Christmas is an indictment before it becomes a delight.
John Piper
The Gospel is not how people get to heaven. The Gospel is how people get to God.
John Piper
For the mind of faith, a promised act of God is as good as done.
John Piper
If you don’t know God as beautiful and satisfying, you don’t know him.
John Piper
God did not just overcome evil at the cross. He made evil serve the overcoming of evil. He made evil commit suicide in doing its worst evil.
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
