More quotes by John Piper
Out of the freedom from worry that God's generosity provides comes an impulse toward simplicity rather than accumulation.
John Piper
Don’t be surprised. There is nothing new under the sun. Only endless repackagings
John Piper
God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him.
John Piper
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
Preaching is the pastor's main work, and preaching is heart work, not just mental work.
John Piper
It isn't sex by itself that makes abortion. It is sex plus covetousness: desiring things that God does not will for us to have because we are not willing to find our satisfaction in him. Illicit sex and unencumbered freedom without children: for these we covet, and abortion is the result.
John Piper
Giving is a way of having what you need.
John Piper
Sin is what you do when you are not satisfied in God.
John Piper
People are not prepared or able to rejoice in suffering unless they experience a massive biblical revolution of how they think and feel about the meaning of life. Human nature and American culture make it impossible to rejoice in suffering. This is a miracle in the human soul wrought by God through His Word.
John Piper
Giving in a regular, disciplined, generous way-up to and beyond the tithe-is simply good sense in view of the promises of God.
John Piper
People don't enjoy salt. They enjoy what is salted. We are the salt of the earth. We do not exist for ourselves.
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
Blind people don't decide to see. Jesus says, 'See!' and they see.
John Piper
At one level, the message of the book of Ruth is that the life of the godly is not a straight line to glory, but they do get there.
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
Prayer as a relationship is probably your best indicator about the health of your love relationship with God. If your prayer life has been slack, your love relationship has grown cold.
John Piper
Ignatius, when he heard the clock strike, would say, Now I have another hour to answer for. (Eph. 5:16)
John Piper
Do not be more devoted to your own brain than you are to the Bible.
John Piper
One way to appreciate C.S. Lewis is to see how his Christian humility shaped his life and work.
John Piper
Do you feel more loved when God makes much of you or do you feel more loved when God at the cost of His Son allows you to make much of Him?
John Piper
