When the heart no longer feels the truth of hell, the gospel passes from good news to simply news
John Piper
The greatest act of freeing happened when Jesus died in our place and paid our debt.
John Piper

John Piper
Here is a vocation that will bring you more satisfaction than if you became a millionaire ten times over: Develop the extraordinary skill for detecting the burdens of others and devote yourself daily to making them lighter.
John Piper

John Piper
