In EVERY situation and EVERY circumstance of your life, God is always doing a thousand different things that you cannot see and you do not know.
John Piper
Image
May we catch enough of a vision of Christ that we will not be satisfied unless we know him more fully.
John Piper
Image
I do not aim to be immediately practical but eternally helpful.
John Piper
Image
The right creative act makes its own laws, and always will do.
John Piper
Image
We belittle God when we go through the outward motions of worship and take no pleasure in His person.
John Piper
Image
In our proud love affair with ourselves we pour contempt, whether we know it or not, on the worth of God's glory. As our pride pours contempt upon God's glory, His righteousness obliges Him to pour wrath upon our pride.
John Piper
Image
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
Image
Why does God bless us with abundance? So we can have enough to live on and then use the rest for all manner of good works that alleviate spiritual and physical misery. Enough for us abundance for others.
John Piper
Image
Darkness comes. In the middle of it, the future looks blank. The temptation to quit is huge. Don't. You are in good company... You will argue with yourself that there is no way forward. But with God, nothing is impossible. He has more ropes and ladders and tunnels out of pits than you can conceive. Wait. Pray without ceasing. Hope.
John Piper
Image
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
Image
We give glory to God when we trust him to do what he has promised to do-especially when all human possibilities are exhausted. Faith glorifies God. That is why God planned for faith to be the way we are justified.
John Piper
Image
The deepest and most enduring happiness is found only in God. Not from God, but in God.
John Piper
Image
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
Image
Sin is what you do when your heart is not satisfied with God. No one sins out of duty. We sin because it holds out some promise of happiness.
John Piper
Image
Forgiveness costs us nothing. All our costly obedience is the fruit, not the root, of being forgiven. That's why we call it grace.
John Piper
Image
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
Image
Doing things in secret that you are ashamed for others to know is practical atheism. God's knowing doesn't count?
John Piper
Image
Pastors and missionaries (need) to know God and to find in him a Treasure more satisfying than any other person or thing or relationship or experience or accomplishment in the world.
John Piper
Image
Our deeds are not the basis of our salvation, they are the evidence of our salvation. They are not foundation, they are demonstration.

We weren't meant to be somebody--we were meant to know Somebody
