I wrote this poem called “The Calvinist” to capture a glimpse of God’s sovereign intersection with the life of a sinful man. There is no part of life where the greatness of God does not penetrate deeply. I want to help you feel that.

John Piper
Image

The gospel is not a way to get people to heaven it is a way to get people to God.
John Piper
Image
The Gospel is not how people get to heaven. The Gospel is how people get to God.
John Piper
Image
We ought to celebrate the positive glorious gifts of God, but the worth of God shines in a powerful way to the world when in the midst of suffering we still don't curse God but say The Lord gave and the Lord takes away, blessed be the name of the Lord.
John Piper

If you don’t know God as beautiful and satisfying, you don’t know him.
John Piper
Image
The deepest longing of the human heart is to know and enjoy the glory of God. We were made for this.
John Piper
Image
It is about the greatness of God, not the significance of man. God made man small and the universe big to say something about himself.
John Piper
Image
May we catch enough of a vision of Christ that we will not be satisfied unless we know him more fully.

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?
