Where passion for God is weak, zeal for missions will be weak.
John Piper
Image
Without extended, concentrated prayer, the ministry of the Word withers. And when the ministry of the Word declines, faith (Rom. 10:17 Gal. 3:2, 5) and holiness (John 17:17) decline. Activity may continue, but life and power and fruitfulness fade away. Therefore, whatever opposes prayer opposes the whole work of ministry.
John Piper

Life is too short, too precious, too painful to waste on worldly bubbles that burst
John Piper
Image
The key to Christian living is a thirst and hunger for God. And one of the main reasons people do not understand or experience the sovereignty of grace and the way it works through the awakening of sovereign joy is that their hunger and thirst for God is so small.
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.

The most dangerous thing in the world is the sin of self-reliance and the stupor of worldliness.

The answer, The answer, my friend, is not yours to invent or create. It will be decided for you. It is outside you. It is real and objective and firm. One day you will hear it. You don’t create it. You don’t define it. It comes to you, and sooner or later you conform to it—or bow to it.
John Piper

Life is precarious, and life is precious. Don't presume you will have it tomorrow, and don't waste it today.
John Piper

Our deeds are not the basis of our salvation, they are the evidence of our salvation. They are not foundation, they are demonstration.
John Piper
Image
Worship is a way of gladly reflecting back to God the radiance of his worth. This cannot be done by mere acts of duty. It can be done only when spontaneous affections arise in the heart.
John Piper
Image
The mind serves to know the truth that fuels the fires of the heart.

Wimpy worldviews make wimpy Christians. And wimpy Christians won’t survive the days ahead.

When you see Jesus as your Treasure, the Spirit has blown through your heart.

One way to appreciate C.S. Lewis is to see how his Christian humility shaped his life and work.
John Piper

God is on the move to rescue people from misery to everlasting happiness, which can only be found in him.
John Piper

Many people are willing to be God-centered as long as they feel that God is man-centered

The abortion industry kills as many Black people every four days as the Klan killed in 150 years.

God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him.
John Piper

Worship is ultimate, not missions. Because God is ultimate, not man.
John Piper

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.
