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. That promise enslaves us until we believe that God is more to be desired than life itself (Psalm 63:3). Which means that the power of sin's promise is broken by the power of God's.

We need a Savior. Christmas is an indictment before it becomes a delight.
John Piper
Image
God did not just overcome evil at the cross. He made evil serve the overcoming of evil. He made evil commit suicide in doing its worst evil.
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.

If you remove enjoyment of God from faith in God, it ceases to be faith.

If you want to be a conduit for God's grace, you don't have to be lined with gold. Copper will do.

Sometimes people stumble over this vastness in relation to the apparent insignificance of man. It does seem to make us infinitesimally small. But the meaning of this magnitude is not mainly about us. It’s about God… The reason for ‘wasting’ so much space on a universe to house a speck of humanity is to make a point about our maker, not us.

Faith is born and sustained by the Word of God, and out of faith grows the flower of joy.
John Piper

Worship is ultimate, not missions. Because God is ultimate, not man.
John Piper
Image
The ultimate purpose of life is to show that Jesus is more precious than life.
John Piper
Image
Adjust your doctrine - or just minimize doctrine - to attract the world, and in the very process of attracting them, lose the radical truth that alone can set them free.
John Piper
Image
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
Image
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

The call of God does what the call of man cannot. It raises the dead.
John Piper
Image
The wonder of marriage is woven into the wonder of the gospel of the cross of Christ, and the message of the cross is foolishness to the natural man, and so the meaning of marriage is foolishness to the natural man.

When the heart no longer feels the truth of hell, the gospel passes from good news to simply news

We cannot know what prayer is for until we know that life is war.
