God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him.
John Piper
Image
We are not as Christ-centered and cross-cherishing as we should be, because we do not ponder the truth that everything good, and everything bad that God turns for the good, was purchased by the sufferings of Christ.
John Piper
Image
It is unbiblical and arrogant to try to worship God for any other reason than the pleasure to be had in Him.
John Piper

Faith begins with a backward look at the cross, but it lives with a forward look at the promises
John Piper

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.

Does Christ get a good reputation because of the way we live? Is the excellence of Christ displayed in our lives? That should matter to us, not whether we ourselves are praised.
John Piper
Image
We need God in ways we do not know. Don't limit your experience of God to what you can think to ask. Ask for the unknown joy.
John Piper
Image
Every good thing in the Christian life grows in the soil of humility. Without humility, every virtue and every grace withers. That’s why Calvin said humility is first, second, and third in the Christian faith.

The mind serves to know the truth that fuels the fires of the heart.

You can't praise what you don't prize.
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
If you remove enjoyment of God from faith in God, it ceases to be faith.

Christians belive in a sovereign God who never says Oops. We believe that all our days ... are divine strokes on the canvas of our lives by the Master Artist who certified his skill, his power, and his love in the Masterpiece of Calvary. If you doubt His skill in painting your life - look at the Calvary

The gospel is not a way to get people to heaven it is a way to get people to God.

Worship is an inward feeling and outward action that reflects the worth of God.

The more of God's Word you know and love, the more of God's Spirit you will experience.
