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
The highest act of love is the giving of the best gift, and, if necessary, at the greatest cost, to the least deserving. That's what God did. At the loss of His Son's life to the totally undeserving, God gave the best gift - the display of the glory of Christ who is the image of God.
John Piper
Image
The right creative act makes its own laws, and always will do.
John Piper
Image
The inner essence of worship is cherishing Christ as gain - indeed as more gain than all that life can offer - family, career, retirement, fame, food, friends. The essence of worship is experiencing Christ as gain. Or to use words that we love to use around here: it is savoring Christ, treasuring Christ, being satisfied with Christ.
John Piper
Image
The more of God's Word you know and love, the more of God's Spirit you will experience.
John Piper
Image
If God's love for his children is to be measured by our health, wealth, and comfort in this life, God hated the apostle Paul.
John Piper
Image
Seek to see and feel the gospel as bigger as years go by rather than smaller. Never let the gospel get smaller in your heart.
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
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
The line of lovelessness is not drawn between speaking and doing, but between speaking and doing in the truth, and speaking and doing in emptiness. Truth turns word-love into deed-love.
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. 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.
John Piper
Image
My Paradise: With Christ. Not sinning. No pain. New earth. Precious in that order.
John Piper
Image
Sin carries in it its own misery.
John Piper
Image
Lives of faith are the great mirror of the dependability of God.
John Piper
Image
No one will be able to rise to the magnificence of the missionary cause who does not feel the magnificence of Christ.
John Piper
Image
The apex of glorifying God is enjoying Him with the heart. But this is empty emotionalism where that joy is not awakened and sustained by true views of God for who He really is
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 immensity of His worth is reflected in the intensity of your worship.
John Piper
Image
I measure Your love for me by the magnitude of the wrath I deserved, and the wonder of Your mercy by putting Christ in my place.
John Piper
Image
If truth does not lead to falling in love, it fails.
John Piper
