The essence of faith is being satisfied with all that God is for us in Jesus.

Image
It is not saving faith to confess Christ as true. Saving faith receives Christ as a Treasure.
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
Image
Don't marry so you can stop pursuing women. Marry so you can perfect the pursuit of ONE woman for a lifetime.
John Piper
Image
If we have no zeal for the glory of God our mercy must be superficial, man-centred human improvement with no eternal significance. And if our zeal for the glory of God is not a revelling in his mercy, than our so-called zeal, in spite of all its protests, is our of touch with God and hypocritical.
