More quotes by John Piper
The gospel is not a way to get people to heaven it is a way to get people to God.
John Piper
In our proud love affair with ourselves we pour contempt, whether we know it or not, on the worth of God's glory. As our pride pours contempt upon God's glory, His righteousness obliges Him to pour wrath upon our pride.
John Piper
The happiest and holiest children in the world are the children whose fathers succeed in winning both their tender affection and their reverential and loving fear. And they are the children who will come to understand most easily the mystery of the fatherhood of God.
John Piper
The essence of faith is being satisfied with all that God is for us in Jesus.
John Piper
Doing things in secret that you are ashamed for others to know is practical atheism. God's knowing doesn't count?
John Piper
There will be no passion to draw others into our worship where there is no passion for worship.
John Piper
I do not aim to be immediately practical but eternally helpful.
John Piper
So, you have three possibilities in world missions. You can be a goer, a sender, or disobedient. The Bible does not assume that everyone goes. But it does assume that the ones who do not go care about goers and support goers and pray for goers and hold the rope of the goers.
John Piper
When you see Jesus as your Treasure, the Spirit has blown through your heart.
John Piper
For the mind of faith, a promised act of God is as good as done.
John Piper
The abortion industry kills as many Black people every four days as the Klan killed in 150 years.
John Piper
Love is the overflow of joy in God that meets the needs of others.
John Piper
Too many Christians are fighting graduate school sins with a grammar school knowledge of God.
John Piper
The cross is not a mere event in history it's a way of life! Take up your cross DAILY, Jesus said!
John Piper
We ought to celebrate the positive glorious gifts of God, but the worth of God shines in a powerful way to the world when in the midst of suffering we still don't curse God but say The Lord gave and the Lord takes away, blessed be the name of the Lord.
John Piper
If you must choose between loving someone and acting so that they feel loved, always choose to love them.
John Piper
The offspring of the woman, Jesus Christ, came into the world to save women who have dethroned God, taken His place, defined personhood as tissue, and willed the death of their own child. It can't be reversed, but it can be forgiven. That is why Christ died.
John Piper
There is a war going on. All talk of a Christian's right to live luxuriously as a child of the King in this atmosphere sounds hollow - especially since the King himself is stripped for battle.
John Piper
To see Him and know Him and be in His presence is the soul’s final feast. Beyond this there is no quest. Words fail. We call it pleasure, joy, delight. But these are weak pointers to the unspeakable experience.
John Piper
Will I find spiritual communion with God sweet enough, and hope in his promises deep enough, not just to cope, but to flourish and rejoice in him?
John Piper
