Redemption is not perfection. The redeemed must realize their imperfections.

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

Whenever your heart starts to be anxious about the future, preach to your heart and say, 'Heart, who do you think you are to be afraid of the future and nullify the promise of God? No, heart, I will not exalt myself with anxiety. I will humble myself in peace and joy as I trust this precious and great promise of God - He cares for me.'

Do not be more devoted to your own brain than you are to the Bible.
John Piper
Image
God took the record of all your sins-all your sexual failures-that made you a debtor to wrath, and instead of holding them up in front of your face and using them as the warrant to send you to hell, he put them in the palm of his Son’s hand and nailed them to the cross.
John Piper

The infinite reservoir of future grace is flowing back through the present into the ever-growing pool of past grace. The inexhaustible reservoir is invisible except through the promises. But the ever-enlarging pool of past grace is visible and God means for the certainty and beauty and depth to strengthen our faith in future grace.

Marriage. The roots are deep. The covenant is solid. The love is sweet. Life is hard. And God is good.
John Piper
Image
The key to Christian living is a thirst and hunger for God. And one of the main reasons people do not understand or experience the sovereignty of grace and the way it works through the awakening of sovereign joy is that their hunger and thirst for God is so small.
John Piper

Worship is an inward feeling and outward action that reflects the worth of God.
John Piper
Image
The essence of faith is being satisfied with all that God is for us in Jesus.
John Piper

The goal of missions is the gladness of the peoples in the greatness of God.
John Piper
Image
All the money needed to send and support an army of self-sacrificing, joy-spreading ambassadors is already in the church.
John Piper
Image
Put your ear to the ground of God's word and listen to the rumble of His faithfulness coming.
John Piper
Image
It is about the greatness of God, not the significance of man. God made man small and the universe big to say something about himself.
John Piper
Image
Lives of faith are the great mirror of the dependability of God.
John Piper
Image
True worship comes from people who are deeply emotional and who love deep and sound doctrine. Strong affections for God rooted in thrush are the bone and marrow of biblical worship.

Where passion for God is weak, zeal for missions will be weak.
