Don't coast through life without a passion.

Blind people don't decide to see. Jesus says, 'See!' and they see.
John Piper

People are not prepared or able to rejoice in suffering unless they experience a massive biblical revolution of how they think and feel about the meaning of life. Human nature and American culture make it impossible to rejoice in suffering. This is a miracle in the human soul wrought by God through His Word.

The really wonderful moments of joy in this world are not the moments of self-satisfaction, but self-forgetfulness. Standing on the edge of the Grand Canyon and contemplating your own greatness is pathological. At such moments we are made for a magnificent joy that comes from outside ourselves.
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.

Prosperity cannot be a proof of God's favor, since it is what the devil promises to those who worship him. (Matt. 4:9)

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
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.
John Piper
Image
If you live gladly to make others glad in God, your life will be hard, your risks will be high, and your joy will be full.
John Piper
Image
God is always doing 10,000 things in your life, and you may be aware of three of them.

We are far too easily pleased.

I am not a missionary, but I have wanted my life to count for the unreached peoples of the world.
John Piper
Image
Mission exists because worship doesn't.
John Piper
Image
Out of the freedom from worry that God's generosity provides comes an impulse toward simplicity rather than accumulation.
John Piper
Image
Our obedience is God's pleasure when it proves that God is our treasure.
John Piper

Worship is ultimate, not missions. Because God is ultimate, not man.
