Quote

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.

We give glory to God when we trust him to do what he has promised to do-especially when all human possibilities are exhausted. Faith glorifies God. That is why God planned for faith to be the way we are justified.

Missions is not the ultimate goal of the church. Worship is. Missions exists because worship doesn't.
John Piper
Image
We will wait. We will wait till all is made righteous (glorious) according to the word of God.

Desire that your life count for something great! Long for your life to have eternal significance. Want this! Don’t coast through life without a passion.
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.

No one will be able to rise to the magnificence of the missionary cause who does not feel the magnificence of Christ.

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.
John Piper
Image
Giving in a regular, disciplined, generous way-up to and beyond the tithe-is simply good sense in view of the promises of God.

Doing things in secret that you are ashamed for others to know is practical atheism. God's knowing doesn't count?
