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.

More quotes by John Piper
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.
John Piper
Missions is not the ultimate goal of the church. Worship is. Missions exists because worship doesn't.
John Piper
We will wait. We will wait till all is made righteous (glorious) according to the word of God.
John Piper
If you want to be a conduit for God's grace, you don't have to be lined with gold. Copper will do.
John Piper
The importance of prayer rises in proportion to the importance of the things we should give up in order to pray
John Piper
God is not worn out running the galaxy. He’s not taxed at all guiding every dust particle all the time.
John Piper
I will not waste my life! I will finish my course and finish it well. I will display the Gospel of the grace of God in all I do. I will run my race to the end.” - Paul
John Piper
One way to appreciate C.S. Lewis is to see how his Christian humility shaped his life and work.
John Piper
The Lord is kind. He is good to all who take refuge under his wings.
John Piper
If you don’t know God as beautiful and satisfying, you don’t know him.
John Piper
Prayer as a relationship is probably your best indicator about the health of your love relationship with God. If your prayer life has been slack, your love relationship has grown cold.
John Piper
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
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
One of the great uses of Twitter and Facebook will be to prove at the Last Day that prayerlessness was not from lack of time.
John Piper
Books don't change people paragraphs do, Sometimes even sentences.
John Piper
No one will be able to rise to the magnificence of the missionary cause who does not feel the magnificence of Christ.
John Piper
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
Giving in a regular, disciplined, generous way-up to and beyond the tithe-is simply good sense in view of the promises of God.
John Piper
Don't coast through life without a passion.
John Piper
Doing things in secret that you are ashamed for others to know is practical atheism. God's knowing doesn't count?
