Image
Love is the overflow of joy in God that meets the needs of others.
John Piper
Image
We belittle God when we go through the outward motions of worship and take no pleasure in His person.
John Piper
Image
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
Image
Don't coast through life without a passion.
John Piper
Image
It is not saving faith to confess Christ as true. Saving faith receives Christ as a Treasure.
John Piper
Image
Don’t be surprised. There is nothing new under the sun. Only endless repackagings
John Piper
Image
People don't enjoy salt. They enjoy what is salted. We are the salt of the earth. We do not exist for ourselves.
John Piper
Image
Waiting for the Lord in a season of darkness should not be a time of inactivity. We should do what we can do. And doing is often God's appointed remedy for despair.
John Piper
Image
If you remove enjoyment of God from faith in God, it ceases to be faith.
John Piper
Image
Mission exists because worship doesn't.
John Piper
Image
God did not just overcome evil at the cross. He made evil serve the overcoming of evil. He made evil commit suicide in doing its worst evil.
John Piper
Image
Sin is what you do when your heart is not satisfied with God. No one sins out of duty. We sin because it holds out some promise of happiness. That promise enslaves us until we believe that God is more to be desired than life itself (Psalm 63:3). Which means that the power of sin's promise is broken by the power of God's.
John Piper
Image
Bad theology will eventually hurt people and dishonor God in proportion to its badness.
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.
John Piper
Image
It isn't sex by itself that makes abortion. It is sex plus covetousness: desiring things that God does not will for us to have because we are not willing to find our satisfaction in him. Illicit sex and unencumbered freedom without children: for these we covet, and abortion is the result.
John Piper
Image
I have tried to devote my life - with all my husband failures, father failures, pastor failures, friend failures, any other possible failures I'm sure I've done them - to the God-centeredness of God and my aspiring, yearning to join Him in that activity. God is passionate about hallowing the name of God.

Grace is power, not just pardon.
John Piper
Image
Worship is a way of gladly reflecting back to God the radiance of his worth. This cannot be done by mere acts of duty. It can be done only when spontaneous affections arise in the heart.
John Piper
Image
Lavish giving and open homes are close to the center of life in Christ.
John Piper
Image
Life is wasted if we do not grasp the glory of the cross, cherish it for the treasure that it is, and cleave to it as the highest price of every pleasure and the deepest comfort in every pain. What was once foolishness to us—a crucified God—must become our wisdom and our power and our only boast in this world.
