John Piper
The cost of food in the kingdom is hunger for the Bread of Life.
John Piper
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

John Piper
Marriage is not mainly about being or staying in love. It’s mainly about telling the truth with our lives. It’s about portraying something true about Jesus Christ and the way He relates to his people. It is about showing in real life the glory of the gospel.
John Piper
Some of you will die in the service of Christ. That will not be a tragedy. Treasuring life above Christ is a tragedy.
John Piper
God is on the move to rescue people from misery to everlasting happiness, which can only be found in him.
John Piper
Grace is power, not just pardon.
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
