True worship comes from people who are deeply emotional and who love deep and sound doctrine. Strong affections for God rooted in thrush are the bone and marrow of biblical worship.

More quotes by John Piper
CHRISTIAN LIVING MOVES from what God has freely done for us in Christ to what we should freely do for others.
John Piper
To see Him and know Him and be in His presence is the soul’s final feast. Beyond this there is no quest. Words fail. We call it pleasure, joy, delight. But these are weak pointers to the unspeakable experience.
John Piper
You can't make yourself saved. This is very threatening to people, even Christians, because of what it seems to say about freedom.
John Piper
The essence of faith is being satisfied with all that God is for us in Jesus.
John Piper
Our obedience is God's pleasure when it proves that God is our treasure.
John Piper
God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him.
John Piper
The abortion industry kills as many Black people every four days as the Klan killed in 150 years.
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
Seek to see and feel the gospel as bigger as years go by rather than smaller. Never let the gospel get smaller in your heart.
John Piper
O, God of wonder, enlarge my capacity to be amazed at what is amazing, and end my attraction to the insignificant.
John Piper
Whatever opposes prayer opposes the whole work of ministry.
John Piper
Wise people know that all their money belongs to God.
John Piper
Sleep is a daily reminder from God that we are not God. Once a day God sends us to bed like patients with a sickness. The sickness is a chronic tendency to think we are in control and that our work is indispensable. To cure us of this disease God turns us into helpless sacks of sand once a day.
John Piper
My Paradise: With Christ. Not sinning. No pain. New earth. Precious in that order.
John Piper
When GOD is our deepest pleasure we display Him as our highest treasure.
John Piper
Prosperity cannot be a proof of God's favor, since it is what the devil promises to those who worship him. (Matt. 4:9)
John Piper
The only answer in these modern times, as in all other times, is the blood of Christ. When our conscience rises up and condemns us, where will we turn? We turn to Christ. We turn to the suffering and death of Christ—the blood of Christ. This is the only cleansing agent in the universe that can give the conscience relief in life and peace in death.
John Piper
The deepest longing of the human heart is to know and enjoy the glory of God. We were made for this.
John Piper
God tests His people through hardship.
John Piper
Every good thing in the Christian life grows in the soil of humility. Without humility, every virtue and every grace withers. That’s why Calvin said humility is first, second, and third in the Christian faith.
