Neither Muslims nor anyone else truly worships the true God if they reject Jesus as he really is in the Gospels.
John Piper
If grace is to be free - which is the very meaning of grace - we cannot view it as something to be repaid.
John Piper
One way to appreciate C.S. Lewis is to see how his Christian humility shaped his life and work.
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
We will wait. We will wait till all is made righteous (glorious) according to the word of God.
John Piper
Adjust your doctrine - or just minimize doctrine - to attract the world, and in the very process of attracting them, lose the radical truth that alone can set them free.
John Piper

John Piper
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.
John Piper
The Lord is kind. He is good to all who take refuge under his wings.
John Piper
If we cannot claim to live sinless lives, then the only thing that can keep us from despairing before a holy God is that we have an Advocate in heaven and He pleads our case not on the basis of our perfection but of His propitiation.
John Piper
Mission exists because worship doesn't.
John Piper

John Piper
If we love God's fame and are committed to magnifying His name above all things, we cannot be indifferent to world missions.
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
You never outgrow your need to preach to yourself the gospel.
John Piper
God created us for this: to live our lives in a way that makes him look more like the greatness and the beauty and the infinite worth that he really is. This is what it means to be created in the image of God.
John Piper
It is unbiblical and arrogant to try to worship God for any other reason than the pleasure to be had in Him.
John Piper
Our obedience is God's pleasure when it proves that God is our treasure.
John Piper
He shook my dozing soul and threw the cold water of reality in my face, so that life and God and heaven and hell broke into my world with glory and horror. (on CS Lewis)
John Piper
God is not worn out running the galaxy. He’s not taxed at all guiding every dust particle all the time.
