Don't follow a defeated foe. Follow Christ. It is costly. You will be an exile in this age. But you will be free.

When the heart no longer feels the truth of hell, the gospel passes from good news to simply news
John Piper
Image
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.

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
The point is not that the resurrection is the price paid for our sins. The point point is that the resurrection proves the death of Jesus is an all-sufficient price. If Jesus did not rise from the dead, then his death was a failure, God did not vindicate his sin-bearing achievement, and we are still in our sins.

It horribly skews the meaning of the cross when contemporary prophets of self-esteem say that the cross is a witness to my infinite worth. The biblical perspective is that the cross in a witness to the infinite worth of God's glory, and a witness to the immensity of the sin of my pride.

John Piper
Image
All that looks like reality to us is dependent on God. There is creation and Creator, nothing more. And creation gets all its meaning and purpose from God.

Grace is power, not just pardon.
John Piper
Image
The really wonderful moments of joy in this world are not the moments of self-satisfaction, but self-forgetfulness. Standing on the edge of the Grand Canyon and contemplating your own greatness is pathological. At such moments we are made for a magnificent joy that comes from outside ourselves.
John Piper
Image
We are not as Christ-centered and cross-cherishing as we should be, because we do not ponder the truth that everything good, and everything bad that God turns for the good, was purchased by the sufferings of Christ.
John Piper
Image
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.

It is unbiblical and arrogant to try to worship God for any other reason than the pleasure to be had in Him.
John Piper

Why Christians do what they do is just as important as what they do. Bad motives ruin good acts.

If we love God's fame and are committed to magnifying His name above all things, we cannot be indifferent to world missions.
