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

More quotes by John Piper
The inner essence of worship is cherishing Christ as gain - indeed as more gain than all that life can offer - family, career, retirement, fame, food, friends. The essence of worship is experiencing Christ as gain. Or to use words that we love to use around here: it is savoring Christ, treasuring Christ, being satisfied with Christ.
John Piper
When you see Jesus as your Treasure, the Spirit has blown through your heart.
John Piper
It is not saving faith to confess Christ as true. Saving faith receives Christ as a Treasure.
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
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
God is not an employer looking for employees. He is an Eagle looking for people who will take refuge under his wings.
John Piper
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.
John Piper
Books don't change people paragraphs do, Sometimes even sentences.
John Piper
God created us to live with a single passion: to joyfully display his supreme excellence in all spheres of life. The wasted life is the life without this passion. God calls us to pray and think and dream and plan and work, not to be made much of, but to make much of him in every part of our lives.
John Piper
We will wait. We will wait till all is made righteous (glorious) according to the word of God.
John Piper
When all your favorite preachers are gone, and all their books forgotten, you will have your Bible. Master it. MASTER IT!
John Piper
Too many Christians are fighting graduate school sins with a grammar school knowledge of God.
John Piper
The mind serves to know the truth that fuels the fires of the heart.
John Piper
If a tornado twists at 175 miles an hour and stays on the ground like a massive lawnmower for 50 miles, God gave the command.
John Piper
So, you have three possibilities in world missions. You can be a goer, a sender, or disobedient. The Bible does not assume that everyone goes. But it does assume that the ones who do not go care about goers and support goers and pray for goers and hold the rope of the goers.
John Piper
I do not elevate the time or mode of baptism to a primary doctrine.
John Piper
Love is the overflow of joy in God that meets the needs of others.
John Piper
Sanctification is a community project.
John Piper
The best news of the Christian gospel is that the supremely glorious Creator of the universe has acted in Jesus Christ's death and resurrection to remove every obstacle between us and himself so that we may find everlasting joy in seeing and savoring his infinite beauty.
John Piper
Go, send, or disobey.
John Piper
