We ought not speak too long about God with our minds before we turn and speak to God from our heart. We must stir a lot of prayer into the stew of our theology.
John Piper
Image
Doing things in secret that you are ashamed for others to know is practical atheism. God's knowing doesn't count?
John Piper
Image
Preaching is the pastor's main work, and preaching is heart work, not just mental work.
John Piper
Image
We cannot know what prayer is for until we know that life is war.
John Piper
Image
You can't praise what you don't prize.
John Piper
Image
It is about the greatness of God, not the significance of man. God made man small and the universe big to say something about himself.
John Piper
Image
I know of no other way to triumph over sin long-term than to gain a distaste for it because of a superior satisfaction in God.
John Piper

The ultimate purpose of life is to show that Jesus is more precious than life.
John Piper
Image
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
Image
Bad theology dishonors God and hurts people. Churches that sever the root of truth may flourish for a season, but they will wither eventually or turn into something besides a Christian church.
John Piper
Image
The infinite reservoir of future grace is flowing back through the present into the ever-growing pool of past grace. The inexhaustible reservoir is invisible except through the promises. But the ever-enlarging pool of past grace is visible and God means for the certainty and beauty and depth to strengthen our faith in future grace.
John Piper
Image
Worship is ultimate, not missions. Because God is ultimate, not man.
John Piper
Image
At one level, the message of the book of Ruth is that the life of the godly is not a straight line to glory, but they do get there.
John Piper
Image
Will I find spiritual communion with God sweet enough, and hope in his promises deep enough, not just to cope, but to flourish and rejoice in him?
John Piper
Image
Worship is a way of gladly reflecting back to God the radiance of His worth.
John Piper
Image
Why does God bless us with abundance? So we can have enough to live on and then use the rest for all manner of good works that alleviate spiritual and physical misery. Enough for us abundance for others.
John Piper
Image
Life is too short, too precious, too painful to waste on worldly bubbles that burst
John Piper
Image
Missions is the overflow of our delight in God because missions is the overflow of God's delight in being God.
