Marriage is not mainly about being or staying in love. It’s mainly about telling the truth with our lives. It’s about portraying something true about Jesus Christ and the way He relates to his people. It is about showing in real life the glory of the gospel.
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
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

God aims to look valuable in the world, and that happens when we treasure him above all else.

The answer, The answer, my friend, is not yours to invent or create. It will be decided for you. It is outside you. It is real and objective and firm. One day you will hear it. You don’t create it. You don’t define it. It comes to you, and sooner or later you conform to it—or bow to it.

God is infinitely valuable. I can't think of anything that would have a greater impact on your life than for you to believe that.

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.

In demanding our praise God is demanding the completion of our pleasure (in him).
John Piper
Image
The highest act of love is the giving of the best gift, and, if necessary, at the greatest cost, to the least deserving. That's what God did. At the loss of His Son's life to the totally undeserving, God gave the best gift - the display of the glory of Christ who is the image of God.
John Piper
Image
If we have no zeal for the glory of God our mercy must be superficial, man-centred human improvement with no eternal significance. And if our zeal for the glory of God is not a revelling in his mercy, than our so-called zeal, in spite of all its protests, is our of touch with God and hypocritical.
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.
John Piper
Image
It is not saving faith to confess Christ as true. Saving faith receives Christ as a Treasure.
John Piper
Image
Out of the freedom from worry that God's generosity provides comes an impulse toward simplicity rather than accumulation.
