More quotes by John Piper
God took the record of all your sins-all your sexual failures-that made you a debtor to wrath, and instead of holding them up in front of your face and using them as the warrant to send you to hell, he put them in the palm of his Son’s hand and nailed them to the cross.
John Piper
Every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God.
John Piper
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
If you remove enjoyment of God from faith in God, it ceases to be faith.
John Piper
You can't praise what you don't prize.
John Piper
America is the first culture in jeopardy of amusing itself to death.
John Piper
The immensity of His worth is reflected in the intensity of your worship.
John Piper
The greatest enemy of hunger for God is not poison but apple pie. It is not the banquet of the wicked that dulls our appetite for heaven, but endless nibbling at the table of the world. It is not the X-rated video, but the prime-time dribble of triviality we drink in every night.
John Piper
Don’t be surprised. There is nothing new under the sun. Only endless repackagings
John Piper
Don't marry so you can stop pursuing women. Marry so you can perfect the pursuit of ONE woman for a lifetime.
John Piper
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.
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
May we catch enough of a vision of Christ that we will not be satisfied unless we know him more fully.
John Piper
Sin is what you do when you are not satisfied in God.
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
Ignatius, when he heard the clock strike, would say, Now I have another hour to answer for. (Eph. 5:16)
John Piper
Reading is more important to me than eating.
John Piper
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
Wise people know that all their money belongs to God.
John Piper
Adoption is the visible Gospel.
