Life is too short, too precious, too painful to waste on worldly bubbles that burst
John Piper
Image
The evil and suffering in this world are greater than any of us can comprehend. But evil and suffering are not ultimate. God is. Satan, the great lover of evil and suffering, is not sovereign. God is.

Many people are willing to be God-centered as long as they feel that God is man-centered
John Piper

The ultimate purpose of life is to show that Jesus is more precious than life.
John Piper
Image
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
Image
Grace is not simply leniency when we have sinned. Grace is the enabling gift of God not to sin. Grace is power, not just pardon.
John Piper
Image
Missions is the overflow of our delight in God because missions is the overflow of God's delight in being God.
John Piper
Image
We will wait. We will wait till all is made righteous (glorious) according to the word of God.
John Piper
Image
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.

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.
