We belittle God when we go through the outward motions of worship and take no pleasure in His person.
John Piper
Image
God loves to show mercy . . . His anger must be released by a stiff safety lock, but His mercy has a hair trigger.
John Piper
Image
Blind people don't decide to see. Jesus says, 'See!' and they see.
John Piper
Image
It is not saving faith to confess Christ as true. Saving faith receives Christ as a Treasure.
John Piper
Image
Desire that your life count for something great! Long for your life to have eternal significance. Want this! Don’t coast through life without a passion.
John Piper
Image
The greatest act of freeing happened when Jesus died in our place and paid our debt.
John Piper
Image
If you remove enjoyment of God from faith in God, it ceases to be faith.
John Piper
Image
From eternity to eternity, the beauty of God is pervasive and practical. Ask him to open the eyes of your heart (Ephesians 1:18). Give your life to this quest - seeing and savoring more and more of the happifying beauty of God.
John Piper
Image
The point is not that the resurrection is the price paid for our sins. The point point is that the resurrection proves the death of Jesus is an all-sufficient price. If Jesus did not rise from the dead, then his death was a failure, God did not vindicate his sin-bearing achievement, and we are still in our sins.

When all your favorite preachers are gone, and all their books forgotten, you will have your Bible. Master it. MASTER IT!
John Piper
Image
The key to praying with power is to become the kind of persons who do not use God for our ends but are utterly devoted to being used for His ends.
John Piper
Image
The immensity of His worth is reflected in the intensity of your worship.
John Piper
Image
The key to Christian living is a thirst and hunger for God. And one of the main reasons people do not understand or experience the sovereignty of grace and the way it works through the awakening of sovereign joy is that their hunger and thirst for God is so small.
John Piper
Image
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
Seek to see and feel the gospel as bigger as years go by rather than smaller. Never let the gospel get smaller in your heart.
John Piper
Image
Our lives become trivial. And our capacity for magnificent causes and great worship dies.
John Piper
Image
It horribly skews the meaning of the cross when contemporary prophets of self-esteem say that the cross is a witness to my infinite worth. The biblical perspective is that the cross in a witness to the infinite worth of God's glory, and a witness to the immensity of the sin of my pride.
John Piper
Image
Strong affections for God, rooted in and shaped by the truth of Scripture - this is the bone and marrow of Biblical worship.
John Piper
Image
Don't marry so you can stop pursuing women. Marry so you can perfect the pursuit of ONE woman for a lifetime.

Faith begins with a backward look at the cross, but it lives with a forward look at the promises
