More quotes by John Piper
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.
John Piper
The only answer in these modern times, as in all other times, is the blood of Christ. When our conscience rises up and condemns us, where will we turn? We turn to Christ. We turn to the suffering and death of Christ—the blood of Christ. This is the only cleansing agent in the universe that can give the conscience relief in life and peace in death.
John Piper
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 cross is not a mere event in history it's a way of life! Take up your cross DAILY, Jesus said!
John Piper
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
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
If you want to be a conduit for God's grace, you don't have to be lined with gold. Copper will do.
John Piper
When you see Jesus as your Treasure, the Spirit has blown through your heart.
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
God has ordained that our preaching become deeper and more winsome as we are broken, humbled, and made low and desperately dependent on grace by the trials of our lives.
John Piper
Where the Bible is esteemed as the inspired and inerrant Word of God, preaching can flourish. But where the Bible is treated merely as a record of valuable religious insight, preaching dies.
John Piper
God is on the move to rescue people from misery to everlasting happiness, which can only be found in him.
John Piper
In Colossians 2:12 and 1 Peter 3:21 baptism is an expression of the faith of the person being baptized. I [do] not see how an infant could properly receive this ordinance as an expression of his or her faith.
John Piper
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.
John Piper
Spiritual leadership is knowing where God wants people to be and taking the initiative to get them there by God's means in reliance on God's power.
John Piper
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
Some of you will die in the service of Christ. That will not be a tragedy. Treasuring life above Christ is a tragedy.
John Piper
People don't enjoy salt. They enjoy what is salted. We are the salt of the earth. We do not exist for ourselves.
John Piper
God seldom calls us for an easier life, but always calls us to know more of him and drink more deeply of His sustaining grace.
John Piper
The thought of building a life around minimal morality or minimal significance—a life defined by the question, “What is permissible?”—felt almost disgusting to me. I didn’t want a minimal life. I didn’t want to live on the outskirts of reality. I wanted to understand the main thing about life and pursue it.
John Piper
