If at the cross every sin was covered, Satan's mouth is shut. He has no weapon. He can gum you but his fangs are gone.
John Piper
Image
The key that unlocks the treasure chest of God's peace is faith in the promises of God.

Worship is ultimate, not missions. Because God is ultimate, not man.

Lives of faith are the great mirror of the dependability of God.
John Piper
Image
I have tried to devote my life - with all my husband failures, father failures, pastor failures, friend failures, any other possible failures I'm sure I've done them - to the God-centeredness of God and my aspiring, yearning to join Him in that activity. God is passionate about hallowing the name of God.

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
Missions is not the ultimate goal of the church. Worship is. Missions exists because worship doesn't.
John Piper
Image
For the mind of faith, a promised act of God is as good as done.
John Piper
Image
Where feelings for God are dead, worship is dead.
John Piper
Image
At one level, the message of the book of Ruth is that the life of the godly is not a straight line to glory, but they do get there.
John Piper

Books don't change people paragraphs do, Sometimes even sentences.
John Piper
Image
God aims to look valuable in the world, and that happens when we treasure him above all else.
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.

Zeal for the glory of God motivates world missions
