If God's love for his children is to be measured by our health, wealth, and comfort in this life, God hated the apostle Paul.
John Piper
Image
Don't follow a defeated foe. Follow Christ. It is costly. You will be an exile in this age. But you will be free.
John Piper
Image
The whole world lives for pleasure. The only difference is theirs is fleeting, while ours is forever in Jesus.
John Piper
Image
I wrote this poem called “The Calvinist” to capture a glimpse of God’s sovereign intersection with the life of a sinful man. There is no part of life where the greatness of God does not penetrate deeply. I want to help you feel that.
John Piper
Image
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
Image
Humble us, O God, under your mighty hand, and let us rise, not as professionals, but as witnesses and partakers of the sufferings of Christ.

God is always doing 10,000 things in your life, and you may be aware of three of them.
John Piper

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
God created us for this: to live our lives in a way that makes him look more like the greatness and the beauty and the infinite worth that he really is. This is what it means to be created in the image of God.

Don't coast through life without a passion.
John Piper

When GOD is our deepest pleasure we display Him as our highest treasure.
John Piper
Image
Giving in a regular, disciplined, generous way-up to and beyond the tithe-is simply good sense in view of the promises of God.
John Piper
Image
God is on the move to rescue people from misery to everlasting happiness, which can only be found in him.
John Piper

It isn't sex by itself that makes abortion. It is sex plus covetousness: desiring things that God does not will for us to have because we are not willing to find our satisfaction in him. Illicit sex and unencumbered freedom without children: for these we covet, and abortion is the result.
John Piper
Image
Without extended, concentrated prayer, the ministry of the Word withers. And when the ministry of the Word declines, faith (Rom. 10:17 Gal. 3:2, 5) and holiness (John 17:17) decline. Activity may continue, but life and power and fruitfulness fade away. Therefore, whatever opposes prayer opposes the whole work of ministry.

Preaching is the pastor's main work, and preaching is heart work, not just mental work.
