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.

All the money needed to send and support an army of self-sacrificing, joy-spreading ambassadors is already in the church.
John Piper
Image
Does Christ get a good reputation because of the way we live? Is the excellence of Christ displayed in our lives? That should matter to us, not whether we ourselves are praised.
John Piper
Image
We do not choose suffering simply because we are told to, but because the one who tells us to describes it as the path to everlasting joy.
John Piper
Image
We make a god out of whatever we find most joy in. So find your joy in God and be done with all idolatry.

The root cause of abortion is the failure to be satisfied in God as our supreme love. And, for all the great legal work that needs to be done to protect human life, the greatest work that needs to be done is to spread a passion - a satisfaction for the supremacy of God in all things. That's our calling.
John Piper

Grace is the pleasure of God to magnify the worth of God by giving sinners the right and power to delight in God without obscuring the glory of God.

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.
John Piper

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
Our obedience is God's pleasure when it proves that God is our treasure.
John Piper
Image
People are not prepared or able to rejoice in suffering unless they experience a massive biblical revolution of how they think and feel about the meaning of life. Human nature and American culture make it impossible to rejoice in suffering. This is a miracle in the human soul wrought by God through His Word.

The importance of prayer rises in proportion to the importance of the things we should give up in order to pray

Sin is what you do when you are not satisfied in God.
John Piper
Image
Our deeds are not the basis of our salvation, they are the evidence of our salvation. They are not foundation, they are demonstration.
John Piper
Image
We belittle God when we go through the outward motions of worship and take no pleasure in His person.
John Piper
Image
Where feelings for God are dead, worship is dead.
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.
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.

Do not be more devoted to your own brain than you are to the Bible.
