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
God aims to look valuable in the world, and that happens when we treasure him above all else.
John Piper
Image
The more of God's Word you know and love, the more of God's Spirit you will experience.
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
The purpose of the Lord's Supper is to receive from Christ the nourishment and strength and hope and joy that come from feasting our souls on all that He purchased for us on the cross, especially His own fellowship.
John Piper
Image
Sin is what you do when you are not satisfied in God.
John Piper
Image
Lavish giving and open homes are close to the center of life in Christ.
John Piper
Image
Waiting for the Lord in a season of darkness should not be a time of inactivity. We should do what we can do. And doing is often God's appointed remedy for despair.
John Piper
Image
Out of the freedom from worry that God's generosity provides comes an impulse toward simplicity rather than accumulation.
John Piper
Image
I will not waste my life! I will finish my course and finish it well. I will display the Gospel of the grace of God in all I do. I will run my race to the end.” - Paul
John Piper
Image
God created us to live with a single passion: to joyfully display his supreme excellence in all spheres of life. The wasted life is the life without this passion. God calls us to pray and think and dream and plan and work, not to be made much of, but to make much of him in every part of our lives.
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
Mission exists because worship doesn't.
John Piper
Image
God did not just overcome evil at the cross. He made evil serve the overcoming of evil. He made evil commit suicide in doing its worst evil.
John Piper
Image
God is not worn out running the galaxy. He’s not taxed at all guiding every dust particle all the time.
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 make a god out of whatever we find most joy in. So find your joy in God and be done with all idolatry.
John Piper
Image
Worship is a way of gladly reflecting back to God the radiance of His worth.
John Piper
Image
Ignatius, when he heard the clock strike, would say, Now I have another hour to answer for. (Eph. 5:16)
John Piper
Image
Wimpy worldviews make wimpy Christians. And wimpy Christians won’t survive the days ahead.
