More quotes by John Piper
Pastors and missionaries (need) to know God and to find in him a Treasure more satisfying than any other person or thing or relationship or experience or accomplishment in the world.
John Piper
May we catch enough of a vision of Christ that we will not be satisfied unless we know him more fully.
John Piper
The mind serves to know the truth that fuels the fires of the heart.
John Piper
Books don't change people paragraphs do, Sometimes even sentences.
John Piper
One of the great uses of Twitter and Facebook will be to prove at the Last Day that prayerlessness was not from lack of time.
John Piper
Sanctification is a community project.
John Piper
It is not saving faith to confess Christ as true. Saving faith receives Christ as a Treasure.
John Piper
We cannot know what prayer is for until we know that life is war.
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
Intensity is all that matters in painting.
John Piper
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
Preaching is the pastor's main work, and preaching is heart work, not just mental work.
John Piper
The really wonderful moments of joy in this world are not the moments of self-satisfaction, but self-forgetfulness. Standing on the edge of the Grand Canyon and contemplating your own greatness is pathological. At such moments we are made for a magnificent joy that comes from outside ourselves.
John Piper
We need a Savior. Christmas is an indictment before it becomes a delight.
John Piper
The Christian life becomes impossible. That is, it becomes supernatural.
John Piper
Sleep is a daily reminder from God that we are not God. Once a day God sends us to bed like patients with a sickness. The sickness is a chronic tendency to think we are in control and that our work is indispensable. To cure us of this disease God turns us into helpless sacks of sand once a day.
John Piper
Love is the overflow of joy in God that meets the needs of others.
John Piper
What was once foolishness to us-a crucified God-must become our wisdom and our power and our only boast in this world.
John Piper
We weren't meant to be somebody--we were meant to know Somebody
John Piper
I am not a missionary, but I have wanted my life to count for the unreached peoples of the world.
John Piper
