More quotes by John Piper
The deepest longing of the human heart is to know and enjoy the glory of God. We were made for this.
John Piper
Evangelicals are distraught over the state of America because they have not been taught that we're aliens here.
John Piper
Prayer as a relationship is probably your best indicator about the health of your love relationship with God. If your prayer life has been slack, your love relationship has grown cold.
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
The greatest enemy of hunger for God is not poison but apple pie. It is not the banquet of the wicked that dulls our appetite for heaven, but endless nibbling at the table of the world. It is not the X-rated video, but the prime-time dribble of triviality we drink in every night.
John Piper
Sin is what you do when you are not satisfied in God.
John Piper
The greatest act of freeing happened when Jesus died in our place and paid our debt.
John Piper
Feeling loved by God means feeling glad not only that He crushed His Son so that I can be forgiven, but that He's crushing everything that takes away from my praising of the glory of His grace.
John Piper
It is about the greatness of God, not the significance of man. God made man small and the universe big to say something about himself.
John Piper
Fight for us, O God, that we not drift numb and blind and foolish into vain and empty excitements. Life is too short, too precious, too painful to waste on worldly bubbles that burst. Heaven is too great, hell is too horrible, eternity is too long that we should putter around on the porch of eternity.
John Piper
You never outgrow your need to preach to yourself the gospel.
John Piper
If truth does not lead to falling in love, it fails.
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
I do not elevate the time or mode of baptism to a primary doctrine.
John Piper
Don't marry so you can stop pursuing women. Marry so you can perfect the pursuit of ONE woman for a lifetime.
John Piper
Too many Christians are fighting graduate school sins with a grammar school knowledge of God.
John Piper
The Lord is kind. He is good to all who take refuge under his wings.
John Piper
Love is the overflow of joy in God that meets the needs of others.
John Piper
The cross is not a mere event in history it's a way of life! Take up your cross DAILY, Jesus said!
John Piper
America is the first culture in jeopardy of amusing itself to death.
John Piper
