More quotes by John Piper
The answer, The answer, my friend, is not yours to invent or create. It will be decided for you. It is outside you. It is real and objective and firm. One day you will hear it. You don’t create it. You don’t define it. It comes to you, and sooner or later you conform to it—or bow to it.
John Piper

Our obedience is God's pleasure when it proves that God is our treasure.
John Piper
Not grace to bar what is not bliss, Nor flight from all distress, but this: The grace that orders our trouble and pain, And then, in the darkness, is there to sustain.
John Piper
At one level, the message of the book of Ruth is that the life of the godly is not a straight line to glory, but they do get there.
John Piper
If you live gladly to make others glad in God, your life will be hard, your risks will be high, and your joy will be full.
John Piper

John Piper
Why Christians do what they do is just as important as what they do. Bad motives ruin good acts.
John Piper
There will be no passion to draw others into our worship where there is no passion for worship.
