Image
We belittle God when we go through the outward motions of worship and take no pleasure in His person.
John Piper
Image
If we have no zeal for the glory of God our mercy must be superficial, man-centred human improvement with no eternal significance. And if our zeal for the glory of God is not a revelling in his mercy, than our so-called zeal, in spite of all its protests, is our of touch with God and hypocritical.

The right creative act makes its own laws, and always will do.
John Piper
Image
Go, send, or disobey.
John Piper
Image
Desire that your life count for something great! Long for your life to have eternal significance. Want this! Don’t coast through life without a passion.
John Piper
Image
Isn't it ironic that today people say, 'If you know the love of God, you don't have to worry when you go on in sin.' But the apostle John said, 'If you know the love of God, you won't be able to go on in sin.'
John Piper
Image
The key to praying with power is to become the kind of persons who do not use God for our ends but are utterly devoted to being used for His ends.
John Piper
Image
I do not appeal to you to screw up your courage and sacrifice for Christ. I appeal to you to renounce all you have to obtain life that satisfies your deepest longings.
John Piper
Image
One of the most important discoveries I have ever made is this truth: God is most glorified in me when I am most satisfied in him. This is the motor that drives my ministry as a pastor. It affects everything I do.
John Piper
Image
Lives of faith are the great mirror of the dependability of God.
John Piper
Image
Reading is more important to me than eating.
John Piper
Image
If you remove enjoyment of God from faith in God, it ceases to be faith.
John Piper
Image
God is always doing 10,000 things in your life, and you may be aware of three of them.
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
Lavish giving and open homes are close to the center of life in Christ.
John Piper
Image
So, you have three possibilities in world missions. You can be a goer, a sender, or disobedient. The Bible does not assume that everyone goes. But it does assume that the ones who do not go care about goers and support goers and pray for goers and hold the rope of the goers.
John Piper
Image
Faith begins with a backward look at the cross, but it lives with a forward look at the promises
John Piper
Image
Taken as a whole, the story of Ruth is one of those signs. It was written to give us encouragement and hope that all the perplexing turns in our lives are going somewhere good. They do not lead off a cliff. In all the setbacks of our lives as believers, God is plotting for our joy.
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.

Ignatius, when he heard the clock strike, would say, Now I have another hour to answer for. (Eph. 5:16)
