Image
All of history is moving toward one great goal, the white-hot worship of God and His Son among all the peoples of the earth. Missions is not that goal. It is the means. And for that reason it is the second greatest human activity in the world.
John Piper
Image
Worship is ultimate, not missions. Because God is ultimate, not man.
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
I am not a missionary, but I have wanted my life to count for the unreached peoples of the world.
John Piper
Image
Sin carries in it its own misery.
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
The only answer in these modern times, as in all other times, is the blood of Christ. When our conscience rises up and condemns us, where will we turn? We turn to Christ. We turn to the suffering and death of Christ—the blood of Christ. This is the only cleansing agent in the universe that can give the conscience relief in life and peace in death.

Adoption is the visible Gospel.
John Piper
Image
People are not prepared or able to rejoice in suffering unless they experience a massive biblical revolution of how they think and feel about the meaning of life. Human nature and American culture make it impossible to rejoice in suffering. This is a miracle in the human soul wrought by God through His Word.
John Piper
Image
Missions is the overflow of our delight in God because missions is the overflow of God's delight in being God.
John Piper
Image
Put your ear to the ground of God's word and listen to the rumble of His faithfulness coming.
John Piper
Image
There will be no passion to draw others into our worship where there is no passion for worship.
John Piper
Image
The ultimate purpose of life is to show that Jesus is more precious than life.
John Piper
Image
My Paradise: With Christ. Not sinning. No pain. New earth. Precious in that order.
John Piper
Image
Every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God.
John Piper
Image
In all the setbacks of your life as a believer, God is plotting for your joy.
John Piper
Image
If you don’t know God as beautiful and satisfying, you don’t know him.
John Piper
Image
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
Image
In demanding our praise God is demanding the completion of our pleasure (in him).
John Piper
Image
The call of God does what the call of man cannot. It raises the dead.
John Piper
