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.'

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.
John Piper

God is infinitely valuable. I can't think of anything that would have a greater impact on your life than for you to believe that.
John Piper
Image
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
Image
If you want to be a conduit for God's grace, you don't have to be lined with gold. Copper will do.
John Piper
Image
The best news of the Christian gospel is that the supremely glorious Creator of the universe has acted in Jesus Christ's death and resurrection to remove every obstacle between us and himself so that we may find everlasting joy in seeing and savoring his infinite beauty.

We are far too easily pleased.
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
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.

If a tornado twists at 175 miles an hour and stays on the ground like a massive lawnmower for 50 miles, God gave the command.
