Every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God.
John Piper
Image
The importance of prayer rises in proportion to the importance of the things we should give up in order to pray
John Piper
Image
The offspring of the woman, Jesus Christ, came into the world to save women who have dethroned God, taken His place, defined personhood as tissue, and willed the death of their own child. It can't be reversed, but it can be forgiven. That is why Christ died.
John Piper
Image
Where passion for God is weak, zeal for missions will be weak.
John Piper
Image
The Lord is kind. He is good to all who take refuge under his wings.
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.
John Piper
Image
The point is not that the resurrection is the price paid for our sins. The point point is that the resurrection proves the death of Jesus is an all-sufficient price. If Jesus did not rise from the dead, then his death was a failure, God did not vindicate his sin-bearing achievement, and we are still in our sins.

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.

Sin is what you do when you are not satisfied in God.

The gospel is not a way to get people to heaven it is a way to get people to God.
John Piper
Image
God aims to look valuable in the world, and that happens when we treasure him above all else.
John Piper

The ultimate purpose of life is to show that Jesus is more precious than life.
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
Image
All that looks like reality to us is dependent on God. There is creation and Creator, nothing more. And creation gets all its meaning and purpose from God.
John Piper
Image
Don't coast through life without a passion.
John Piper
Image
You can't make yourself saved. This is very threatening to people, even Christians, because of what it seems to say about freedom.
John Piper
Image
I measure Your love for me by the magnitude of the wrath I deserved, and the wonder of Your mercy by putting Christ in my place.

One accurate way to describe abortion is subtle infanticide. That is: child-killing done in a way that the people don't recognize it as child-killing. That reality is why the word abortion exists. Some words are created to cloak reality the same way procedures are created to cloak reality. Abortion is cloaked child-killing

The essence of faith is being satisfied with all that God is for us in Jesus.

Great waves, and blaze with fire like them.In beauty, but do not condemn,The seamen who embark and fail,But only those who will not sail.
