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.

More quotes by John Piper
Life is wasted if we do not grasp the glory of the cross, cherish it for the treasure that it is, and cleave to it as the highest price of every pleasure and the deepest comfort in every pain. 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
God tests His people through hardship.
John Piper
Zeal for the glory of God motivates world missions
John Piper
God is on the move to rescue people from misery to everlasting happiness, which can only be found in him.
John Piper
There will be no passion to draw others into our worship where there is no passion for worship.
John Piper
We ought not speak too long about God with our minds before we turn and speak to God from our heart. We must stir a lot of prayer into the stew of our theology.
John Piper
The whole world lives for pleasure. The only difference is theirs is fleeting, while ours is forever in Jesus.
John Piper

John Piper
Giving in a regular, disciplined, generous way-up to and beyond the tithe-is simply good sense in view of the promises of God.
John Piper
In demanding our praise God is demanding the completion of our pleasure (in him).
John Piper
Our lives become trivial. And our capacity for magnificent causes and great worship dies.
John Piper

John Piper
Intensity is all that matters in painting.
John Piper
We cannot know what prayer is for until we know that life is war.
John Piper
So saving grace, converting grace, for Augustine, is God's giving us a sovereign joy in God that triumphs over all other joys and therefore sways the will. The will is free to move toward whatever it delights in most fully, but it is not within the power of our will to determine what that sovereign joy will be.
John Piper
Don’t be surprised. There is nothing new under the sun. Only endless repackagings
John Piper
Wise people know that all their money belongs to God.
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
If truth does not lead to falling in love, it fails.
John Piper
God seldom calls us for an easier life, but always calls us to know more of him and drink more deeply of His sustaining grace.
John Piper
