John Piper
Even on days when every cinder in our soul feels cold, if we crawl to the Word of God and cry out for ears to hear, the cold ashes will be lifted and the tiny spark of life will be fanned. For 'the law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul.'
John Piper

John Piper
Worship is an inward feeling and outward action that reflects the worth of God.
John Piper
We make a god out of whatever we find most joy in. So find your joy in God and be done with all idolatry.
John Piper
He shook my dozing soul and threw the cold water of reality in my face, so that life and God and heaven and hell broke into my world with glory and horror. (on CS Lewis)
John Piper
