Do you feel more loved when God makes much of you or do you feel more loved when God at the cost of His Son allows you to make much of Him?
John Piper

If we cannot claim to live sinless lives, then the only thing that can keep us from despairing before a holy God is that we have an Advocate in heaven and He pleads our case not on the basis of our perfection but of His propitiation.
John Piper

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.
John Piper
Image
From eternity to eternity, the beauty of God is pervasive and practical. Ask him to open the eyes of your heart (Ephesians 1:18). Give your life to this quest - seeing and savoring more and more of the happifying beauty of God.
John Piper
Image
Fight for us, O God, that we not drift numb and blind and foolish into vain and empty excitements. Life is too short, too precious, too painful to waste on worldly bubbles that burst. Heaven is too great, hell is too horrible, eternity is too long that we should putter around on the porch of eternity.
John Piper
Image
Worship is ultimate, not missions. Because God is ultimate, not man.
John Piper
Image
If we love God's fame and are committed to magnifying His name above all things, we cannot be indifferent to world missions.
John Piper
Image
Love is the overflow of joy in God that meets the needs of others.
John Piper
Image
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
Image
Neither Muslims nor anyone else truly worships the true God if they reject Jesus as he really is in the Gospels.
John Piper
Image
Don't follow a defeated foe. Follow Christ. It is costly. You will be an exile in this age. But you will be free.
John Piper
Image
Worship is an inward feeling and outward action that reflects the worth of God.
John Piper
Image
I will not waste my life! I will finish my course and finish it well. I will display the Gospel of the grace of God in all I do. I will run my race to the end.” - Paul
