More quotes by John Piper
Why Christians do what they do is just as important as what they do. Bad motives ruin good acts.
John Piper
Sometimes people stumble over this vastness in relation to the apparent insignificance of man. It does seem to make us infinitesimally small. But the meaning of this magnitude is not mainly about us. It’s about God… The reason for ‘wasting’ so much space on a universe to house a speck of humanity is to make a point about our maker, not us.
John Piper
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
We belittle God when we go through the outward motions of worship and take no pleasure in His person.
John Piper
The greatest act of freeing happened when Jesus died in our place and paid our debt.
John Piper
Journaling is a way to be a good steward of the Spirit's illuminations.
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
Here is a vocation that will bring you more satisfaction than if you became a millionaire ten times over: Develop the extraordinary skill for detecting the burdens of others and devote yourself daily to making them lighter.
John Piper
The essence of faith is being satisfied with all that God is for us in Jesus.
John Piper
Evangelicals are distraught over the state of America because they have not been taught that we're aliens here.
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
When all your favorite preachers are gone, and all their books forgotten, you will have your Bible. Master it. MASTER IT!
John Piper
Don't marry so you can stop pursuing women. Marry so you can perfect the pursuit of ONE woman for a lifetime.
John Piper
Missions is the overflow of our delight in God because missions is the overflow of God's delight in being God.
John Piper
Go, send, or disobey.
John Piper
Where feelings for God are dead, worship is dead.
John Piper
Our lives become trivial. And our capacity for magnificent causes and great worship dies.
John Piper
You never outgrow your need to preach to yourself the gospel.
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
Why does God bless us with abundance? So we can have enough to live on and then use the rest for all manner of good works that alleviate spiritual and physical misery. Enough for us abundance for others.
John Piper
