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
Image
Prosperity cannot be a proof of God's favor, since it is what the devil promises to those who worship him. (Matt. 4:9)
John Piper
Image
The deepest and most enduring happiness is found only in God. Not from God, but in God.
John Piper
Image
I do not elevate the time or mode of baptism to a primary doctrine.
John Piper
Image
May we catch enough of a vision of Christ that we will not be satisfied unless we know him more fully.
John Piper
Image
I know of no other way to triumph over sin long-term than to gain a distaste for it because of a superior satisfaction in God.
John Piper

We do not choose suffering simply because we are told to, but because the one who tells us to describes it as the path to everlasting joy.
John Piper

Isn't it ironic that today people say, 'If you know the love of God, you don't have to worry when you go on in sin.' But the apostle John said, 'If you know the love of God, you won't be able to go on in sin.'

We need God in ways we do not know. Don't limit your experience of God to what you can think to ask. Ask for the unknown joy.
John Piper
Image
God created us to live with a single passion: to joyfully display his supreme excellence in all spheres of life. The wasted life is the life without this passion. God calls us to pray and think and dream and plan and work, not to be made much of, but to make much of him in every part of our lives.
John Piper
Image
God created us for this: to live our lives in a way that makes him look more like the greatness and the beauty and the infinite worth that he really is. This is what it means to be created in the image of God.
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
Marriage. The roots are deep. The covenant is solid. The love is sweet. Life is hard. And God is good.
John Piper
Image
The evil and suffering in this world are greater than any of us can comprehend. But evil and suffering are not ultimate. God is. Satan, the great lover of evil and suffering, is not sovereign. God is.
John Piper
Image
You never outgrow your need to preach to yourself the gospel.
John Piper
Image
O, God of wonder, enlarge my capacity to be amazed at what is amazing, and end my attraction to the insignificant.
John Piper
Image
Our deeds are not the basis of our salvation, they are the evidence of our salvation. They are not foundation, they are demonstration.
John Piper
Image
We need a Savior. Christmas is an indictment before it becomes a delight.
John Piper

Love is the overflow of joy in God that meets the needs of others.
