God is not worn out running the galaxy. He’s not taxed at all guiding every dust particle all the time.
John Piper
Image
It has to do with seeing God. “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God” (Matthew 5:8).
John Piper
Image
So, you have three possibilities in world missions. You can be a goer, a sender, or disobedient. The Bible does not assume that everyone goes. But it does assume that the ones who do not go care about goers and support goers and pray for goers and hold the rope of the goers.
John Piper
Image
Will I find spiritual communion with God sweet enough, and hope in his promises deep enough, not just to cope, but to flourish and rejoice in him?
John Piper
Image
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
Image
The goal of missions is the gladness of the peoples in the greatness of God.
John Piper
Image
Loving God with all our mind means that our thinking is wholly engaged to do all it can to awaken and express the heartfelt fullness of treasuring God above all things.
John Piper
Image
Does Christ get a good reputation because of the way we live? Is the excellence of Christ displayed in our lives? That should matter to us, not whether we ourselves are praised.
John Piper
Image
Life and death! They seem like complete opposites-at great enmity with each other. But for Paul-and for all who share his faith-there is a unity, because the same great passion is fulfilled in both-namely, that Christ be magnified in this body-our bodies-whether by life or by death.
John Piper
Image
God did not just overcome evil at the cross. He made evil serve the overcoming of evil. He made evil commit suicide in doing its worst evil.
John Piper
Image
Our lives become trivial. And our capacity for magnificent causes and great worship dies.
John Piper
Image
Life is precarious, and life is precious. Don't presume you will have it tomorrow, and don't waste it today.
John Piper
Image
God took the record of all your sins-all your sexual failures-that made you a debtor to wrath, and instead of holding them up in front of your face and using them as the warrant to send you to hell, he put them in the palm of his Son’s hand and nailed them to the cross.
John Piper
Image
Not grace to bar what is not bliss, Nor flight from all distress, but this: The grace that orders our trouble and pain, And then, in the darkness, is there to sustain.
John Piper
Image
The apex of glorifying God is enjoying Him with the heart. But this is empty emotionalism where that joy is not awakened and sustained by true views of God for who He really is
John Piper
Image
Don't coast through life without a passion.
John Piper
Image
All the money needed to send and support an army of self-sacrificing, joy-spreading ambassadors is already in the church.
John Piper
Image
You never outgrow your need to preach to yourself the gospel.
John Piper
Image
For the mind of faith, a promised act of God is as good as done.
John Piper
Image
Our obedience is God's pleasure when it proves that God is our treasure.
