One accurate way to describe abortion is subtle infanticide. That is: child-killing done in a way that the people don't recognize it as child-killing. That reality is why the word abortion exists. Some words are created to cloak reality the same way procedures are created to cloak reality. Abortion is cloaked child-killing
John Piper
O, God of wonder, enlarge my capacity to be amazed at what is amazing, and end my attraction to the insignificant.
John Piper
Darkness comes. In the middle of it, the future looks blank. The temptation to quit is huge. Don't. You are in good company... You will argue with yourself that there is no way forward. But with God, nothing is impossible. He has more ropes and ladders and tunnels out of pits than you can conceive. Wait. Pray without ceasing. Hope.
John Piper
To see Him and know Him and be in His presence is the soul’s final feast. Beyond this there is no quest. Words fail. We call it pleasure, joy, delight. But these are weak pointers to the unspeakable experience.
John Piper
Sanctification is a community project.
John Piper
Do not be more devoted to your own brain than you are to the Bible.
John Piper
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
If at the cross every sin was covered, Satan's mouth is shut. He has no weapon. He can gum you but his fangs are gone.
John Piper
The mind serves to know the truth that fuels the fires of the heart.
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
Forgiveness costs us nothing. All our costly obedience is the fruit, not the root, of being forgiven. That's why we call it grace.
John Piper
Bad theology dishonors God and hurts people. Churches that sever the root of truth may flourish for a season, but they will wither eventually or turn into something besides a Christian church.
John Piper
Headship is the divine calling of a husband to take primary responsibility for Christlike, servant leadership, protection, and provision in the home.
John Piper
When GOD is our deepest pleasure we display Him as our highest treasure.
John Piper
At one level, the message of the book of Ruth is that the life of the godly is not a straight line to glory, but they do get there.
John Piper
The Christian life becomes impossible. That is, it becomes supernatural.
John Piper
Worship is an inward feeling and outward action that reflects the worth of God.
John Piper
One of the most important discoveries I have ever made is this truth: God is most glorified in me when I am most satisfied in him. This is the motor that drives my ministry as a pastor. It affects everything I do.
John Piper
In Colossians 2:12 and 1 Peter 3:21 baptism is an expression of the faith of the person being baptized. I [do] not see how an infant could properly receive this ordinance as an expression of his or her faith.
John Piper
Worship is a way of gladly reflecting back to God the radiance of his worth. This cannot be done by mere acts of duty. It can be done only when spontaneous affections arise in the heart.
