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
Image
Even on days when every cinder in our soul feels cold, if we crawl to the Word of God and cry out for ears to hear, the cold ashes will be lifted and the tiny spark of life will be fanned. For 'the law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul.'
John Piper

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.

Image
Sin is what you do when your heart is not satisfied with God. No one sins out of duty. We sin because it holds out some promise of happiness.
John Piper
Image
If grace is to be free - which is the very meaning of grace - we cannot view it as something to be repaid.
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.

People don't enjoy salt. They enjoy what is salted. We are the salt of the earth. We do not exist for ourselves.

God tests His people through hardship.

Sin is what you do when your heart is not satisfied with God. No one sins out of duty. We sin because it holds out some promise of happiness. That promise enslaves us until we believe that God is more to be desired than life itself (Psalm 63:3). Which means that the power of sin's promise is broken by the power of God's.

God is not an employer looking for employees. He is an Eagle looking for people who will take refuge under his wings.
John Piper
Image
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

I do not aim to be immediately practical but eternally helpful.

Prayer as a relationship is probably your best indicator about the health of your love relationship with God. If your prayer life has been slack, your love relationship has grown cold.

Only the # gospel can do two seemingly contradictory things: destroy pride and increase courage.
John Piper
Image
The wonder of marriage is woven into the wonder of the gospel of the cross of Christ, and the message of the cross is foolishness to the natural man, and so the meaning of marriage is foolishness to the natural man.

Redemption is not perfection. The redeemed must realize their imperfections.
