Preaching is the pastor's main work, and preaching is heart work, not just mental work.
John Piper
Image
Adjust your doctrine - or just minimize doctrine - to attract the world, and in the very process of attracting them, lose the radical truth that alone can set them free.
John Piper
Image
In demanding our praise God is demanding the completion of our pleasure (in him).
John Piper
Image
The ultimate purpose of life is to show that Jesus is more precious than life.
John Piper
Image
Faith is born and sustained by the Word of God, and out of faith grows the flower of joy.
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
Image
Feeling loved by God means feeling glad not only that He crushed His Son so that I can be forgiven, but that He's crushing everything that takes away from my praising of the glory of His grace.
John Piper
Image
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
Image
So saving grace, converting grace, for Augustine, is God's giving us a sovereign joy in God that triumphs over all other joys and therefore sways the will. The will is free to move toward whatever it delights in most fully, but it is not within the power of our will to determine what that sovereign joy will be.

God is always doing 10,000 things in your life, and you may be aware of three of them.
John Piper
Image
God loves to show mercy . . . His anger must be released by a stiff safety lock, but His mercy has a hair trigger.
John Piper
Image
It is unbiblical and arrogant to try to worship God for any other reason than the pleasure to be had in Him.
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
Sanctification is a community project.
John Piper
Image
True worship comes from people who are deeply emotional and who love deep and sound doctrine. Strong affections for God rooted in thrush are the bone and marrow of biblical worship.
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
Grace is not simply leniency when we have sinned. Grace is the enabling gift of God not to sin. Grace is power, not just pardon.
