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.
John Piper
Image
The mind serves to know the truth that fuels the fires of the heart.
John Piper
Image
Redemption is not perfection. The redeemed must realize their imperfections.
John Piper
Image
Many people are willing to be God-centered as long as they feel that God is man-centered
John Piper

Where feelings for God are dead, worship is dead.
John Piper

It is not saving faith to confess Christ as true. Saving faith receives Christ as a Treasure.

The cost of food in the kingdom is hunger for the Bread of Life.
John Piper

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
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.

Christians belive in a sovereign God who never says Oops. We believe that all our days ... are divine strokes on the canvas of our lives by the Master Artist who certified his skill, his power, and his love in the Masterpiece of Calvary. If you doubt His skill in painting your life - look at the Calvary

In all the setbacks of your life as a believer, God is plotting for your joy.
John Piper

If you don’t know God as beautiful and satisfying, you don’t know him.
John Piper
Image
The line of lovelessness is not drawn between speaking and doing, but between speaking and doing in the truth, and speaking and doing in emptiness. Truth turns word-love into deed-love.
John Piper
Image
Waiting for the Lord in a season of darkness should not be a time of inactivity. We should do what we can do. And doing is often God's appointed remedy for despair.
John Piper
Image
You can't make yourself saved. This is very threatening to people, even Christians, because of what it seems to say about freedom.
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
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.

God aims to look valuable in the world, and that happens when we treasure him above all else.
