Lives of faith are the great mirror of the dependability of God.
John Piper
Image
The more of God's Word you know and love, the more of God's Spirit you will experience.
John Piper
Image
I do not appeal to you to screw up your courage and sacrifice for Christ. I appeal to you to renounce all you have to obtain life that satisfies your deepest longings.
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.

Neither Muslims nor anyone else truly worships the true God if they reject Jesus as he really is in the Gospels.
John Piper
Image
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
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
We ought not speak too long about God with our minds before we turn and speak to God from our heart. We must stir a lot of prayer into the stew of our theology.
John Piper
Image
O, God of wonder, enlarge my capacity to be amazed at what is amazing, and end my attraction to the insignificant.
John Piper
Image
We cannot know what prayer is for until we know that life is war.
John Piper
Image
When all your favorite preachers are gone, and all their books forgotten, you will have your Bible. Master it. MASTER IT!
John Piper
Image
The whole world lives for pleasure. The only difference is theirs is fleeting, while ours is forever in Jesus.
John Piper
Image
When you see Jesus as your Treasure, the Spirit has blown through your heart.
John Piper
Image
What was once foolishness to us-a crucified God-must become our wisdom and our power and our only boast in this world.
John Piper
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. 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.
John Piper
Image
The Gospel is not how people get to heaven. The Gospel is how people get to God.
John Piper
Image
Intensity is all that matters in painting.
John Piper
Image
Bad theology will eventually hurt people and dishonor God in proportion to its badness.
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
Humble us, O God, under your mighty hand, and let us rise, not as professionals, but as witnesses and partakers of the sufferings of Christ.
