More quotes by John Piper
The best news of the Christian gospel is that the supremely glorious Creator of the universe has acted in Jesus Christ's death and resurrection to remove every obstacle between us and himself so that we may find everlasting joy in seeing and savoring his infinite beauty.
John Piper
Go, send, or disobey.
John Piper
When GOD is our deepest pleasure we display Him as our highest treasure.
John Piper
The Lord is kind. He is good to all who take refuge under his wings.
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
Loving God with all our mind means that our thinking is wholly engaged to do all it can to awaken and express the heartfelt fullness of treasuring God above all things.
John Piper
The right creative act makes its own laws, and always will do.
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
God aims to exalt Himself by working for those who wait for Him.
John Piper
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.
John Piper
We need God in ways we do not know. Don't limit your experience of God to what you can think to ask. Ask for the unknown joy.
John Piper
Too many Christians are fighting graduate school sins with a grammar school knowledge of God.
John Piper
We give glory to God when we trust him to do what he has promised to do-especially when all human possibilities are exhausted. Faith glorifies God. That is why God planned for faith to be the way we are justified.
John Piper
If you don’t know God as beautiful and satisfying, you don’t know him.
John Piper
May we catch enough of a vision of Christ that we will not be satisfied unless we know him more fully.
John Piper
The answer, The answer, my friend, is not yours to invent or create. It will be decided for you. It is outside you. It is real and objective and firm. One day you will hear it. You don’t create it. You don’t define it. It comes to you, and sooner or later you conform to it—or bow to it.
John Piper
God loves to show mercy . . . His anger must be released by a stiff safety lock, but His mercy has a hair trigger.
John Piper
All that looks like reality to us is dependent on God. There is creation and Creator, nothing more. And creation gets all its meaning and purpose from God.
John Piper
Don’t be surprised. There is nothing new under the sun. Only endless repackagings
John Piper
Some of you will die in the service of Christ. That will not be a tragedy. Treasuring life above Christ is a tragedy.
John Piper
