More quotes by John Piper
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
John Piper
I am not a missionary, but I have wanted my life to count for the unreached peoples of the world.
John Piper
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.
John Piper
The Lord is kind. He is good to all who take refuge under his wings.
John Piper
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
To see Him and know Him and be in His presence is the soul’s final feast. Beyond this there is no quest. Words fail. We call it pleasure, joy, delight. But these are weak pointers to the unspeakable experience.
John Piper
If truth does not lead to falling in love, it fails.
John Piper
Our deeds are not the basis of our salvation, they are the evidence of our salvation. They are not foundation, they are demonstration.
John Piper
Put your ear to the ground of God's word and listen to the rumble of His faithfulness coming.
John Piper
Here is a vocation that will bring you more satisfaction than if you became a millionaire ten times over: Develop the extraordinary skill for detecting the burdens of others and devote yourself daily to making them lighter.
John Piper
If you want to be a conduit for God's grace, you don't have to be lined with gold. Copper will do.
John Piper
I have tried to devote my life - with all my husband failures, father failures, pastor failures, friend failures, any other possible failures I'm sure I've done them - to the God-centeredness of God and my aspiring, yearning to join Him in that activity. God is passionate about hallowing the name of God.
John Piper
Life is wasted if we do not grasp the glory of the cross, cherish it for the treasure that it is, and cleave to it as the highest price of every pleasure and the deepest comfort in every pain. 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
God loves to show mercy . . . His anger must be released by a stiff safety lock, but His mercy has a hair trigger.
John Piper
Missions is not the ultimate goal of the church. Worship is. Missions exists because worship doesn't.
John Piper
The gospel is not a way to get people to heaven it is a way to get people to God.
John Piper
We ought to celebrate the positive glorious gifts of God, but the worth of God shines in a powerful way to the world when in the midst of suffering we still don't curse God but say The Lord gave and the Lord takes away, blessed be the name of the Lord.
John Piper
The thought of building a life around minimal morality or minimal significance—a life defined by the question, “What is permissible?”—felt almost disgusting to me. I didn’t want a minimal life. I didn’t want to live on the outskirts of reality. I wanted to understand the main thing about life and pursue it.
John Piper
Oh, how rare are the Christians who speak with a tender heart and have a theological backbone of steel.
John Piper
Where feelings for God are dead, worship is dead.
John Piper
