The Lord is kind. He is good to all who take refuge under his wings.
John Piper

It has to do with seeing God. “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God” (Matthew 5:8).
John Piper
Image
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
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
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.

I do not aim to be immediately practical but eternally helpful.

Whatever opposes prayer opposes the whole work of ministry.

The root cause of abortion is the failure to be satisfied in God as our supreme love. And, for all the great legal work that needs to be done to protect human life, the greatest work that needs to be done is to spread a passion - a satisfaction for the supremacy of God in all things. That's our calling.

The Gospel is not how people get to heaven. The Gospel is how people get to God.
John Piper

Missions is not the ultimate goal of the church. Worship is. Missions exists because worship doesn't.
John Piper

One of the great uses of Twitter and Facebook will be to prove at the Last Day that prayerlessness was not from lack of time.
John Piper
Image
Blind people don't decide to see. Jesus says, 'See!' and they see.
John Piper
Image
Every sin flows from the failure to treasure the glory of God above all things.
John Piper
Image
God is infinitely valuable. I can't think of anything that would have a greater impact on your life than for you to believe that.
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
Too many Christians are fighting graduate school sins with a grammar school knowledge of God.

America is the first culture in jeopardy of amusing itself to death.
John Piper
Image
Worship is ultimate, not missions. Because God is ultimate, not man.
John Piper
Image
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

The greatest enemy of hunger for God is not poison but apple pie. It is not the banquet of the wicked that dulls our appetite for heaven, but endless nibbling at the table of the world. It is not the X-rated video, but the prime-time dribble of triviality we drink in every night.
