Sometimes people stumble over this vastness in relation to the apparent insignificance of man. It does seem to make us infinitesimally small. But the meaning of this magnitude is not mainly about us. It’s about God… The reason for ‘wasting’ so much space on a universe to house a speck of humanity is to make a point about our maker, not us.

Spiritual leadership is knowing where God wants people to be and taking the initiative to get them there by God's means in reliance on God's power.

The really wonderful moments of joy in this world are not the moments of self-satisfaction, but self-forgetfulness. Standing on the edge of the Grand Canyon and contemplating your own greatness is pathological. At such moments we are made for a magnificent joy that comes from outside ourselves.
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
Our obedience is God's pleasure when it proves that God is our treasure.
John Piper

Lives of faith are the great mirror of the dependability of God.

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

We make a god out of whatever we find most joy in. So find your joy in God and be done with all idolatry.
John Piper

The deepest longing of the human heart is to know and enjoy the glory of God. We were made for this.

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