Grace is power, not just pardon.
John Piper

Put your ear to the ground of God's word and listen to the rumble of His faithfulness coming.
John Piper
Image
You can't make yourself saved. This is very threatening to people, even Christians, because of what it seems to say about freedom.
John Piper
Image
Not grace to bar what is not bliss, Nor flight from all distress, but this: The grace that orders our trouble and pain, And then, in the darkness, is there to sustain.
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.
John Piper

John Piper
Image
If grace is to be free - which is the very meaning of grace - we cannot view it as something to be repaid.
John Piper
Image
We weren't meant to be somebody--we were meant to know Somebody
John Piper
Image
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
Image
The infinite reservoir of future grace is flowing back through the present into the ever-growing pool of past grace. The inexhaustible reservoir is invisible except through the promises. But the ever-enlarging pool of past grace is visible and God means for the certainty and beauty and depth to strengthen our faith in future grace.
John Piper
Image
Do you feel more loved when God makes much of you or do you feel more loved when God at the cost of His Son allows you to make much of Him?

Image
Redemption is not perfection. The redeemed must realize their imperfections.
John Piper
Image
Worship is an inward feeling and outward action that reflects the worth of God.
