Zeal for the glory of God motivates world missions
John Piper
Image
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.

If truth does not lead to falling in love, it fails.

God has ordained that our preaching become deeper and more winsome as we are broken, humbled, and made low and desperately dependent on grace by the trials of our lives.
John Piper
Image
The Lord is kind. He is good to all who take refuge under his wings.
John Piper
Image
The cost of food in the kingdom is hunger for the Bread of Life.
John Piper
Image
Desire that your life count for something great! Long for your life to have eternal significance. Want this! Don’t coast through life without a passion.
John Piper
Image
Now unto him who is able to strengthen you … be glory.
John Piper
Image
All of history is moving toward one great goal, the white-hot worship of God and His Son among all the peoples of the earth. Missions is not that goal. It is the means. And for that reason it is the second greatest human activity in the world.
John Piper
Image
Giving in a regular, disciplined, generous way-up to and beyond the tithe-is simply good sense in view of the promises of God.
