More quotes by John Piper
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
There is a war going on. All talk of a Christian's right to live luxuriously as a child of the King in this atmosphere sounds hollow - especially since the King himself is stripped for battle.
John Piper
One way to appreciate C.S. Lewis is to see how his Christian humility shaped his life and work.
John Piper
God did not just overcome evil at the cross. He made evil serve the overcoming of evil. He made evil commit suicide in doing its worst evil.
John Piper
It is unbiblical and arrogant to try to worship God for any other reason than the pleasure to be had in Him.
John Piper
Some of you will die in the service of Christ. That will not be a tragedy. Treasuring life above Christ is a tragedy.
John Piper
The goal of missions is the gladness of the peoples in the greatness of God.
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
I am not a missionary, but I have wanted my life to count for the unreached peoples of the world.
John Piper
When all your favorite preachers are gone, and all their books forgotten, you will have your Bible. Master it. MASTER IT!
John Piper
When the heart no longer feels the truth of hell, the gospel passes from good news to simply news
John Piper
True worship comes from people who are deeply emotional and who love deep and sound doctrine. Strong affections for God rooted in thrush are the bone and marrow of biblical worship.
John Piper
We do not choose suffering simply because we are told to, but because the one who tells us to describes it as the path to everlasting joy.
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
You never outgrow your need to preach to yourself the gospel.
John Piper
Marriage is not mainly about being or staying in love. It’s mainly about telling the truth with our lives. It’s about portraying something true about Jesus Christ and the way He relates to his people. It is about showing in real life the glory of the gospel.
John Piper
The ultimate purpose of life is to show that Jesus is more precious than life.
John Piper
Isn't it ironic that today people say, 'If you know the love of God, you don't have to worry when you go on in sin.' But the apostle John said, 'If you know the love of God, you won't be able to go on in sin.'
John Piper
Loving God with all our mind means that our thinking is wholly engaged to do all it can to awaken and express the heartfelt fullness of treasuring God above all things.
John Piper
God tests His people through hardship.
