People are not prepared or able to rejoice in suffering unless they experience a massive biblical revolution of how they think and feel about the meaning of life. Human nature and American culture make it impossible to rejoice in suffering. This is a miracle in the human soul wrought by God through His Word.

Ignatius, when he heard the clock strike, would say, Now I have another hour to answer for. (Eph. 5:16)

Evangelicals are distraught over the state of America because they have not been taught that we're aliens here.
John Piper
Image
The offspring of the woman, Jesus Christ, came into the world to save women who have dethroned God, taken His place, defined personhood as tissue, and willed the death of their own child. It can't be reversed, but it can be forgiven. That is why Christ died.
John Piper

Why Christians do what they do is just as important as what they do. Bad motives ruin good acts.
John Piper
Image
The point is not that the resurrection is the price paid for our sins. The point point is that the resurrection proves the death of Jesus is an all-sufficient price. If Jesus did not rise from the dead, then his death was a failure, God did not vindicate his sin-bearing achievement, and we are still in our sins.

Too many Christians are fighting graduate school sins with a grammar school knowledge of God.
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.

You can't praise what you don't prize.

What was once foolishness to us-a crucified God-must become our wisdom and our power and our only boast in this world.

Image
For the mind of faith, a promised act of God is as good as done.
John Piper
Image
The key that unlocks the treasure chest of God's peace is faith in the promises of God.
John Piper
Image
The inner essence of worship is cherishing Christ as gain - indeed as more gain than all that life can offer - family, career, retirement, fame, food, friends. The essence of worship is experiencing Christ as gain. Or to use words that we love to use around here: it is savoring Christ, treasuring Christ, being satisfied with Christ.

Where the Bible is esteemed as the inspired and inerrant Word of God, preaching can flourish. But where the Bible is treated merely as a record of valuable religious insight, preaching dies.

If you want to be a conduit for God's grace, you don't have to be lined with gold. Copper will do.

Sin is what you do when you are not satisfied in God.
John Piper

God created us to live with a single passion: to joyfully display his supreme excellence in all spheres of life. The wasted life is the life without this passion. God calls us to pray and think and dream and plan and work, not to be made much of, but to make much of him in every part of our lives.
