Strong affections for God, rooted in and shaped by the truth of Scripture - this is the bone and marrow of Biblical worship.

Our deeds are not the basis of our salvation, they are the evidence of our salvation. They are not foundation, they are demonstration.
John Piper

People don't enjoy salt. They enjoy what is salted. We are the salt of the earth. We do not exist for ourselves.
John Piper
Image
We need God in ways we do not know. Don't limit your experience of God to what you can think to ask. Ask for the unknown joy.
John Piper
Image
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.

God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him.
John Piper
Image
I do not elevate the time or mode of baptism to a primary doctrine.
John Piper
Image
Every sin flows from the failure to treasure the glory of God above all things.
John Piper

Oh, how rare are the Christians who speak with a tender heart and have a theological backbone of steel.
