John Piper
Image
God is always doing 10,000 things in your life, and you may be aware of three of them.
John Piper

So saving grace, converting grace, for Augustine, is God's giving us a sovereign joy in God that triumphs over all other joys and therefore sways the will. The will is free to move toward whatever it delights in most fully, but it is not within the power of our will to determine what that sovereign joy will be.

John Piper
Image
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
Image
We belittle God when we go through the outward motions of worship and take no pleasure in His person.
John Piper
Image
Neither Muslims nor anyone else truly worships the true God if they reject Jesus as he really is in the Gospels.
John Piper
Image
Zeal for the glory of God motivates world missions
John Piper
Image
Books don't change people paragraphs do, Sometimes even sentences.
John Piper
Image
We make a god out of whatever we find most joy in. So find your joy in God and be done with all idolatry.
John Piper

The mind serves to know the truth that fuels the fires of the heart.
