More quotes by John Piper
Redemption is not perfection. The redeemed must realize their imperfections.
John Piper
God is not an employer looking for employees. He is an Eagle looking for people who will take refuge under his wings.
John Piper
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 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.
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
God seldom calls us for an easier life, but always calls us to know more of him and drink more deeply of His sustaining grace.
John Piper
Do not be more devoted to your own brain than you are to the Bible.
John Piper
The more of God's Word you know and love, the more of God's Spirit you will experience.
John Piper
The cross is not a mere event in history it's a way of life! Take up your cross DAILY, Jesus said!
John Piper
Giving in a regular, disciplined, generous way-up to and beyond the tithe-is simply good sense in view of the promises of God.
John Piper
The Meaning of Mature Femininity: At the heart of mature felinity is a freeing disposition to affirm, receive, and nurture strength and leadership from worthy men in ways appropriate to a woman's differing relationships.
John Piper
Adoption is the visible Gospel.
John Piper
We need a Savior. Christmas is an indictment before it becomes a delight.
John Piper
Mission exists because worship doesn't.
John Piper
The purpose of the Lord's Supper is to receive from Christ the nourishment and strength and hope and joy that come from feasting our souls on all that He purchased for us on the cross, especially His own fellowship.
John Piper
If God's love for his children is to be measured by our health, wealth, and comfort in this life, God hated the apostle Paul.
John Piper
Life is wasted if we do not grasp the glory of the cross, cherish it for the treasure that it is, and cleave to it as the highest price of every pleasure and the deepest comfort in every pain. What was once foolishness to us—a crucified God—must become our wisdom and our power and our only boast in this world.
John Piper
No one will be able to rise to the magnificence of the missionary cause who does not feel the magnificence of Christ.
John Piper
If a tornado twists at 175 miles an hour and stays on the ground like a massive lawnmower for 50 miles, God gave the command.
John Piper
It is about the greatness of God, not the significance of man. God made man small and the universe big to say something about himself.
John Piper
