God loves to show mercy . . . His anger must be released by a stiff safety lock, but His mercy has a hair trigger.

More quotes by John Piper
Now unto him who is able to strengthen you … be glory.
John Piper
God is not worn out running the galaxy. He’s not taxed at all guiding every dust particle all the time.
John Piper
We are far too easily pleased.
John Piper
Desire that your life count for something great! Long for your life to have eternal significance. Want this! Don’t coast through life without a passion.
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
I will not waste my life! I will finish my course and finish it well. I will display the Gospel of the grace of God in all I do. I will run my race to the end.” - Paul
John Piper
God aims to exalt Himself by working for those who wait for Him.
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
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
Where feelings for God are dead, worship is dead.
John Piper
Sin is what you do when your heart is not satisfied with God. No one sins out of duty. We sin because it holds out some promise of happiness. That promise enslaves us until we believe that God is more to be desired than life itself (Psalm 63:3). Which means that the power of sin's promise is broken by the power of God's.
John Piper
Life is too short, too precious, too painful to waste on worldly bubbles that burst
John Piper
We will wait. We will wait till all is made righteous (glorious) according to the word of God.
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
Grace is the pleasure of God to magnify the worth of God by giving sinners the right and power to delight in God without obscuring the glory of God.
John Piper
The happiest and holiest children in the world are the children whose fathers succeed in winning both their tender affection and their reverential and loving fear. And they are the children who will come to understand most easily the mystery of the fatherhood of God.
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
God aims to look valuable in the world, and that happens when we treasure him above all else.
John Piper
Prosperity cannot be a proof of God's favor, since it is what the devil promises to those who worship him. (Matt. 4:9)
John Piper
The key that unlocks the treasure chest of God's peace is faith in the promises of God.
John Piper
