More quotes by John Piper
God is infinitely valuable. I can't think of anything that would have a greater impact on your life than for you to believe that.
John Piper
The Christian life becomes impossible. That is, it becomes supernatural.
John Piper
Do not be more devoted to your own brain than you are to the Bible.
John Piper
Out of the freedom from worry that God's generosity provides comes an impulse toward simplicity rather than accumulation.
John Piper
The ultimate purpose of life is to show that Jesus is more precious than life.
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
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.
John Piper
Bad theology will eventually hurt people and dishonor God in proportion to its badness.
John Piper
Love is the overflow of joy in God that meets the needs of others.
John Piper
In demanding our praise God is demanding the completion of our pleasure (in him).
John Piper
The immensity of His worth is reflected in the intensity of your worship.
John Piper
Books don't change people paragraphs do, Sometimes even sentences.
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 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.
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
Many people are willing to be God-centered as long as they feel that God is man-centered
John Piper
In EVERY situation and EVERY circumstance of your life, God is always doing a thousand different things that you cannot see and you do not know.
John Piper
Intensity is all that matters in painting.
John Piper
The abortion industry kills as many Black people every four days as the Klan killed in 150 years.
John Piper
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.
John Piper
