I measure Your love for me by the magnitude of the wrath I deserved, and the wonder of Your mercy by putting Christ in my place.
John Piper
Image
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

Even on days when every cinder in our soul feels cold, if we crawl to the Word of God and cry out for ears to hear, the cold ashes will be lifted and the tiny spark of life will be fanned. For 'the law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul.'
John Piper

If we have no zeal for the glory of God our mercy must be superficial, man-centred human improvement with no eternal significance. And if our zeal for the glory of God is not a revelling in his mercy, than our so-called zeal, in spite of all its protests, is our of touch with God and hypocritical.
John Piper
Image
Worship is a way of gladly reflecting back to God the radiance of his worth. This cannot be done by mere acts of duty. It can be done only when spontaneous affections arise in the heart.
John Piper
Image
We do not choose suffering simply because we are told to, but because the one who tells us to describes it as the path to everlasting joy.
John Piper
Image
Only the # gospel can do two seemingly contradictory things: destroy pride and increase courage.
John Piper
Image
God is not worn out running the galaxy. He’s not taxed at all guiding every dust particle all the time.
John Piper
Image
The key to praying with power is to become the kind of persons who do not use God for our ends but are utterly devoted to being used for His ends.
John Piper
Image
If you live gladly to make others glad in God, your life will be hard, your risks will be high, and your joy will be full.

Worship is a way of gladly reflecting back to God the radiance of His worth.

Faith begins with a backward look at the cross, but it lives with a forward look at the promises
John Piper
Image
God took the record of all your sins-all your sexual failures-that made you a debtor to wrath, and instead of holding them up in front of your face and using them as the warrant to send you to hell, he put them in the palm of his Son’s hand and nailed them to the cross.
