More quotes by John Piper
Too many Christians are fighting graduate school sins with a grammar school knowledge of God.
John Piper
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.
John Piper
Our lives become trivial. And our capacity for magnificent causes and great worship dies.
John Piper
The highest act of love is the giving of the best gift, and, if necessary, at the greatest cost, to the least deserving. That's what God did. At the loss of His Son's life to the totally undeserving, God gave the best gift - the display of the glory of Christ who is the image 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
If truth does not lead to falling in love, it fails.
John Piper
The best news of the Christian gospel is that the supremely glorious Creator of the universe has acted in Jesus Christ's death and resurrection to remove every obstacle between us and himself so that we may find everlasting joy in seeing and savoring his infinite beauty.
John Piper
We ought to celebrate the positive glorious gifts of God, but the worth of God shines in a powerful way to the world when in the midst of suffering we still don't curse God but say The Lord gave and the Lord takes away, blessed be the name of the Lord.
John Piper
From eternity to eternity, the beauty of God is pervasive and practical. Ask him to open the eyes of your heart (Ephesians 1:18). Give your life to this quest - seeing and savoring more and more of the happifying beauty of God.
John Piper
We need a Savior. Christmas is an indictment before it becomes a delight.
John Piper
The greatest enemy of hunger for God is not poison but apple pie. It is not the banquet of the wicked that dulls our appetite for heaven, but endless nibbling at the table of the world. It is not the X-rated video, but the prime-time dribble of triviality we drink in every night.
John Piper
One way to appreciate C.S. Lewis is to see how his Christian humility shaped his life and work.
John Piper
One of the most important discoveries I have ever made is this truth: God is most glorified in me when I am most satisfied in him. This is the motor that drives my ministry as a pastor. It affects everything I do.
John Piper
Neither Muslims nor anyone else truly worships the true God if they reject Jesus as he really is in the Gospels.
John Piper
We are not as Christ-centered and cross-cherishing as we should be, because we do not ponder the truth that everything good, and everything bad that God turns for the good, was purchased by the sufferings of Christ.
John Piper
Worship is ultimate, not missions. Because God is ultimate, not man.
John Piper
Now unto him who is able to strengthen you … be glory.
John Piper
Journaling is a way to be a good steward of the Spirit's illuminations.
John Piper
Does Christ get a good reputation because of the way we live? Is the excellence of Christ displayed in our lives? That should matter to us, not whether we ourselves are praised.
John Piper
Ignatius, when he heard the clock strike, would say, Now I have another hour to answer for. (Eph. 5:16)
