You can't praise what you don't prize.

One way to appreciate C.S. Lewis is to see how his Christian humility shaped his life and work.
John Piper

The really wonderful moments of joy in this world are not the moments of self-satisfaction, but self-forgetfulness. Standing on the edge of the Grand Canyon and contemplating your own greatness is pathological. At such moments we are made for a magnificent joy that comes from outside ourselves.
John Piper
Image
Missions is the overflow of our delight in God because missions is the overflow of God's delight in being God.
John Piper
Image
The line of lovelessness is not drawn between speaking and doing, but between speaking and doing in the truth, and speaking and doing in emptiness. Truth turns word-love into deed-love.

Marriage is not mainly about being or staying in love. It’s mainly about telling the truth with our lives. It’s about portraying something true about Jesus Christ and the way He relates to his people. It is about showing in real life the glory of the gospel.

God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him.

Too many Christians are fighting graduate school sins with a grammar school knowledge of God.
John Piper
Image
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
Image
The goal of missions is the gladness of the peoples in the greatness of God.
John Piper
Image
God aims to look valuable in the world, and that happens when we treasure him above all else.
John Piper
Image
Out of the freedom from worry that God's generosity provides comes an impulse toward simplicity rather than accumulation.
John Piper
Image
Not grace to bar what is not bliss, Nor flight from all distress, but this: The grace that orders our trouble and pain, And then, in the darkness, is there to sustain.
John Piper

Sin is what you do when you are not satisfied in God.
