Oh, how rare are the Christians who speak with a tender heart and have a theological backbone of steel.
John Piper
CHRISTIAN LIVING MOVES from what God has freely done for us in Christ to what we should freely do for others.
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
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
If truth does not lead to falling in love, it fails.
John Piper
Every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God.
John Piper
The cost of food in the kingdom is hunger for the Bread of Life.
John Piper
The offspring of the woman, Jesus Christ, came into the world to save women who have dethroned God, taken His place, defined personhood as tissue, and willed the death of their own child. It can't be reversed, but it can be forgiven. That is why Christ died.
John Piper
If we love God's fame and are committed to magnifying His name above all things, we cannot be indifferent to world missions.
John Piper
We weren't meant to be somebody--we were meant to know Somebody
John Piper

John Piper
Great waves, and blaze with fire like them.In beauty, but do not condemn,The seamen who embark and fail,But only those who will not sail.
John Piper
Where passion for God is weak, zeal for missions will be weak.
John Piper
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
Life is precarious, and life is precious. Don't presume you will have it tomorrow, and don't waste it today.
John Piper
God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him.
John Piper
We are far too easily pleased.
John Piper
For the mind of faith, a promised act of God is as good as done.
John Piper
I do not elevate the time or mode of baptism to a primary doctrine.
John Piper
Pastors and missionaries (need) to know God and to find in him a Treasure more satisfying than any other person or thing or relationship or experience or accomplishment in the world.
John Piper
