More quotes by John Piper
Do you feel more loved when God makes much of you or do you feel more loved when God at the cost of His Son allows you to make much of Him?
John Piper
The more of God's Word you know and love, the more of God's Spirit you will experience.
John Piper
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
Doing things in secret that you are ashamed for others to know is practical atheism. God's knowing doesn't count?
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 inner essence of worship is cherishing Christ as gain - indeed as more gain than all that life can offer - family, career, retirement, fame, food, friends. The essence of worship is experiencing Christ as gain. Or to use words that we love to use around here: it is savoring Christ, treasuring Christ, being satisfied with Christ.
John Piper
The apex of glorifying God is enjoying Him with the heart. But this is empty emotionalism where that joy is not awakened and sustained by true views of God for who He really is
John Piper
Ignatius, when he heard the clock strike, would say, Now I have another hour to answer for. (Eph. 5:16)
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
My joy grows with every soul that seeks the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. Remember, you have one life. That’s all. You were made for God. Don’t waste it.
John Piper
O, God of wonder, enlarge my capacity to be amazed at what is amazing, and end my attraction to the insignificant.
John Piper
Spiritual leadership is knowing where God wants people to be and taking the initiative to get them there by God's means in reliance on God's power.
John Piper
Faith is born and sustained by the Word of God, and out of faith grows the flower of joy.
John Piper
Many people are willing to be God-centered as long as they feel that God is man-centered
John Piper
If truth does not lead to falling in love, it fails.
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
If you must choose between loving someone and acting so that they feel loved, always choose to love them.
John Piper
Don’t be surprised. There is nothing new under the sun. Only endless repackagings
John Piper
Feeling loved by God means feeling glad not only that He crushed His Son so that I can be forgiven, but that He's crushing everything that takes away from my praising of the glory of His grace.
John Piper
We weren't meant to be somebody--we were meant to know Somebody
John Piper
