The key that unlocks the treasure chest of God's peace is faith in the promises of God.
John Piper
Image
Marriage. The roots are deep. The covenant is solid. The love is sweet. Life is hard. And God is good.
John Piper
Image
The infinite reservoir of future grace is flowing back through the present into the ever-growing pool of past grace. The inexhaustible reservoir is invisible except through the promises. But the ever-enlarging pool of past grace is visible and God means for the certainty and beauty and depth to strengthen our faith in future grace.
John Piper
Image
If you must choose between loving someone and acting so that they feel loved, always choose to love them.
John Piper
Image
My Paradise: With Christ. Not sinning. No pain. New earth. Precious in that order.
John Piper
Image
Where the Bible is esteemed as the inspired and inerrant Word of God, preaching can flourish. But where the Bible is treated merely as a record of valuable religious insight, preaching dies.
John Piper
Image
I do not appeal to you to screw up your courage and sacrifice for Christ. I appeal to you to renounce all you have to obtain life that satisfies your deepest longings.
John Piper
Image
You never outgrow your need to preach to yourself the gospel.
John Piper
Image
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
Image

John Piper
Image
Reading is more important to me than eating.
John Piper
Image
It isn't sex by itself that makes abortion. It is sex plus covetousness: desiring things that God does not will for us to have because we are not willing to find our satisfaction in him. Illicit sex and unencumbered freedom without children: for these we covet, and abortion is the result.
John Piper
Image
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
Image
I do not aim to be immediately practical but eternally helpful.
John Piper
Image
Ignatius, when he heard the clock strike, would say, Now I have another hour to answer for. (Eph. 5:16)
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
The thought of building a life around minimal morality or minimal significance—a life defined by the question, “What is permissible?”—felt almost disgusting to me. I didn’t want a minimal life. I didn’t want to live on the outskirts of reality. I wanted to understand the main thing about life and pursue it.
John Piper
Image
We need God in ways we do not know. Don't limit your experience of God to what you can think to ask. Ask for the unknown joy.
John Piper
Image
The Gospel is not how people get to heaven. The Gospel is how people get to God.
John Piper

Where feelings for God are dead, worship is dead.
