Worship is ultimate, not miss...

Worship is ultimate, not missions. Because God is ultimate, not man.

John Piper 465 quotes

Even on days when every cinde...

Even on days when every cinder in our soul feels cold, if we crawl to the Word of God and cry out for ears to hear, the cold ashes will be lifted and the tiny spark of life will be fanned. For 'the law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul.'

John Piper 465 quotes

Not to abide in Jesus’ love w...

Not to abide in Jesus’ love would mean that we stop believing that we are loved by Jesus. We look at our circumstances - perhaps persecution or disease or abandonment - and we conclude that we are not loved by Jesus anymore. That’s the opposite of abiding in the love of Jesus. So abiding in his love means continuing to believe, moment by moment, that we are loved.

John Piper 465 quotes

The missionary question is no...

The missionary question is not, 'Where are there unbelievers?' and then send a missionary there. There are unbelievers everywhere! The missionary question is, 'Where are there people's who don't have any Christians in them or don't have a church strong enough to do the neighbor evangelism that we can do if we just want to do it?' That's the missionary question.

The great danger of riches is that our affections will be carried away from God to His gifts.

When it comes to killing my sin, I don't wait for the miracle, I act the miracle.

John Piper 465 quotes

Sin is what you do when your ...

Sin is what you do when your heart is not satisfied with God. No one sins out of duty. We sin because it holds out some promise of happiness.

John Piper 465 quotes

We make a god out of whatever we find most joy in. So find your joy in God and be done with all idolatry.

Bad theology will eventually hurt people and dishonor God in proportion to its badness.

John Piper 465 quotes

A saving knowledge of Christ ...

A saving knowledge of Christ crucified and risen is not the mere result of right reasoning about historical facts. It is the result of spiritual illumination to see those facts for what they really are: a revelation of the truth and glory of God in the face of Christ-who is the same yesterday today and forever.

John Piper 465 quotes

Some of you will die in the service of Christ. That will not be a tragedy. Treasuring life above Christ is a tragedy.

John Piper 465 quotes

One accurate way to describe ...

One accurate way to describe abortion is subtle infanticide. That is: child-killing done in a way that the people don't recognize it as child-killing. That reality is why the word abortion exists. Some words are created to cloak reality the same way procedures are created to cloak reality. "Abortion" is cloaked child-killing

John Piper 465 quotes

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 465 quotes

God aims to look valuable in ...

God aims to look valuable in the world, and that happens when we treasure him above all else.

John Piper 465 quotes

Betrayed by Judas, denied by ...

Betrayed by Judas, denied by Peter, abandoned by the eleven, forsaken by God. Darkness, you get one hour. Then you die.

John Piper 465 quotes

In Colossians 2:12 and 1 Peter 3:21 baptism is an expression of the faith of the person being baptized. I [do] not see how an infant could properly receive this ordinance as an expression of his or her faith.

John Piper 465 quotes

It isn't sex by itself that m...

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 465 quotes

The ultimate meaning of true ...

The ultimate meaning of true womanhood is this: It is a distinctive calling of God to display the glory of his Son in ways that would not be displayed if there were no womanhood.

John Piper 465 quotes

The call of God creates sight...

The call of God creates sight in us. It's the work of God in our hearts to awaken us before his word.

One day America and all its presidents will be a footnote in history, but the kingdom of Jesus will never end.
