Every sin flows from the fail...

Every sin flows from the failure to treasure the glory of God above all things.

John Piper 465 quotes

Not grace to bar what is not ...

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 465 quotes

The very longing for contentm...

The very longing for contentment that ought to drive us to simplicity of life and labors of love contents itself instead with the broken cisterns of prosperity and comfort.

John Piper 465 quotes

How do you get from, "We do n...

How do you get from, "We do not know whether this is protectable human life," to "Therefore, we will not protect it?" Wouldn't the logic just as likely (some would say far more likely) be, "Since we do not know whether this is protectable human life, therefore we will protect it?" Why does the judicial uncertainty about the humanity of the unborn lead to unbridled license to destroy it?

John Piper 465 quotes

If the pursuit of God's glory...

If the pursuit of God's glory is not ordered above the pursuit of man's good in the affections of the heart and the priorities of the Church, man will not be well served, and God will not be duly honored. I am not pleading for a diminishing of missions but for a magnifying of God. When the flame of worship burns with the heat of God's true worth, the light of missions will shine to the darkest peoples on earth. And I long for that day to come!

God doesn’t waste anything for those who are yielded to him.

John Piper 465 quotes

Love is doing what will enthr...

Love is doing what will enthrall the beloved with the greatest and longest joy. What will enthrall the beloved this way is the glory of God. Love means doing all we can, at whatever cost to ourselves, to help people be enthralled with the glory of God. When they are, they are satisfied and God is glorified. Therefore loving people and glorifying God are one.

John Piper 465 quotes

We can say that true gratitud...

We can say that true gratitude does not give rise to the debtor's ethic because it gives rise to faith in future grace. With true gratitude there is such a delight in the worth of God's past grace, that we are driven on to experience more and more of it in the future...it is done by transforming gratitude into faith as it turns from contemplating the pleasures of past grace and starts contemplating the promises of the future.

John Piper 465 quotes

In demanding our praise God i...

In demanding our praise God is demanding the completion of our pleasure (in him).

John Piper 465 quotes

I do not appeal to you to scr...

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 465 quotes

The offspring of the woman, J...

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 465 quotes

The rich fruit of spontaneity...

The rich fruit of spontaneity grows in the garden that is well tended by the discipline of schedule.

John Piper 465 quotes

The point is not that the res...

The point is not that the resurrection is the price paid for our sins. The point point is that the resurrection proves the death of Jesus is an all-sufficient price. If Jesus did not rise from the dead, then his death was a failure, God did not vindicate his sin-bearing achievement, and we are still in our sins.

John Piper 465 quotes

Too many Christians are fight...

Too many Christians are fighting graduate school sins with a grammar school knowledge of God.

John Piper 465 quotes

What is the essence of evil? ...

What is the essence of evil? It is forsaking a living fountain for broken cisterns. God gets derision and we get death. They are one: choosing sugarcoated misery we mock the lifegiving God. It was meant to be another way: God's glory exalted in our everlasting joy.

John Piper 465 quotes

There are only three kinds of...

There are only three kinds of Christians when it comes to world missions: zealous goers, zealous senders, and disobedient.

John Piper 465 quotes

There is a great gulf between...

There is a great gulf between the Christianity that wrestles with whether to worship at the cost of imprisonment and death, and the Christianity that wrestles with whether the kids should play soccer on Sunday morning.

John Piper 465 quotes

The gospel is the good news t...

The gospel is the good news that the everlasting and ever-increasing joy of the never-boring, ever-satisfying Christ is ours freely and eternally by faith in the sin-forgiving death and hope-giving resurrection of Jesus Christ.

John Piper 465 quotes

Servanthood does not nullify ...

Servanthood does not nullify leadership; it defines it. Jesus does not cease to be the Lion of Judah when He becomes the lamblike servant of the church.

John Piper 465 quotes

A woman who fears the Lord wi...

A woman who fears the Lord will not run away from God to satisfy her longings and relieve her anxieties. She will wait for the Lord. She will hope in God. She will stay close to the heart of God and trust in his promises. The prospect of departing into the way of sin will be too fearful to pursue; and the benefits of abiding in the shadow of the Almighty too glorious to forsake.
