It is about the greatness of ...

It is about the greatness of God, not the significance of man. God made man small and the universe big to say something about himself.

John Piper 465 quotes

Prayer as a relationship is p...

Prayer as a relationship is probably your best indicator about the health of your love relationship with God. If your prayer life has been slack, your love relationship has grown cold.

John Piper 465 quotes

Nothing makes God more suprem...

Nothing makes God more supreme and more central in worship than when a people are utterly persuaded that nothing - not money or prestige or leisure or family or job or health or sports or toys or friends - nothing is going to bring satisfaction to their sinful, guilty, aching hearts besides God.

John Piper 465 quotes

To love God does not mean to ...

To love God does not mean to meet His needs, but rather to delight in Him and to be captivated by His glorious power and grace, and to value Him above all other things on earth. All the rest of the commandments are the kinds of things that we will do from our hearts, if our hearts are truly delighted with and resting in the glory of God's grace.

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

You never outgrow your need t...

You never outgrow your need to preach to yourself the gospel.

John Piper 465 quotes

If you alter or obscure the B...

If you alter or obscure the Biblical portrait of God in order to attract converts, you don't get converts to God, you get converts to an illusion. This is not evangelism, but deception.

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.

John Piper 465 quotes

Christmas: the Son of God exp...

Christmas: the Son of God expressing the love of God to save us from the wrath of God so we could enjoy the presence of God.

John Piper 465 quotes

The critical question for our...

The critical question for our generation—and for every generation— is this: If you could have heaven, with no sickness, and with all the friends you ever had on earth, and all the food you ever liked, and all the leisure activities you ever enjoyed, and all the natural beauties you ever saw, all the physical pleasures you ever tasted, and no human conflict or any natural disasters, could you be satisfied with heaven, if Christ were not there?

John Piper 465 quotes

The deepest longing of the hu...

The deepest longing of the human heart is to know and enjoy the glory of God. We were made for this.

John Piper 465 quotes

Faith begins with a backward ...

Faith begins with a backward look at the cross, but it lives with a forward look at the promises

John Piper 465 quotes

Sin is what you do when your ...

Sin is what you do when your heart is not satisfied with God.

One of the great uses of Twitter and Facebook will be to prove at the Last Day that prayerlessness was not from lack of time.

John Piper 465 quotes

My feelings are not God. God ...

My feelings are not God. God is God. My feelings do not define truth. God’s word defines truth. My feelings are echoes and responses to what my mind perceives. And sometimes - many times - my feelings are out of sync with the truth. When that happens - and it happens every day in some measure - I try not to bend the truth to justify my imperfect feelings, but rather, I plead with God: Purify my perceptions of your truth and transform my feelings so that they are in sync with the truth.

John Piper 465 quotes

May we catch enough of a visi...

May we catch enough of a vision of Christ that we will not be satisfied unless we know him more fully.

John Piper 465 quotes

Satan's aim is to destroy our...

Satan's aim is to destroy our joy and trust and delight in God, and to make God look worthless in the world's eyes. Everytime someone forsakes God for the world, gets angry at God when part of the world is taken away from them, they highlight the world as valuable... and everytime someone stays with God, when the world is taken away, and praises God, they highlight the value and glory of God.
