But whatever you do, find the God-centered, Christ-exalting, Bible-saturated passion of your life, and find your way to say it and live for it and die for it. And you will make a difference that lasts. You will not waste your life.
John PiperDon't marry so you can stop pursuing women. Marry so you can perfect the pursuit of ONE woman for a lifetime.
John PiperLove is the overflow of joy in God! It is not duty for duty's sake, or right for right's sake. It is not a resolute abandoning of one's own good with a view solely to the good of the other person. It is first a deeply satisfying experience of the fullness of God's grace, and then a doubly satisfying experience of sharing that grace with another person.
John PiperOut of the freedom from worry that God's generosity provides comes an impulse toward simplicity rather than accumulation.
