Do you feel more loved when God makes much of you or do you feel more loved when God at the cost of His Son allows you to make much of Him?
John PiperI know of no other way to triumph over sin long-term than to gain a distaste for it because of a superior satisfaction in God.
John PiperWhen I pray for revival I pray first for the most radical thing: The utter devotion and allegiance of your hearts to Christ. That you would love Him so deeply and long for Him so passionately that His coming would be your great hope, and death would be gain, and life would be for Christ and His kingdom.
John PiperWithout the renewed mind, we will distort the Scriptures to avoid their radical commands for self-denial, and love, and purity, and supreme satisfaction in Christ alone.
