Life is wasted if we do not grasp the glory of the cross, cherish it for the treasure that it is, and cleave to it as the highest price of every pleasure and the deepest comfort in every pain. What was once foolishness to usโa crucified Godโmust become our wisdom and our power and our only boast in this world.
John PiperOne day America and all its presidents will be a footnote in history, but the kingdom of Jesus will never end.
John PiperPrayer is the open admission that without Christ we can do nothing. And prayer is the turning away from ourselves to God in the confidence that He will provide the help we need. Prayer humbles us as needy and exalts God as wealthy
John PiperO that we would so love the gospel and have so much compassion for lost people that tribulation and distress and persecution and famine and nakedness and danger and sword and gun and terrorist would turn us not into fearful complainers, but bold heralds of good news.
John PiperGod aims to look valuable in the world, and that happens when we treasure him above all else.
John Piper
