John PiperDo all things without grumbling. Why? You have a sovereign God who is on your side, who works everything together for your good.
John PiperNot going to God because your faith is weak is like not going to the doctor because you feel sick.
John PiperWhen you are deeply peaceful and confident that, because of Christ, God will bring you safely to his eternal kingdom and be the all-satisfying Treasure of your life forever, then you are free to see the truth, and love the truth, and speak the truth no matter what, and joyfully spread a passion for the truth whose name is Jesus.
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 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
