The infinite reservoir of future grace is flowing back through the present into the ever-growing pool of past grace. The inexhaustible reservoir is invisible except through the promises. But the ever-enlarging pool of past grace is visible; and God means for the certainty and beauty and depth to strengthen our faith in future grace.
John PiperThere will be no passion to draw others into our worship where there is no passion for worship.
John PiperFrom eternity to eternity, the beauty of God is pervasive and practical. Ask him to open the eyes of your heart (Ephesians 1:18). Give your life to this quest - seeing and savoring more and more of the happifying beauty of God.
John PiperIf my life was to have a single, all-satisfying, unifying passion, it would have to be God's passion.
John PiperO, God of wonder, enlarge my capacity to be amazed at what is amazing, and end my attraction to the insignificant.
