If my life was to have a single, all-satisfying, unifying passion, it would have to be God's passion.
John PiperThe greatest enemy of hunger for God is not poison but apple pie. It is not the banquet of the wicked that dulls our appetite for heaven, but endless nibbling at the table of the world. It is not the X-rated video, but the prime-time dribble of triviality we drink in every night.
John PiperWe are not as Christ-centered and cross-cherishing as we should be, because we do not ponder the truth that everything good, and everything bad that God turns for the good, was purchased by the sufferings of Christ.
John PiperStrong affections for God, rooted in and shaped by the truth of Scripture - this is the bone and marrow of Biblical worship.
