Not going to God because your faith is weak is like not going to the doctor because you feel sick.
John PiperPeople don't enjoy salt. They enjoy what is salted. We are the salt of the earth. We do not exist for ourselves.
John PiperThe key to Christian living is a thirst and hunger for God. And one of the main reasons people do not understand or experience the sovereignty of grace and the way it works through the awakening of sovereign joy is that their hunger and thirst for God is so small.
John PiperIt is unbiblical and arrogant to try to worship God for any other reason than the pleasure to be had in Him.
John PiperGod will not turn away from doing you good. He will keep on doing good. He doesn't do good to His children sometimes and bad to them other times. He keeps on doing good and He never will stop doing good for ten thousand ages of ages. When things are going bad that does not mean God has stopped doing good. It means He is shifting things around to get them in place for more good, if you will go on loving Him.
John Piper
