The cross is not a mere event in history; it's a way of life! Take up your cross DAILY, Jesus said!
John PiperThe main reason God has given us minds is that we might seek out and find all the reasons that exist for treasuring him in all things and above all things.
John PiperNothing makes God more supreme and more central in worship than when a people are utterly persuaded that nothing - not money or prestige or leisure or family or job or health or sports or toys or friends - nothing is going to bring satisfaction to their sinful, guilty, aching hearts besides God.
John PiperWhy Christians do what they do is just as important as what they do. Bad motives ruin good acts.
