The only answer in these modern times, as in all other times, is the blood of Christ. When our conscience rises up and condemns us, where will we turn? We turn to Christ. We turn to the suffering and death of Christโthe blood of Christ. This is the only cleansing agent in the universe that can give the conscience relief in life and peace in death.
John PiperThe very longing for contentment that ought to drive us to simplicity of life and labors of love contents itself instead with the broken cisterns of prosperity and comfort.
John PiperIf we love God's fame and are committed to magnifying His name above all things, we cannot be indifferent to world missions.
John PiperThe Bible does not oppose or forbid interracial marriages but sees them as a positive good for the glory of Christ.
John PiperIf you alter or obscure the Biblical portrait of God in order to attract converts, you don't get converts to God, you get converts to an illusion. This is not evangelism, but deception.
John PiperOur obedience is God's pleasure when it proves that God is our treasure. This is good news, because it means very simply that the command to obey is the command to be happy in God. The commandments of God are only as hard to obey as the promises of God are hard to believe. The Word of God is only as hard to obey as the beauty of God is hard to cherish.
John Piper
