The gospel is the good news that the everlasting and ever-increasing joy of the never-boring, ever-satisfying Christ is ours freely and eternally by faith in the sin-forgiving death and hope-giving resurrection of Jesus Christ.
John PiperYou may be going through things right now that are painfully preparing you for some precious service to Jesus and to his people. When a person strikes rock bottom with a sense of nothingness or helplessness, he may find that he has struck the Rock of Ages
John PiperThe wisdom of God devised a way for the love of God to deliver sinners from the wrath of God while not compromising the righteousness of God.
John PiperThe answer, The answer, my friend, is not yours to invent or create. It will be decided for you. It is outside you. It is real and objective and firm. One day you will hear it. You donโt create it. You donโt define it. It comes to you, and sooner or later you conform to itโor bow to it.
John Piper
