What was once foolishness to us-a crucified God-must become our wisdom and our power and our only boast in this world.
John Piper'Worship' is the term we use to cover all the acts of the heart and mind and body that intentionally express the infinite worth of God. This is what we were created for, as God says in Isaiah 43:7, Everyone who is called by my name, and whom I have created for my glory. That means that we were all created for the purpose of expressing the infinite worth of God's glory. We were created to worship.
John PiperIf you want to be a conduit for God's grace, you don't have to be lined with gold. Copper will do.
John PiperIn EVERY situation and EVERY circumstance of your life, God is always doing a thousand different things that you cannot see and you do not know.
