I donโt know how people pray who donโt believe in the sovereignty of God to do the impossible. Because all the things I want to happen are impossible. If theyโre possible Iโll do them.
John PiperWhy Christians do what they do is just as important as what they do. Bad motives ruin good acts.
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 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
