You 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 Piper

There is a war going on. All talk of a Christian's right to live luxuriously "as a child of the King" in this atmosphere sounds hollow - especially since the King himself is stripped for battle.

John Piper

The deepest longing of the human heart is to know and enjoy the glory of God. We were made for this.

John Piper

I know of no other way to triumph over sin long-term than to gain a distaste for it because of a superior satisfaction in God.

John Piper

Our main work is, by the spirit of God, with the Word of God, to portray the glories of God as more beautiful and more satisfying than anything.

John Piper

We make a god out of whatever we find most joy in. So find your joy in God and be done with all idolatry.

John Piper

I've always wondered, am I a writer who preaches or a preacher who writes? I don't know. I love them both.

John Piper

Our 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

Giving in a regular, disciplined, generous way-up to and beyond the tithe-is simply good sense in view of the promises of God.

John Piper

Seeing & savoring Jesus Christ is the most important seeing and savoring you'll ever do.

John Piper

Even on days when every cinder in our soul feels cold, if we crawl to the Word of God and cry out for ears to hear, the cold ashes will be lifted and the tiny spark of life will be fanned. For 'the law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul.'

John Piper

Every good thing in the Christian life grows in the soil of humility. Without humility, every virtue and every grace withers. Thatโ€™s why Calvin said humility is first, second, and third in the Christian faith.

John Piper

Christ died that we might live. This is the opposite of abortion. Abortion kills that someone might live differently.

John Piper

The formation of the life of a person in the womb is the work of God, and it is not merely a mechanical process but a work on the analogy of weaving or knitting: "Thou didst knit me together in my mother's womb" (psalm 139:13). The life of the unborn is the knitting of God, and what He is knitting is a human being in His own image, unlike any other creature in the universe... The destruction of conceived human life - whether embryonic, fetal, or viable - is an assault on the unique person-forming work of God.

John Piper

The mind serves to know the truth that fuels the fires of the heart.

John Piper

If God were not just, there would be no demand for his Son to suffer and die. And if God were not loving, there would be no willingness for his Son to suffer and die. But God is both just and loving. Therefore his love is willing to meet the demands of his justice.

John Piper

The greatest enemy of hunger for God is not poison but apple pie. It is not the banquet of the wicked that dulls our appetite for heaven, but endless nibbling at the table of the world. It is not the X-rated video, but the prime-time dribble of triviality we drink in every night.

John Piper

People are not prepared or able to rejoice in suffering unless they experience a massive biblical revolution of how they think and feel about the meaning of life. Human nature and American culture make it impossible to rejoice in suffering. This is a miracle in the human soul wrought by God through His Word.

John Piper

Many people are willing to be God-centered as long as they feel that God is man-centered

John Piper

The thought of building a life around minimal morality or minimal significanceโ€”a life defined by the question, โ€œWhat is permissible?โ€โ€”felt almost disgusting to me. I didnโ€™t want a minimal life. I didnโ€™t want to live on the outskirts of reality. I wanted to understand the main thing about life and pursue it.

John Piper

The rich fruit of spontaneity grows in the garden that is well tended by the discipline of schedule.

John Piper

The ultimate meaning of true womanhood is this: It is a distinctive calling of God to display the glory of his Son in ways that would not be displayed if there were no womanhood.

John Piper

The ministry and mission of the church is at the center of Christian giving.

John Piper

God has made us to be conduits of his grace. The danger is in thinking the conduit should be lined with gold. It shouldn't. Copper will do.

John Piper

Christian fasting, at its root, is the hunger of a homesickness for God

John Piper

Your mind was made to know and love God.

John Piper

The call of God creates sight in us. It's the work of God in our hearts to awaken us before his word.

John Piper

To love God does not mean to meet His needs, but rather to delight in Him and to be captivated by His glorious power and grace, and to value Him above all other things on earth. All the rest of the commandments are the kinds of things that we will do from our hearts, if our hearts are truly delighted with and resting in the glory of God's grace.

John Piper

Go, send, or disobey.

John Piper

Prayer as a relationship is probably your best indicator about the health of your love relationship with God. If your prayer life has been slack, your love relationship has grown cold.

John Piper

Our obedience is God's pleasure when it proves that God is our treasure.

John Piper

Journaling is a way to be a good steward of the Spirit's illuminations.

John Piper

If you live gladly to make others glad in God, your life will be hard, your risks will be high, and your joy will be full.

John Piper

God will not turn away from doing you good. He will keep on doing good. He doesn't do good to His children sometimes and bad to them other times. He keeps on doing good and He never will stop doing good for ten thousand ages of ages. When things are going bad that does not mean God has stopped doing good. It means He is shifting things around to get them in place for more good, if you will go on loving Him.

John Piper

The deepest need that you and I have in weakness and adversity is not quick relief, but the well-grounded confidence that what is happening to us is part of the greatest purpose of God in the universe - the glorification of the grace and power of his Son - the grace and power that bore Him to the cross and kept him there until the work of love was done.

John Piper

Not to abide in Jesusโ€™ love would mean that we stop believing that we are loved by Jesus. We look at our circumstances - perhaps persecution or disease or abandonment - and we conclude that we are not loved by Jesus anymore. Thatโ€™s the opposite of abiding in the love of Jesus. So abiding in his love means continuing to believe, moment by moment, that we are loved.

John Piper

Taken as a whole, the story of Ruth is one of those signs. It was written to give us encouragement and hope that all the perplexing turns in our lives are going somewhere good. They do not lead off a cliff. In all the setbacks of our lives as believers, God is plotting for our joy.

John Piper

Here is a vocation that will bring you more satisfaction than if you became a millionaire ten times over: Develop the extraordinary skill for detecting the burdens of others and devote yourself daily to making them lighter.

John Piper

God is not a killjoy; he just opposes what kills joy.

John Piper

God is not an employer looking for employees. He is an Eagle looking for people who will take refuge under his wings. He is looking for people who will leave father and mother and homeland or anything else that may hold them back from a life of love under the wings of Jesus.

John Piper

We need a Savior. Christmas is an indictment before it becomes a delight.

John Piper

Love is the overflow of joy in God that meets the needs of others.

John Piper

So you can see what is happening in the New Testament. Worship is being significantly deinstitutionalized, delocalized, de-externalized. The whole thrust is being taken off of ceremony and seasons and places and forms and is being shifted to what is happening in the heart - not just on Sunday but every day and all the time in all of life.

John Piper

We will not let you choose between being a lover of God and his sovereignty and being a lover of lost people.

John Piper

The inner essence of worship is cherishing Christ as gain - indeed as more gain than all that life can offer - family, career, retirement, fame, food, friends. The essence of worship is experiencing Christ as gain. Or to use words that we love to use around here: it is savoring Christ, treasuring Christ, being satisfied with Christ.

John Piper

In Colossians 2:12 and 1 Peter 3:21 baptism is an expression of the faith of the person being baptized. I [do] not see how an infant could properly receive this ordinance as an expression of his or her faith.

John Piper

The Lord is kind. He is good to all who take refuge under his wings.

John Piper

The presence of hope in the invincible sovereignty of God drives out fear.
