Text Quotes
God created us for this: to live our lives in a way that makes him look more like the greatness and the beauty and the infinite worth that he really is. This is what it means to be created in the image of God  (John Piper Quotes) The really wonderful moments of joy in this world are not the moments of self-satisfaction, but self-forgetfulness. Standing on the edge of the Grand Canyon and contemplating your own greatness is pathological. At such moments we are made for a magnificent joy that comes from outside ourselves  (John Piper Quotes) It is about the greatness of God, not the significance of man. God made man small and the universe big to say something about himself  (John Piper Quotes) We will wait. We will wait till all is made righteous (glorious) according to the word of God  (John Piper Quotes) Grace is not simply leniency when we have sinned. Grace is the enabling gift of God not to sin. Grace is power, not just pardon  (John Piper Quotes) But whatever you do, find the God-centered, Christ-exalting, Bible-saturated passion of your life, and find your way to say it and live for it and die for it. And you will make a difference that lasts. You will not waste your life  (John Piper Quotes) Why don’t people ask us about our hope? The answer is probably that we look as if we hope in the same things they do. Our lives don’t look like they are on the Calvary road, stripped down for sacrificial love, serving others with the sweet assurance that we don’t need to be rewarded in this life  (John Piper Quotes) Prayer is the open admission that without Christ we can do nothing. And prayer is the turning away from ourselves to God in the confidence that He will provide the help we need. Prayer humbles us as needy and exalts God as wealthy  (John Piper Quotes) God aims to look valuable in the world, and that happens when we treasure him above all else  (John Piper Quotes) Marriage is not absolutely for making children. But it is absolutely for making children followers of Jesus  (John Piper Quotes) God’s global aim in creation and redemption is not only the glory of his name, but also the gladness of the peoples.  (John Piper Quotes) If you must choose between loving someone and acting so that they feel loved, always choose to love them.  (John Piper Quotes) O, God of wonder, enlarge my capacity to be amazed at what is amazing, and end my attraction to the insignificant.  (John Piper Quotes) If God’s love for his children is to be measured by our health, wealth, and comfort in this life, God hated the apostle Paul.  (John Piper Quotes) One way to appreciate C.S. Lewis is to see how his Christian humility shaped his life and work.  (John Piper Quotes) As a child and a teenager, my attitudes and actions assumed the superiority of my race in almost every way without knowing or wanting to know anybody who was black, except Lucy. Lucy came to our house on Saturdays to help my mother clean. I liked Lucy, but the whole structure of the relationship was demeaning.  (John Piper Quotes) Worship is a way of gladly reflecting back to God the radiance of His worth  (John Piper Quotes) God is not an employer looking for employees. He is an Eagle looking for people who will take refuge under his wings.  (John Piper Quotes) Imagination is the faculty of the mind that God has given us to make the communication of his beauty beautiful.  (John Piper Quotes) 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 Quotes) The best news of the Christian gospel is that the supremely glorious Creator of the universe has acted in Jesus Christ’s death and resurrection to remove every obstacle between us and himself so that we may find everlasting joy in seeing and savoring his infinite beauty.  (John Piper Quotes) There are many pointers in the Bible concerning the rightness, the goodness, the beauty, the justice, the preciousness of racial harmony and diversity.  (John Piper Quotes) The highest mental health is not liking myself but being joyfully interested in everything but myself.  (John Piper Quotes) Being infinite, God is inexhaustibly interesting. It is therefore impossible that God be boring.  (John Piper Quotes) God created a good world that was subjected to futility because of the sinful, treasonous choice of the first human beings.  (John Piper Quotes) In all the setbacks of your life as a believer, God is plotting for your joy  (John Piper Quotes) God is infinitely valuable. I can’t think of anything that would have a greater impact on your life than for you to believe that.  (John Piper Quotes) Reading and understanding the Bible involves lots and lots of interpretation. Not just in light of the world and culture around us, but in reference to other parts of the Bible.  (John Piper Quotes) Little hearts, little souls give little lusts big power. Big hearts give little lusts little power.  (John Piper Quotes) Jesus Christ... came into the world to vindicate the infinite worth of God’s holiness which had been desecrated by our sin and which seemed... to be taken lightly because it was being passed over for nothing more than the blood of bulls.  (John Piper Quotes)
