Text Quotes
The Christian - the biblical - concept of mercy toward wrongdoers only exists in relation to justice. Showing mercy, in relation to wrongdoing, means treating someone better than they deserve.  (John Piper Quotes) Prosperity cannot be a proof of God’s favor, since it is what the devil promises to those who worship him. (Matt. 4:9)  (John Piper Quotes) Doing things in secret that you are ashamed for others to know is practical atheism. God’s knowing doesn’t count?  (John Piper Quotes) Doing right for right’s sake is atheistic.Christians should do what God says is right because in doing it we enjoy more of God.  (John Piper Quotes) Don’t assume that all fat people are gluttons. And don’t use the word ‘fat.’ There is a principle here. Learn from logic and experience not to associate things - especially in preaching - that don’t necessarily go together.  (John Piper Quotes) Every sin flows from the failure to treasure the glory of God above all things  (John Piper Quotes) The presence of hope in the invincible sovereignty of God drives out fear  (John Piper Quotes) I will not waste my life! I will finish my course and finish it well. I will display the Gospel of the grace of God in all I do. I will run my race to the end. - Paul  (John Piper Quotes) 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 Quotes) Forgiveness costs us nothing. All our costly obedience is the fruit, not the root, of being forgiven. That’s why we call it grace.  (John Piper Quotes) Faith begins with a backward look at the cross, but it lives with a forward look at the promises  (John Piper Quotes) Out of the freedom from worry that God’s generosity provides comes an impulse toward simplicity rather than accumulation.  (John Piper Quotes) Gratitude is the joy that arises in response to God’s good will toward us in all his gifts  (John Piper Quotes) 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 Quotes) There are a thousand needs in the world, and none of them compares to the global need for the gospel.  (John Piper Quotes) The apex of glorifying God is enjoying Him with the heart. But this is empty emotionalism where that joy is not awakened and sustained by true views of God for who He really is  (John Piper Quotes) Love is doing what will enthrall the beloved with the greatest and longest joy. What will enthrall the beloved this way is the glory of God. Love means doing all we can, at whatever cost to ourselves, to help people be enthralled with the glory of God. When they are, they are satisfied and God is glorified. Therefore loving people and glorifying God are one.  (John Piper Quotes) God has ordained that Satan have a long leash with God holding on to the leash because he knows that when we walk in and out of those temptations, struggling with both the physical effects that they bring and the moral effects that they bring, more of God’s glory will shine.  (John Piper Quotes) Betrayed by Judas, denied by Peter, abandoned by the eleven, forsaken by God. Darkness, you get one hour. Then you die.  (John Piper Quotes) When people think about ‘thinking,’ they often think ‘academia;’ they think ‘threat.’ They think ‘coldness.’ I want to reverse all those images and say, ‘No, the brain God gave you is intended to throw fuel on the fire of your affections for God. It’s really good at it if you let it.’  (John Piper Quotes) The deepest and most enduring happiness is found only in God. Not from God, but in God.  (John Piper Quotes) God is on the move to rescue people from misery to everlasting happiness, which can only be found in him.  (John Piper Quotes) He shook my dozing soul and threw the cold water of reality in my face, so that life and God and heaven and hell broke into my world with glory and horror. (on CS Lewis)  (John Piper Quotes) Humble us, O God, under your mighty hand, and let us rise, not as professionals, but as witnesses and partakers of the sufferings of Christ.  (John Piper Quotes) God was alive when this universe exploded into existence. He was alive when Socrates drank his poison. He was the living God when William Bradford governed Plymouth Colony. He was the living God in 1966 when Thomas Altizer proclaimed him dead and Time magazine absolutely absurdly put it on the front cover.  (John Piper Quotes) Not going to God because your faith is weak is like not going to the doctor because you feel sick  (John Piper Quotes) God did not just overcome evil at the cross. He made evil serve the overcoming of evil. He made evil commit suicide in doing its worst evil.  (John Piper Quotes) God gives life and he takes life. Everybody who dies, dies because God wills that they die.  (John Piper Quotes) The goal of missions is the gladness of the peoples in the greatness of God  (John Piper Quotes) God is not worn out running the galaxy. He’s not taxed at all guiding every dust particle all the time.  (John Piper Quotes)
