Text Quotes
The very longing for contentment that ought to drive us to simplicity of life and labors of love contents itself instead with the broken cisterns of prosperity and comfort.  (John Piper Quotes) Headship is the divine calling of a husband to take primary responsibility for Christlike, servant leadership, protection, and provision in the home.  (John Piper Quotes) God has levels of willing and delighting. He wills and delights in things in different ways so that approval and disapproval can coexist without being contradictory, without canceling each other out. I am making the case here for infinite complexity.  (John Piper Quotes) The great danger of riches is that our affections will be carried away from God to His gifts  (John Piper Quotes) ...childlike wonder and awe have died. The scenery and poetry and music of the majesty of God have dried up like a forgotten peach at the back of the refrigerator.  (John Piper Quotes) Without the renewed mind, we will distort the Scriptures to avoid their radical commands for self-denial, and love, and purity, and supreme satisfaction in Christ alone.  (John Piper Quotes) The giving of the Quran is in Islam what the incarnation of Christ is to Christianity. If this is so, then Quran-burning is parallel to Christ-crucifying.  (John Piper Quotes) Seeing and savoring Jesus Christ is the most important seeing and savoring you’ll ever do  (John Piper Quotes) Maintaining joy in God takes ‘work’ that is, it’s a fight against every impulse for alien joys and every obstacle in the way to seeing and savoring Christ.  (John Piper Quotes) The way of the cross is the way of suffering. Christians are called to die, not kill, in order to show the world how they are loved by Christ.  (John Piper Quotes) Christian fasting, at its root, is the hunger of a homesickness for God  (John Piper Quotes) The Christian life becomes impossible. That is, it becomes supernatural.  (John Piper Quotes) CHRISTIAN LIVING MOVES from what God has freely done for us in Christ to what we should freely do for others.  (John Piper Quotes) Nothing is more vital than prayer in Christian existence, and few things are more vulnerable to neglect.  (John Piper Quotes) This is God’s universal purpose for all Christian suffering: more contentment in God and less satisfaction in the world.  (John Piper Quotes) Christmas: the Son of God expressing the love of God to save us from the wrath of God so we could enjoy the presence of God.  (John Piper Quotes) Servanthood does not nullify leadership; it defines it. Jesus does not cease to be the Lion of Judah when He becomes the lamblike servant of the church.  (John Piper Quotes) Marriage is not mainly about prospering economically. It is mainly about displaying the covenant keeping love between Christ and his Church  (John Piper Quotes) Missions is not the ultimate goal of the church. Worship is. Missions exists because worship doesn’t.  (John Piper Quotes) The engagement of the heart in worship is the coming alive of the feelings and emotions and affections of the heart. Where feelings for God are dead, worship is dead.  (John Piper Quotes) Will I find spiritual communion with God sweet enough, and hope in his promises deep enough, not just to cope, but to flourish and rejoice in him?  (John Piper Quotes) My prayer is that the good news of Jesus, the crucified and risen Messiah, would flood Jewish communities around the world, that the veil would be lifted, and that we would see a massive turning of Israel to the Lord Jesus.  (John Piper Quotes) Life and death! They seem like complete opposites-at great enmity with each other. But for Paul-and for all who share his faith-there is a unity, because the same great passion is fulfilled in both-namely, that Christ be magnified in this body-our bodies-whether by life or by death.  (John Piper Quotes) The end of the creation is that God may communicate happiness to the creature  (John Piper Quotes) The most dangerous thing in the world is the sin of self-reliance and the stupor of worldliness  (John Piper Quotes) We look at life from the back side of the tapestry. And most of the time, what we see is loose threads, tangled knots and the like. But occasionally, God’s light shines through the tapestry, and we get a glimpse of the larger design with God weaving together the darks and lights of existence.  (John Piper Quotes) The greatest threat to your ministry, dear brothers, is that you lose your joy in God  (John Piper Quotes) Christ is glorified in you when he is more precious to you than all that life can give or death can take.  (John Piper Quotes) Marriage. The roots are deep. The covenant is solid. The love is sweet. Life is hard. And God is good.  (John Piper Quotes) As much as we can, let’s defend the truth by pointing to what the apostles taught, and let’s call out sin by pointing to the inconsistencies between what we say we believe and what we do.  (John Piper Quotes)
