John Piper | Bitterness and impatience may seem like frightful enemies, but when we lay claim to Scripture’s promises, we can take seeming setbacks in faith that God himself is at work for our good.

John Piper | If lust is left unchecked, it will choke the life from your soul. But God has given us great and precious promises that far surpass anything sexual pleasure has to offer.

John Piper | Battling covetousness and greed isn’t just a matter of self-denial, but trusting God that he will be for you something infinitely greater than money or stuff.

John Piper | When anxieties and struggles with sin inevitably rise up against us, the best strategy for fighting back is trusting believing specific promises of Scripture.

John Piper | Looking forward to God’s promises of our future reward empowers us to faithfulness and sacrificial love here and now.

John Piper | God’s eternal promises don’t just help us gain eternal perspective, but actually empowers us to walk in Spirit-led obedience today.

John Piper | Gratitude can only take us so far in the Christian life. To keep pressing on in holiness, we need to hold onto God’s promises, and pursue them in faith.

John Piper | Grace isn’t only God’s forgiving disposition to save us, but daily power for living, as we hope fully in all that he promises to be for us in Jesus Christ.

John Piper | Holiness isn’t optional in the Christian life. Salvation is ever by grace through faith, but genuine saving faith always works by love.

John Piper | Future grace isn’t a get-holy-quick scheme, but a biblical strategy for battling unbelief and progressing in holiness.

John Piper | Watch out for smooth-talking pastors, no matter how popular, if they do not manifestly prize the whole counsel of God.

No one can bear the responsibility and weight of missions, but our sufficiency is from God.

Our churches don’t need better productions and more entertainment. We need pastors and leaders who give themselves completely to exalting the supremacy of God in absolutely everything.

John Piper | Pastoral ministry is a call to an intellectually robust life that thinks and meditates and ponders over God’s word and God’s world for the fame of Jesus’s name.

John Piper | If a pastor doesn’t pursue his own joy in God, he compromises his ministry. To overflow with grace and love, the pastor’s heart must be centered on God himself.

All the benefits of the gospel come together in the highest good we can imagine: God brings us to joy in himself and keeps us forever safe in him.

The greatest gift of the gospel isn’t what God gives to us but who he is to us. Only when we receive him as our highest treasure will we truly know the beauty of all Jesus Christ has accomplished.

The greatest gift God can give us is himself. Without him, we have no cause for joy.

The best news in all the world is the gospel of Jesus Christ. And the sweetest prize of that gospel is the gift of God himself.

Pastors are called to be ministers of grace who work with their people for their joy in the faith.

Love is the overflow of joy in God that meets the needs of others; therefore, pursuing joy in God is not optional for the sake of genuine love.
