John Piper | When you finally recognize that God wants to make you happier than you could ever dream, nothing will ever be the same again.

John Piper | The supreme goal of all Jonathan Edwards’s life and work was that God would be glorified through his people being supremely satisfied in him.

John Piper | Tuesday, October 31, 2017, marks the 500th anniversary of the beginning of the Protestant Reformation with Luther’s nailing of his 95 Theses to the door of the church in Wittenberg.

John Piper | When a Christian reads the Bible, a supernatural event takes place. Our regenerate souls meet the inspired word in a divine encounter.

John Piper | Only what’s done for Christ will last. Any risk, any trial, any tribulation is worth the risk when your aim in all of life is to make others glad in God.

John Piper | Sooner or later, every leader will hand off the baton to the next generation — and where better to center pastoral succession than in the word of God himself?

John Piper | All the Bible knowledge in the world won’t help you unless you cherish God’s truth. We’re nothing more than Pharisees unless we taste the glory of God in his word.

John Piper | No truth was more central to the Reformation that turned the world upside down 500 years ago: God justifies sinners by faith alone.

John Piper | God works every dot on the timeline of history for his glory. Nothing stands outside the scope of his plan to bring fame to his name, for the joy of his people.

John Piper | We often live as though we are God, but biblical thinking assumes that God is the center of all reality.

John Piper | Christ calls us to live and die in such a way that we magnify his worth. Anything less is a wasted life.

John Piper | Pain and suffering exist to make plain the horrors of the sinful heart and the wonders of the sovereign Christ.

John Piper | Only a love sustained by genuine joy in God will propel us to take the gospel to the hardest places in the world.

John Piper | Genuine preaching aims to display the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

John Piper | In the fight for faith, our minds serve our hearts. Right knowledge fuels true passion.

John Piper | The ultimate goal of the gospel is that God would be glorified in our enjoyment of him. God’s glory and our satisfaction are not two different ends, they’re one.

John Piper | True Christian education prepares us to enjoy God and love our neighbors even more than it prepares us for the workforce.

John Piper | The Christian life is a fight. But our deadliest enemy doesn’t attack us from the outside, but from within.

John Piper | Real love is the overflow of joy in God that meets the needs of others, especially when it’s costly.

John Piper | Christians don’t fly solo. Our faith won’t survive unless brothers and sisters in Christ keep us accountable.

John Piper | Five hundred years ago, the Reformers fought to recover the true gospel. Fifteen hundred years before, God used Paul to pen the Reformers’ central text for justification by faith alone.

John Piper | Your joy in God multiplies exponentially as you seek the good of your brothers and sisters in the body of Christ.

John Piper | God has a place for every single one of us in missions. Some of us send, some of us go, but we must all have a gospel ambition.

John Piper | The only reason any of us know God is because he chose us before the foundation of the world. Nothing we’ve done can earn our way to him — it’s all grace.

John Piper | At the end of your life, as your energy fades, God will be your refuge and strength.
