Suggest Revision: Sin is what you do when your heart is not satisfied with God. No one sins out of duty. We sin because it holds some promise of happiness. That promise enslaves us until we believe that God is more desired than life itself.
 
 John Piper quotes 
Suggest Revision: All of history is moving toward one great goal, the white-hot worship of God and His Son among all the peoples of the earth. Missions is not that goal. It is the means. And for that reason it is the second greatest human activity in the world.
 
 John Piper quotes 
Suggest Revision: Every good thing in the Christian life grows in the soil of humility. Without humility, every virtue and every grace withers. Thats why Calvin said humility is first, second, and third in the Christian faith.
 
 John Piper quotes 
Suggest Revision: Do you love the cross because it makes much of you? Or do you love it because it enables you to enjoy and eternity of making much of God?
 
 John Piper quotes 
Suggest Revision: Desire that your life count for something great! Long for your life to have eternal significance. Want this! Dont coast through life without a passion.
 
 John Piper quotes 
Suggest Revision: What is the essence of evil? It is forsaking a living fountain for broken cisterns. God gets derision and we get death. They are one: choosing sugarcoated misery we mock the lifegiving God. It was meant to be another way: God's glory exalted in our everlasting joy.
 
 John Piper quotes 
Suggest Revision: We can say that true gratitude does not give rise to the debtor's ethic because it gives rise to faith in future grace. With true gratitude there is such a delight in the worth of God's past grace, that we are driven on to experience more and more of it in the future...it is done by transforming gratitude into faith as it turns from contemplating the pleasures of past grace and starts contemplating the promises of the future.
 
 John Piper quotes 
Suggest Revision: God is pursuing with omnipotent passion a worldwide purpose of gathering joyful worshipers for Himself from every tribe and tongue and people and nation. He has an inexhaustible enthusiasm for the supremacy of His name among the nations. Therefore, let us bring our affections into line with His, and, for the sake of His name, let us renounce the quest for worldly comforts and join His global purpose.
 
 John Piper quotes 
Suggest Revision: If you alter or obscure the Biblical portrait of God in order to attract converts, you don't get converts to God, you get converts to an illusion. This is not evangelism, but deception.
 
 John Piper quotes 
Suggest Revision: Heaven is a place of unparalleled and indescribable joy.
