“If we only trust Christ to give us gifts and not himself as the all-satisfying gift, then we do not trust him in a way that honors him as our treasure. We simply honor the gifts. They are what we really want, not him.”
― John Piper ,
“When this age is over, and the countless millions of the redeemed fall on their faces before the throne of God, missions will be no more. It is a temporary necessity. But worship abides forever. Worship, therefore, is the fuel and the goal of missions.8”

“The teaching that diminishes the urgency for reaching all the unreached peoples of the world with the only news that can save them is a teaching that opposes people. Listen to these severe words spoken by the apostle Paul about what it means to "oppose all mankind." He says that those who killed the Lord Jesus "drove us out, and displease God and oppose all mankind by hindering us from speaking to the Gentiles that they might be saved" (1 Thess. 2:14-16). This is what people do who tell us that the nations don't need to hear about Jesus in order to be saved. They oppose all mankind. Oh, how we need to let the Bible define what love does!”
“Quoting Scripture texts is different than shaping a worldview around them.”
“What is love for, if not to intensify our affections—both in life and death? But, O, do not be bitter. It is tragically self-destructive to be bitter.”
“Be glad in the Lord and receive willingly from His Hand all that he designs for my holiness - both painful and pleasant.”
“Genuine love is the glad effort to make others glad in God forever. Genuine love is being willing to suffer and die to draw as many people as we can into the pursuit and enjoyment of God.”
“So waiting is a holy work Of faith in God. Nor does there lurk Beneath the timing of his ways Some secret malice that displays Itself in holding back the flow Of future grace. God does not go From here to there by shortest routes; He makes a place for faith and doubts. Nor does he hasten on his way, But comes when it is best, today, Or maybe twenty years from now, Or more.”
― John Piper ,
“The discipline to rise early is not as difficult as the discipline of going to bed. This did not used to be so. Before electricity and radio and television and the Internet, going to bed soon after dark was not so difficult. There was not much to do. Today the strongest allurements to stay up and be entertained are against us. Therefore, the battle against weariness, which makes us drowsy as soon as we open our Bible in the morning, has to be fought in the evening, not just in the morning.”
“The pathway to maturity and to solid biblical food is not first becoming an intelligent person, but becoming an obedient person.”
“أما عبادة البطولة عند نيتشه فكانت تصاحبها نزعة حادة كارهة للمرأة، تحبذ معاملة النساء، كالقطيع، وهو اتجاه يعكس في رأينا عجز نيتشه عن التعامل مع الجنس اللطيف.”
“من سمات عصرنا الحالي التي تدعو إلى الأسى، والتي ربما كانت حصيلة الكوارث العالمية المتلاحقة في هذا القرن، ان معظم الناس لم يعودوا يجدون في أنفسهم الشجاعة ليعيشوا بدون عقيدة سياسية جامدة صارمة”
“كان المستوى الثقافي لرجال الاصلاح (الديني) ذاتهم أقل من علماء الحركة الانسانية الذي مهدوا لهم الطريق، غير أنهم كانوا يملكون الحماسة الثورية التي يجد المفكرون الناقدون في كثير من الأحيان صعوبة في إبدائها.”
“على الرغم من أن حركة النهضة قد حررت الناس من جمود الكنيسة وتصلب معتقداتها، فإنها لم تنقذهم من مختلف ضروب الخرافة القديمة. فقد اكتسب التنجيم، الذي كانت الكنيسة تحاربه دائما، شعبية واسعة، وانتقلت عدواه من الجهلة إلى المتعلمين أيضاً.”
“When our life in him is healthy and vibrant, we do not only ache to keep sinking our roots down deep in him, but we also want to stretch out our branches and extend his goodness to others.”
“…A good instinct to develop on the threshold of significant purchases is to ask what this expenditure reveals about our heart. What desire am I trying to fulfill?”
