John Piper

When people think about 'thinking,' they often think 'academia;' they think 'threat.' They think 'coldness.' I want to reverse all those images and say, 'No, the brain God gave you is intended to throw fuel on the fire of your affections for God. It's really good at it if you let it.'

The best news of the Christian gospel is that the supremely glorious Creator of the universe has acted in Jesus Christ's death and resurrection to remove every obstacle between us and himself so that we may find everlasting joy in seeing and savoring his infinite beauty.

The Bible does not oppose or forbid interracial marriages but sees them as a positive good for the glory of Christ.

One way to appreciate C.S. Lewis is to see how his Christian humility shaped his life and work.

Do all things without grumbling. Why? You have a sovereign God who is on your side, who works everything together for your good.

You do the hundreds of things that a Christward heart does in the hope that God will put a match to those little sparks to cause it to become a conflagration in a community or in a nation.

Neither Muslims nor anyone else truly worships the true God if they reject Jesus as he really is in the Gospels.

The bloodline of Jesus is thicker, deeper, stronger than the bloodline of race, ethnicity and family.

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.

The essence of faith is being satisfied with all that God is for us in Jesus.

God created a good world that was subjected to futility because of the sinful, treasonous choice of the first human beings.

Human beings were put on the planet to depend upon their Creator and to worship their Creator at every point in every sphere of culture.
