Missions is not the ultimate goal of the church. Worship is. Missions exists because worship doesn’t. -John Piper

You’ve nibbled at the world
If you don’t feel strong desires for the manifestation of the glory of God, it is not because you have drunk deeply and are satisfied. It is because you have nibbled so long at the table of the world. Your soul is stuffed with small things, and there is no room for the great. -John Piper
Christ did not die to forgive
Christ did not die to forgive sinners who go on treasuring anything above seeing and savoring God. -John Piper
The strength of your patience
The strength of patience hangs on our capacity to believe that God is up to something good for us in all our delays and detours. -John Piper
Christ is glorified in me
Christ is glorified in me when people see he is more precious to me than all that life can give or death can take. -John Piper
Desire God above all
If we don’t want God above all things, we have not been converted by the gospel. -John Piper
