“Desire that your life count for something great! Long for your life to have eternal significance. Want this! Don’t coast through life without a passion.”
― John Piper, Don't Waste Your Life

“My feelings are not God. God is God. My feelings do not define truth. God’s word defines truth. My feelings are echoes and responses to what my mind perceives. And sometimes - many times - my feelings are out of sync with the truth. When that happens - and it happens every day in some measure - I try not to bend the truth to justify my imperfect feelings, but rather, I plead with God: Purify my perceptions of your truth and transform my feelings so that they are in sync with the truth.”
― John Piper, Finally Alive

“Books don't change people; paragraphs do, Sometimes even sentences.”

“We weren't meant to be somebody--we were meant to know Somebody”
