“Don’t be surprised. There is nothing new under the sun. Only endless repackagings”
― John Piper, Don't Waste Your Life

“It is about the greatness of God, not the significance of man. God made man small and the universe big to say something about himself.”
― John Piper, Don't Waste Your Life

“God seldom calls us for an easier life, but always calls us to know more of him and drink more deeply of His sustaining grace.”
― John Piper, Don't Waste Your Life

“America today is a "save yourself" society if there ever was one. But does it really work? The underdeveloped societies suffer from one set of diseases: tuberculosis, malnutrition, pneumonia, parasites, typhoid, cholera, typhus, etc. Affluent America has virtually invented a whole new set of diseases: obesity, arteriosclerosis, heart disease, strokes, lung cancer, venereal disease, cirrhosis of the liver, drug addiction, alcoholism, divorce, battered children, suicide, murder. Take your choice. Labor-saving machines have turned out to be body-killing devices. Our affluence has allowed both mobility and isolation of the nuclear family, and as a result, our divorce courts, our prisons and our mental institutions are flooded. In saving ourselves we have nearly lost ourselves.”
― John Piper, Don't Waste Your Life
