John Piper Quotes About Earth

• La cuestión fundamental para nuestra generación -y para todas las generaciones- es la siguiente: Si pudieras tener el cielo, sin enfermedades, y con todos los amigos que has tenido en la tierra, y toda la comida que te ha gustado, y todas las actividades de ocio que has disfrutado, y todas las bellezas naturales que has visto, todos los placeres físicos que has probado, y ningún conflicto humano ni ningún desastre natural, ¿podrías estar satisfecho con el cielo, si Cristo no estuviera allí?

  John Piper

  Nuestra generación, Actividades de ocio, Cielo

• All of history is moving toward one great goal, the white-hot worship of God and His Son among all the peoples of the earth. Missions is not that goal. It is the means. And for that reason it is the second greatest human activity in the world.

  John Piper

  Moving, Mean, Son

• A la gente no le gusta la sal. Les gusta lo salado. Somos la sal de la tierra. No existimos para nosotros mismos.

• There is no other way the world is going to see the supreme glory of Christ today, except that we break free from the Disneyland of America and begin to live lifestyles of missionary sacrifice that looks to the world like our treasure is in heaven and not on the earth.

  John Piper

  Live Life, Sacrifice, America

• Oh that God would help me waken in you a single passion for a single great reality that would unleash you, and set you free from small dreams, and send you, for the glory of Christ, into all the spheres of secular life and to all the peoples of the earth.

  John Piper

  Dream, Passion, Reality

• No sonreímos ante la miseria o el jolgorio de la cultura inmoral. Lloramos. Ser peregrinos no significa ser cínicos. La sal de la tierra no se burla de la carne podrida. Donde puede, salva y sazona. Y donde no puede, llora.

  John Piper

  Mean, Cynical, Rotting

• My Paradise: With Christ. Not sinning. No pain. New earth. Precious in that order.

  John Piper

  Pain, Order, Earth

• Amar a Dios no significa satisfacer sus necesidades, sino deleitarse en Él y dejarse cautivar por su glorioso poder y gracia, y valorarlo por encima de todas las cosas de la tierra. Todo el resto de los mandamientos son el tipo de cosas que haremos de corazón, si nuestros corazones están verdaderamente deleitados y descansan en la gloria de la gracia de Dios.

  John Piper

  Heart, Mean, Grace

• If the pursuit of God's glory is not ordered above the pursuit of man's good in the affections of the heart and the priorities of the Church, man will not be well served, and God will not be duly honored. I am not pleading for a diminishing of missions but for a magnifying of God. When the flame of worship burns with the heat of God's true worth, the light of missions will shine to the darkest peoples on earth. And I long for that day to come!

  John Piper

  John Piper (2010). “Let the Nations Be Glad!: The Supremacy of God in Missions”, p.36, Baker Academic

• All of history is moving toward one great goal, the white-hot worship of God and his Son among all the peoples of the earth. Missions exists because worship doesn't. Worship is ultimate, not missions, because God is ultimate, not man.... 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.
