More From John Piper

God will not turn away from doing you good. he will keep on doing good. he doesn't do good to his children sometimes and bad to them other times. he keeps on doing good and he never will stop doing good for ten thousand ages of ages. when things are going bad that does not mean god has stopped doing good. it means he is shifting things around to get them in place for more good, if you will go on loving him.

What is sin? it is the glory of god not honored. the holiness of god not reverenced. the greatness of god not admired. the power of god not praised. the truth of god not sought. the wisdom of god not esteemed. the beauty of god not treasured. the goodness of god not savored. the faithfulness of god not trusted. the commandments of god not obeyed. the justice of god not respected. the wrath of god not feared. the grace of god not cherished. the presence of god not prized. the person of god not loved. that is sin.

The terrible tabulation of the french statists brings every piece of whim and humor to be reducible also to exact numerical ratios. if one man in twenty thousand, or in thirty thousand, eats shoes, or marries his grandmother, then, in every twenty thousand, or thirty thousand, is found one man who eats shoes, or marries his grandmother.

If you work for a man, in heavens name work for him! if he pays you wages that supply you your bread and butter, work for him speak well of him, think well of him, stand by him and stand by the institution he represents. i think if i worked for a man i would work for him. i would not work for him a part of the time, and the rest of the time work against him. i would give an undivided service or none. if put to the pinch, an ounce of loyalty is worth a pound of cleverness.

Thus you can throw yourself flat on the ground, stretched out upon mother earth, with the certain conviction that you are one with her and she with you. you are as firmly established, as invulnerable as she, indeed a thousand times firmer and more invulnerable. as surely as she will engulf you tomorrow, so surely will she bring you forth anew to the new striving and suffering. and not merely "some day." now, today, every day she is bringing you forth, not once but thousands upon thousands of times, just as every day she engulfs you a thousand times over.

I heard my mother talking badly of me to people who were talking badly of me in her salon. that's probably the thing that i'm most sensitive of in all my friendships and my relationships. i just... i just can't take that. i'm comfortable with enemies, but i can't take it from friends.

It occurs to me: why is it mainly women, who to pass on the faith? simply because the one who brought us jesus is a woman. it is the path chosen by jesus. he wanted to have a mother: the gift of faith comes to us through women, as jesus came to us through mary.

Nothing is so pregnant as cruelty; so multifarious, so rapid, so ever teeming a mother is unknown to the animal kingdom; each of her experiments provokes another and refines upon the last; though always progressive, yet always remote from the end.

Neither loss of father, nor loss of mother, dear as she was to mr thornton, could have poisoned the remembrance of the weeks, the days, the hours, when a walk of two miles, every step of which was pleasant, as it brought him nearer and nearer to her, took him to her sweet presence - every step of which was rich, as each recurring moment that bore him away from her made him recal some fresh grace in her demeanour, or pleasant pungency in her character.
