Remember how mean you where when we first met? Piper laughed and Conrad smiled and tentativly relaxed. Boy did you ever have everyone fooled because you're about the nicest person I ever met. Conrad blushed. ~ Victoria Forester
Piper quotes by Victoria Forester
This is why it is often called sovereign grace: it raises the dead. The dead do not raise themselves. God does by his grace. And it is this "glorious grace" that will be praised for all eternity. ~ John Piper
Piper quotes by John Piper
Neither Muslims nor anyone else truly worships the true God if they reject Jesus as he really is in the Gospels. ~ John Piper
Piper quotes by John Piper
Now comes the really amazing part. What is offered to the world, to everyone who hears the gospel, is not a love or saving achievement designed for all and therefore especially for no one; but rather, what is offered is the absolute fullness of all that Christ achieved for his elect. ~ John Piper
Piper quotes by John Piper
The fears that the few good things that make you happy are slipping through your fingers, and the frustrations that the bad things you hate about yourself or your situation can't be changed - these fears and these frustrations are what Christmas came to destroy. ~ John Piper
Piper quotes by John Piper
The attic smelled like dust and mice. Piper was sure she could hear faint scuttling sounds off in the shadows, feel beady eyes upon her. She hoped it was only mice and not something larger, something more dangerous.
Was it more than rustling?
Was that faint breathing she heard coming from the darkest corner, the place where no light touched? ~ Jennifer McMahon
Piper quotes by Jennifer McMahon
Reyna clapped him [Frank] on the back. 'That's right. For hundreds of years, the gods tried to separate us to keep us from fighting. But there's a better kind of peace – cooperation.'
Piper stood up from the audience. 'Are you sure your mom is a war goddess? ~ Rick Riordan
Piper quotes by Rick Riordan
The bloodline of Christ is deeper than the bloodlines of race. ~ John Piper
Piper quotes by John Piper
All of them had been give a makeover. Leo was wearing pinstriped pants, black leather shoes, a white collarless shirt with suspenders, and his tool
belt, Ray-Ban sunglasses, and a porkpie hat.
"God, Leo." Piper tried not to laugh. "I think my dad wore that to his last premiere, minus the tool belt."
"Hey, shut up!"
"I think he looks good," said Coach Hedge. "'Course, I look better."
The satyr was a pastel nightmare. Aphrodite had given him a baggy canary yellow zoot suit with two-tone shoes that fit over his hooves. He had a
matching yellow broad-brimmed hat, a rose-colored shirt, a baby blue tie, and a blue carnation in his lapel, which Hedge sniffed and then ate.
"Well," Jason said, "at least your mom overlooked me."
Piper knew that wasn't exactly true. Looking at him, her heart did a little tap dance. Jason was dressed simply in jeans and a clean purple T-shirt, like
he'd worn at the Grand Canyon. He had new track shoes on, and his hair was newly trimmed. His eyes were the same color as the sky. Aphrodite's
message was clear: This one needs no improvement.
And Piper agreed. ~ Rick Riordan
Piper quotes by Rick Riordan
Early in the 1990s, I flew alone in a dandelion-yellow, single-engine, 180-horsepower Piper Cherokee from Westchester County Airport in New York westward to the Rocky Mountains, landing and refuelling a good many times in middle-sized cities and towns along the way. ~ Cynthia Ozick
Piper quotes by Cynthia Ozick
Redemption, salvation, and restoration are not God's ultimate goal. These He performs for the sake of something greater: namely, the enjoyment He has in glorifying Himself. ~ John Piper
Piper quotes by John Piper
I sometimes fear that we have so redefined conversion in terms of human decisions and have so removed any necessity of the experience of God's Spirit, that many people think they are saved when in fact they only have Christian ideas in their head not spiritual power in their heart. ~ John Piper
Piper quotes by John Piper
You can only really open yourself up so far to someone that you don't truly love - you keep something back when you know somewhere in your gut that this relationship is going to be forever. ~ Piper Perabo
Piper quotes by Piper Perabo
But time was a beast, a big, indolent immovable beast that wasn't interested in my efforts at hastening it in any direction. ~ Piper Kerman
Piper quotes by Piper Kerman
This point is often missed by evangelical feminists. They conclude that a difference in function necessarily involves a difference in essence; i.e., if men are in authority over women, then women must be inferior. The relationship between Christ and the Father shows us that this reasoning is flawed. One can possess a different function and still be equal in essence and worth. Women are equal to men in essence and in being; there is no ontological distinction, and yet they have a different function or role in church and home. Such differences do not logically imply inequality or inferiority, just as Christ's subjection to the Father does not imply His inferiority. ~ John Piper
Piper quotes by John Piper
The great barrier to worship among God's people is not that we are always seeking our own satisfaction, but that our seeking is so weak and half-hearted that we settle for little sips at broken cisterns when the fountain of life is just over the next hill. ~ John Piper
Piper quotes by John Piper
I feel a special calling to impart hope to the church I serve. ~ John Piper
Piper quotes by John Piper
The wonder of marriage is woven into the wonder of the gospel of the cross of Christ, and the message of the cross is foolishness to the natural man, and so the meaning of marriage is foolishness to the natural man. ~ John Piper
Piper quotes by John Piper
One of these days lightning is going to fill the sky from the
rising of the sun to its setting, and there is going to appear in the
clouds one like a son of man with his mighty angels in flaming
fire. And we will see him clearly. And whether from terror or
sheer excitement, we will tremble and we will wonder how, how
we ever lived so long with such a domesticated, harmless Christ. ~ John Piper
Piper quotes by John Piper
Christ did not die to forgive sinners who go on treasuring anything above seeing and savoring God. And people who would be happy in heaven if Christ were not there, will not be there. The gospel is not a way to get people to heaven; it is a way to get people to God. It's a way of overcoming every obstacle to everlasting joy in God. If we don't want God above all things, we have not been converted by the gospel. ~ John Piper
Piper quotes by John Piper
Phillip has enough to worry about. He doesn't have time to have his heart broken by my man-eating twin," Piper teased.
Reese faked a hurt look as she said, "Hey, I make sure they're satisfied before I feed! ~ Toni Aleo
Piper quotes by Toni Aleo
I like the fact that I can go away and lose myself so I don't have to live in the world of courage that everyone else does. I like creating, it's what I do, and acting allows me to stretch all those different muscles in all kinds of ways. That's pretty cool. ~ Roddy Piper
Piper quotes by Roddy Piper
You know, it's quite all right to give the underdog a hand, but only one hand. Keep the other hand on your pistol - or he'll try to eat the one you gave him! ~ H. Beam Piper
Piper quotes by H. Beam Piper
And, Father, most of all, you taught
Me there's a Pow'r in love that naught
Can thwart, and that it moves where truth
And courage speak, and neither youth
Nor age can hinder its success,
But only fear and quietness. ~ John Piper
Piper quotes by John Piper
The fruit of love is worked in us through the Spirit 'by hearing with faith.' The Spirit will not bear his fruit in us apart from our faith. Why is this?..The answer seems to be that the Holy Spirit loves to glorify the all-satisfying dependability of Christ and his Word. If the Holy Spirt simply caused acts of love in the human heart without any clear, ongoing causal connection with faith in Christ's promises, then it would not be plain that Christ is honored through love. ~ John Piper
Piper quotes by John Piper
Does not the Old Testament promise that God will prosper His people? Indeed! God increases our yield so that by giving we can prove that our yield is not our god. God does not prosper a man's business so he can move from a Ford to a Cadillac. God prospers a business so that thousands of unreached peoples can be reached with the gospel. ~ John Piper
Piper quotes by John Piper
Prue touched piper's shoulder. "Don't worry, no one's going to the attic. but theres no point in leaving the house. we are perfectly safe here."
"Don't say that!" Piper cried. "in horror movies, the person that says that is always the next to die. ~ Constance M. Burge
Piper quotes by Constance M. Burge
She wondered if it was her stupid mother, the goddess of love, messing with her thoughts. If Piper started getting urges to read fashion magazines, she was going to have to find Aphrodite and smack her. ~ Rick Riordan
Piper quotes by Rick Riordan
Woe to us if we get our satisfaction from the food in the kitchen and the TV in the den and the sex in the bedroom with an occasional tribute to the cement blocks in the basement! ~ John Piper
Piper quotes by John Piper
Too many Christians are fighting graduate school sins with a grammar school knowledge of God. ~ John Piper
Piper quotes by John Piper
Now-what's our game plan?"
Coach Hedge belched. He'd already had three espressos and a plate of doughnuts, along with two napkins and another flower from the vase on the table. He would've eaten the silverware, except Piper had slapped his hand.
"Climb the mountain," Hedge said. "Kill everything except Piper's dad. Leave."
"Thank you General Eisenhower," Jason grumbles. ~ Rick Riordan
Piper quotes by Rick Riordan
God created us with sexual passion so that there would be language to describe what it means to cleave to him in love and what it means to turn away from him to others. ~ John Piper
Piper quotes by John Piper
Nothing sobers a wandering philosophical imagination like the thought of having a wife and children to support. ~ John Piper
Piper quotes by John Piper
There was a general murmuring, no real words, nothing that would get anyone into trouble if the piper turned nasty, but a muttering indicating, in a general sense, without wishing to cause umbrage, and seeing everyone's point of view, and taking one thing with another, and all things being equal, that people would like to see the boy given a chance, if it's all right with you, no offence meant. ~ Terry Pratchett
Piper quotes by Terry Pratchett
I think that you love who you love, and there are people who you love that people aren't going to understand why, and that sort of doesn't really matter. ~ Piper Perabo
Piper quotes by Piper Perabo
When there is no accountability ... there will be no accountability. ~ Steffan Piper
Piper quotes by Steffan Piper
Melancholy isn't a sign of the book's end; it is its inspiration. Melancholy is reading's muse. ~ Andrew Piper
Piper quotes by Andrew Piper
Do you feel loved by God because you believe he makes much of you, or because you believe he frees you and empowers you to enjoy making much of him? ~ John Piper
Piper quotes by John Piper
There was supposed to be grief when someone died, tears and heartfelt eulogies, the cutting pain of loss. Instead, he felt…nothing. Just numbness, an absolute void of emotion. ~ Piper Vaughn
Piper quotes by Piper Vaughn
The world is not impressed when Christians get rich and say thanks to God. It is impressed when God is so satisfying that we give our riches away for Christ's sake and count it gain. John Piper ~ Ryan J. Murphy
Piper quotes by Ryan J. Murphy
No one had much faith in me because I was so young. They imagined a little brat with a flash-in-the-pan single. It was inevitable ... Thankfully, I proved people wrong. ~ Billie Piper
Piper quotes by Billie Piper
In order for prisons to truly serve the public, the people who run them would do well to aspire to the words of Thomas Mott Osborne, the storied warden of New York's Sing Sing Prison in the early part of the twentieth century, who vowed, 'We will turn this prison from a scrap heap into a repair shop. ~ Piper Kerman
Piper quotes by Piper Kerman
There's nothing more intoxicating than creating something from nothing. Creating something from yourself. Professor Piper ~ Rainbow Rowell
Piper quotes by Rainbow Rowell
Let us labor to memorize the Word of God
for worship and for warfare. If we do not carry it in our heads, we cannot savor it in our hearts or wield it in the Spirit. ~ John Piper
Piper quotes by John Piper
Maybe that's all real love was--just something that happened quickly and vanished, a kind of gesture to a stranger or a fleeting moment of passion. ~ Steffan Piper
Piper quotes by Steffan Piper
Out of the freedom from worry that God's generosity provides comes an impulse toward simplicity rather than accumulation. ~ John Piper
Piper quotes by John Piper
Spiritual leadership is knowing where God wants people to be and taking the initiative to get them there by God's means in reliance on God's power. ~ John Piper
Piper quotes by John Piper
Well, hope for your thrilling career - but remember that if there is to be drama in your life somebody must pay the piper in the coin of suffering. If not you - then someone else. ~ L.M. Montgomery
Piper quotes by L.M. Montgomery
Oh, here he comes now, the May West of pro-wrestling. ~ Roddy Piper
Piper quotes by Roddy Piper
You could worship loudly and still act pretty lousy. ~ Piper Kerman
Piper quotes by Piper Kerman
What I object to is the way you're raiding the Sword-Worlds."

"You're crazy!" Basil Gorram exploded.

"Young man," Harkaman reproved, "the conversation was between Lord Trask and myself. And when somebody makes a statement you don't understand, don't tell him he's crazy. Ask him what he means. What do you mean, Lord Trask? ~ H. Beam Piper
Piper quotes by H. Beam Piper
Instead, our system of "corrections" is about arm's-length revenge and retribution, all day and all night. Then its overseers wonder why people leave prison more broken than when they went in. V ~ Piper Kerman
Piper quotes by Piper Kerman
The ultimate purpose of life is to show that Jesus is more precious than life. ~ John Piper
Piper quotes by John Piper
Are you able - theologically, personally, and resource-wise - to be harmoniously, sweetly, and deeply in love with Jesus together in marriage? ~ John Piper
Piper quotes by John Piper
Piper gripped his hand and followed him, "If I fall, you're catching me." "Uh, sure." Jason hoped he wasn't blushing.
Leo stepped out next. "You're catching me, too, Superman. But I ain't holding your hand. ~ Rick Riordan
Piper quotes by Rick Riordan
silent. Walter had been reading again that day in his beloved book of myths and he remembered how he had once fancied the Pied Piper coming down the valley on an evening ~ L.M. Montgomery
Piper quotes by L.M. Montgomery
I know God's voice. I've seen God's hand. If the Lord is my helper, why should I be afraid? ~ John Piper
Piper quotes by John Piper
An eye for beauty instead of bleakness might have lightened some of his load. ~ John Piper
Piper quotes by John Piper
Even when you think things can never move forward and you feel so low, there's always a way out. ~ Katie Piper
Piper quotes by Katie Piper
Grace studied her hands as they moved across the meat. They looked much like any others the same age - veined, lined, the backs stained with tea-coloured spots. But they'd felt their way through the past seventy years in unique ways. Much of their work had been to the benefit of others, some not. She'd known them as still, listening hands, but also as hands that moved with urgency and madness. For a while they'd been careful nurse's hands. Then hands that cradled three babies and clapped, tickled and taught in turn. She'd bruised, burnt and cut them; some scars suggested badly. They'd dismissed, beckoned, pleaded over the years, and not always successfully. Their goodbyes were too many to recall. ~ Sally Piper
Piper quotes by Sally Piper
The one God has chosen unconditionally he keeps invincibly. Being and staying a believer is decisively of sovereign grace. ~ John Piper
Piper quotes by John Piper
CHRISTIAN LIVING MOVES from what God has freely done for us in Christ to what we should freely do for others. ~ John Piper
Piper quotes by John Piper
I don't need to know how tough I am to know how tough I am. ~ Roddy Piper
Piper quotes by Roddy Piper
I'm Detective Piper of the Fairyland Metro Police, and I've been called in to investigate the incident of the missing frog prince ... ~ A.F. Stewart
Piper quotes by A.F. Stewart
Piper directed me into downtown Los Angeles.
I considered this a bad sign. "Downtown Los Angeles" had always struck me as an oxymoron, like "hot ice cream" or "military intelligence". (Yes, Ares, that was an insult.) ~ Rick Riordan
Piper quotes by Rick Riordan
You get one pass at life. That's all. Only one. And the lasting measure of that life is Jesus Christ. ~ John Piper
Piper quotes by John Piper
You will leave all your material wealth behind, but a wealth of knowledge goes with you. ~ John Piper
Piper quotes by John Piper
That's perhaps the biggest miracle: People prayed and God honored their prayers.
As ~ Don Piper
Piper quotes by Don Piper
We have brought nothing into the world, so we cannot take anything out of it either.' There are no U-Hauls behind hearses. ~ John Piper
Piper quotes by John Piper
Pastors and missionaries (need) to know God and to find in him a Treasure more satisfying than any other person or thing or relationship or experience or accomplishment in the world. ~ John Piper
Piper quotes by John Piper
Hello, Not-There, Piper said. Not-There was her private name for God just lately. Earlier in the fall it had been The Great Maybe. During the summer, it had been The Omnipotent Could-Be. ~ Stephen King
Piper quotes by Stephen King
Things will never get better if you believe they won't ~ Katie Piper
Piper quotes by Katie Piper
And yes, we broke up.' Grover bleated, 'really? But I heard - I thought -'
'You thought what?' Piper's voice remained calm and even. 'That we'd be together forever like Percy and Annabeth?' (...) 'Things change. People change. Jason and me - we started out oddly. Hera kind of messed with our heads, made us think we shared a past we didn't share. ~ Rick Riordan
Piper quotes by Rick Riordan
Okay, get out of here. Scram. Farewell," Piper said as more of the wall moved uneasily, the uppermost surface shifting dustily to the floor. "Go be short somewhere else. ~ Maggie Stiefvater
Piper quotes by Maggie Stiefvater
Being persuaded that Christ and his promises are factual is not by itself saving faith. That is why some professing Christians will be shocked at the last day, when they hear him say, "I never knew you,' even though they protest that he is "Lord, Lord." Believing that Christ and his promises are true, based on a testimony, is a necessary part of faith. But it is not sufficient to turn faith into saving faith. ~ John Piper
Piper quotes by John Piper
. . . the only legitimate reason that kingship is not attractive to us is because in this age and this world the only kings available are finite and sinful. Listen to C. S. Lewis describe why he believes in democracy:

A great deal of democratic enthusiasm descends from the ideas of people like Rousseau, who believed in democracy because they thought mankind so wise and good that everyone deserved a share in the government. The danger of defending democracy on those grounds is that they're not true. . . I find that they're not true without looking further than myself. I don't deserve a share in governing a hen-roost, much less a nation. . . . The real reason for democracy is . . . Mankind is so fallen that no man can be trusted with unchecked power over his fellows. Aristotle said that some people were only fit to be slaves. I do not contradict him. But I reject slavery because I see no men fit to be masters.1

If there could be a king who is not limited in his wisdom and power and goodness and love for his subjects, then monarchy would be the best of all governments. If such a ruler could ever rise in the world - with no weakness, no folly, no sin - then no wise and humble person would ever want democracy again.

The question is not whether God broke into the universe as a king. He did. The question is: What kind of king is he? What difference would his kingship make for you? ~ John Piper
Piper quotes by John Piper
Just when you think you know the answers, I change the questions. ~ Roddy Piper
Piper quotes by Roddy Piper
Sometimes what we need from the Bible is not the fulfillment of our dream, but the swallowing up of our failed dream in the all-satisfying glory of Christ. We do not always know the path of deepest joy. ~ John Piper
Piper quotes by John Piper
We will never stand in awe of being loved by God until we reckon with the seriousness of our sin and the justice of his wrath against us. But when, by grace, we waken to our unworthiness, then we may look at the suffering and death of Christ and say, "In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the [wrath-absorbing] propitiation for our sins" (1 John 4:10). ~ John Piper
Piper quotes by John Piper
By nature, we get more pleasure from God's gifts then from Himself. ~ John Piper
Piper quotes by John Piper
Sanctification in any area of our lives always expresses this double dimension - a putting off and a putting on, as it were. Speech and silence, appropriately expressed, are together the mark of the mature.3 ~ John Piper
Piper quotes by John Piper
The one thing God is doing in all of redemptive history is to show forth his mercy in such a way that the greatest number of people will throughout eternity delight in him with all their heart, strength, and mind. ~ John Piper
Piper quotes by John Piper
Let me tell you who I am: I'm a girl from New Jersey who moved to New York and worked in a bar while trying to make a living at what I really wanted to do, which was act. ~ Piper Perabo
Piper quotes by Piper Perabo
But not only does the pursuit of joy in God give strength to endure; it is the key to breaking the power of sin on our way to heaven. ~ John Piper
Piper quotes by John Piper
But at school, I wasn't athletic, and if you're not athlete in high school, it's kind of hard to find your place, so play practice seemed perfect, especially if you were as uncoordinated as I was. ~ Piper Perabo
Piper quotes by Piper Perabo
Ric Flair, you once called me a woman. Well, what I want to know is, how does it feel to get beat by a woman? ~ Roddy Piper
Piper quotes by Roddy Piper
Apparently, on New Texas, killing a politician was not malum in se, and was mallum prohibitorum only to the extent that what happened to the politician was in excess of what he deserved. ~ H. Beam Piper
Piper quotes by H. Beam Piper
Setting aside the puppet shows, the only thing that matters is who will be ruling, who will have the keys to the cash register, and how they're going to split up other people's money among themselves. On their way to the booty they'll spruce everything up, which is badly needed. New Scoundrels will appear, new leaders, and a whole choir of jnnocents with no memory will come out into the streets, ready to believe whatever they want or need to believe. They'll follow whichever Pied Piper flatters them most and promises them some shotty paradise... This is what it is... with its highs and lows, and it's only as good as it gets, which is better than nothing. There are those who see it coming and go far away... And there are those of us who stay with our feet stuck in the mud, because anyhow we don't have anywhere better to go. But don't worry about the circus. We've now come to the clown acts, and the trapeze artists will take a while to arrive. ~ Carlos Ruiz Zafon
Piper quotes by Carlos Ruiz Zafon
Love is doing what will enthrall the beloved with the greatest and longest joy. What will enthrall the beloved this way is the glory of God. Love means doing all we can, at whatever cost to ourselves, to help people be enthralled with the glory of God. When they are, they are satisfied and God is glorified. Therefore loving people and glorifying God are one. ~ John Piper
Piper quotes by John Piper
This assumes that the glory of Christ is our highest treasure, not health, wealth, family or even life. So preaching must continually show not that Jesus is the means to prosperity but that he is better than prosperity. ~ John Piper
Piper quotes by John Piper
There's not enough money in the world to get me singing 'Because We Want To' again. I wouldn't do it. I think Beyonce Knowles got a couple of million for a private show but I would be happy to turn it down. ~ Billie Piper
Piper quotes by Billie Piper
For in the end, it is not Edwards or Piper or any other man who compels true faith, but God himself. ~ John Piper
Piper quotes by John Piper
He came to destroy sin because it is fatal. ~ John Piper
Piper quotes by John Piper
We do not know ourselves aright,
Until we have the Father's light.
We think we know ourselves and groan,
Until we know as we are known ~ John Piper
Piper quotes by John Piper
Abstraction is the way to the heart - it is not the heart itself. ~ John Piper
Piper quotes by John Piper
Why do I have you in my bed, when I'm not allowed to touch you? ~ Piper Shelly
Piper quotes by Piper Shelly
But Paulie gives all of herself away, and so to create a love like that and a person who would give themselves away was what I thought was going to be difficult. I was little scared of such a challenge. ~ Piper Perabo
Piper quotes by Piper Perabo
Therefore everything that you enjoy in Christ - as a Christian, as a person who trusts Christ - is owing to the death of Christ. ~ John Piper
Piper quotes by John Piper
Have you ever wondered what it feels like to have a love for the lost? This is a term we use as part of our Christian jargon. Many believers search their hearts in condemnation, looking for the arrival of some feeling of benevolence that will propel them into bold evangelism. It will never happen. It is impossible to love "the lost". You can't feel deeply for an abstraction or a concept. You would find it impossible to love deeply an unfamiliar individual portrayed in a photograph, let alone a nation or a race or something as vague as "all lost people".
Don't wait for a feeling or love in order to share Christ with a stranger. You already love your heavenly Father, and you know that this stranger is created by Him, but separated from Him, so take those first steps in evangelism because you love God. It is not primarily out of compassion for humanity that we share our faith or pray for the lost; it is first of all, love for God. ~ John Piper
Piper quotes by John Piper
The hardened disobedience of men's hearts leads not to the frustration of God's plans, but to their fruition. ~ John Piper
Piper quotes by John Piper
