quotes

These are quotes from the book "When I Don't Desire God: How to Fight for Joy" by John Piper. I love this book, even though I've only read the first two chapters. I definitely recommend it. :)

"Pursuing joy in God is a way of honoring God."


"Only God can make the depraved heart desire God."

"Salvation is the awakening of a new taste for God, or it is nothing."

"Christ is to be cherished, not just chosen."

"When all the supports of human life and earthly happiness are taken away, God will be our delight, our joy. This experience is humanly impossible. No ordinary person can speak in truth like this. If God alone is enough to support joy when all else is lost, it is a miracle of grace."
