John Piper Miss Quotations

Where passion for God is weak, zeal for missions will be weak.

One of the great uses of Twitter and Facebook will be to prove at the Last Day that prayerlessness was not from lack of time.

Worship is ultimate, not missions. Because God is ultimate, not man.

Mission exists because worship doesn't.

Missions is the overflow of our delight in God because missions is the overflow of God's delight in being God.

A God-centered theology has to be a missionary theology

God has an inexhaustible enthusiasm for the supremacy of His name among the nations.

Zeal for the glory of God motivates world missions

I am not a missionary, but I have wanted my life to count for the unreached peoples of the world.

The chief end of missions is the supremacy of God in the joy of all peoples.

The goal of missions is the gladness of the peoples in the greatness of God.

Go, send, or disobey.

We are all responsible to Jesus first, and then, under him, to various other persons and offices. Discerning the path of love and obedience when two or more of these submissive relationships collide is a call to humble, Bible-saturated, spiritual wisdom.
