But whatever you do, find the God-centered, Christ-exalting, Bible-saturated passion of your life, and find your way to say it and live for it and die for it. And you will make a difference that lasts. You will not waste your life.

Christian, Inspiration, Passion

God created me—and you—to live with a single, all-embracing, all-transforming passion—namely, a passion to glorify God by enjoying and displaying his supreme excellence in all the spheres of life.

Don't coast through life without a passion.

Passion, Coast, Waste Of Life

John Piper (2003). “Don't Waste Your Life”, Crossway

Desire that your life count for something great! Long for your life to have eternal significance. Want this! Don’t coast through life without a passion.

Passion, Long, Christian Inspirational

God created us to live with a single passion: to joyfully display his supreme excellence in all spheres of life. The wasted life is the life without this passion. God calls us to pray and think and dream and plan and work, not to be made much of, but to make much of him in every part of our lives.

Dream, Passion, Thinking

John Piper (2003). “Don't Waste Your Life”, Crossway

It was becoming clearer and clearer that if I wanted to come to the end of my life and not say, “I’ve wasted it!” then I would need to press all the way in, and all the way up, to the ultimate purpose of God and join him in it. If my life was to have a single, all-satisfying, unifying passion, it would have to be God’s passion.

Christian, Inspiration, Passion

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

Passion, Missionary, Weak

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

If my life was to have a single, all-satisfying, unifying passion, it would have to be God's passion.

Passion, Unifying, Satisfying

John Piper (2003). “Don't Waste Your Life”, Crossway

God is pursuing with omnipotent passion a worldwide purpose of gathering joyful worshipers for Himself from every tribe and tongue and people and nation. He has an inexhaustible enthusiasm for the supremacy of His name among the nations. Therefore, let us bring our affections into line with His, and, for the sake of His name, let us renounce the quest for worldly comforts and join His global purpose.

Passion, Names, People

John Piper (2010). “Let the Nations Be Glad!: The Supremacy of God in Missions”, p.62, Baker Academic

When you are deeply peaceful and confident that, because of Christ, God will bring you safely to his eternal kingdom and be the all-satisfying Treasure of your life forever, then you are free to see the truth, and love the truth, and speak the truth no matter what, and joyfully spread a passion for the truth whose name is Jesus.

Jesus, Passion, Names

John Piper (2013). “Think”, p.108, SPCK

There will be no passion to draw others into our worship where there is no passion for worship.

Passion, Worship, Draws

John Piper (2010). “Let the Nations Be Glad!: The Supremacy of God in Missions”, p.62, Baker Academic

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.

Dream, Passion, Reality

Christ did not die to make good works merely possible or to produce a half-hearted pursuit. He died to produce in us a passion for good deeds. Christian purity is not the mere avoidance of evil, but the pursuit of good.

Christian, Passion, Evil

The root cause of abortion is the failure to be satisfied in God as our supreme love. And, for all the great legal work that needs to be done to protect human life, the greatest work that needs to be done is to spread a passion - a satisfaction for the supremacy of God in all things. That's our calling.

Passion, Roots, Abortion

Life and death! They seem like complete opposites-at great enmity with each other. But for Paul-and for all who share his faith-there is a unity, because the same great passion is fulfilled in both-namely, that Christ be magnified in this body-our bodies-whether by life or by death.

Passion, Opposites, Life And Death

John Piper (2003). “Don't Waste Your Life”, Crossway

Exultation that does not flow from education, affections that do not flow from knowing, savoring that does not flow from seeing, feeling that does not flow from thinking - are hollow and rootless - noisy gongs and clanging cymbals. And God is not glorified by artificial and empty passions. True delight is rooted in true doctrine. God-centered exultation is rooted in God-centered education.

Passion, Thinking, Knowing

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.

Passion, Mean, Would Be
