1 week ago | desiringgod.org | John Piper

If God has already promised not to withhold anything good from us, then does asking him for more imply that yesterday’s good wasn’t good enough?
He Dared to Ride a Donkey: The Prophetic Riddle of Palm Sunday

1 week ago | desiringgod.org | David Mathis

Jesus dared to ride a donkey into Jerusalem. We might be so familiar with Palm Sunday that we overlook what an audacious move this was. Don’t let the palm branches distract you. The point of the greenery is the man lifted up on the back of the beast. Along with clearing the temple with a whip, this was one of the most provocative steps Jesus took on the road to Calvary. All four Gospels make clear that riding the donkey was Jesus’s own idea (Matthew 21:1–2; Mark 11:1–2; Luke 19:29–30; John 12:14).
Fight for Faith! Take Hold of Life! 1 Timothy 6:11–12, Part 2

1 week ago | desiringgod.org | John Piper

What is Look at the Book? You look at a Bible text on the screen. You listen to John Piper. You watch his pen “draw out” meaning. You see for yourself whether the meaning is really there. And (we pray!) all that God is for you in Christ explodes with faith, and joy, and love.
How Can I Grow in Humility as I Grow in Knowledge?

2 weeks ago | desiringgod.org | John Piper

Audio TranscriptYou know that tension Paul talks about in 1 Corinthians — “Love builds up, but knowledge puffs up” (see 1 Corinthians 8:1)? It’s quite the dilemma, isn’t it? I mean, how do you grow in knowledge without growing in pride? Growing in knowledge without growing in pride is something that’s been on your mind for years, hasn’t it, Pastor John?
The Glory of Big-God Preaching

2 weeks ago | desiringgod.org | John Piper

Let me begin by putting the theme of this conference, “Big-God Preaching,” in a cultural and historical context that may be surprising, but I think will be helpful in liberating you from a certain fear or hesitancy to give yourself to big-God preaching.

What Jordan Peterson Gets Wrong About Happiness

3 weeks ago | desiringgod.org | John Piper

Audio TranscriptWe try to keep things uncontroversial on APJ as much as possible. We don’t wake up looking for a new controversy to chase after — but from time to time a new controversy wakes up and decides to chase after us. It’s an occupational hazard when you talk so often about how to find happiness, I suppose. And so, today we’re diving into a debate that kicked off around Jordan Peterson, the popular YouTuber and speaker.
God of Holy Laughter

3 weeks ago | desiringgod.org | David Mathis

You can hear it in the sunrise. You sense it in the majesty of the mountains. You find it in the ceaseless gurgling of a stream, or the continuous crash of a waterfall. And if you have ears to hear, you catch it in the cries of the wicked, ensnared in their own devices. And you perceive it in the praises of the righteous, rejoicing in their Redeemer and his perfectly timed rescue. It’s the laughter of God. Yes, he laughs. Oh, how he does. “He who sits in the heavens laughs” (Psalm 2:4).
