John Piper Quotes

We Foolishly Assume That Our Real Struggles With Sin Are In The Areas Where We Are "weak." We Do Not Well Understand The Depth Of Sin Until We Realize That It Has Made Its Home Far More Subtly Where We Are "strong," And In Our Gifts Rather Than In Our Weaknesses And Inadequacies. It Is In The Very Giftedness God Has Given That Sin Has Been At Its Most Perverse And Subtle! But When We Are Brought To See This, Stripped Bare Of Our Layers Of Self-deceit, And Led To Repentance, Then God May Make Something Of Us.
