I am thankful for the teaching of John Piper, the ministry of the staff at DG and, above all, the power of the Word of God. Thank you for making the Web site a safe and nourishing spot to dwell in on the Internet. Many a day I have been challenged, encouraged and taught about who God is and what he wants me to do from something I've read or heard on this site.

DG provides the most thurough, accessible, scripture-grounded and God-glorifying resources I've yet to find. The posting of new audio sermons is eagerly awaited each week by myself and dozens of other university students here in Texas. The preaching is a rare combination of hard, convicting truth and glorious, enduring hope that brings the Word beyond the mind and into the heart...such teaching is dissappointingly rare but greatly treasured. The fruits of the ministry, even hundreds of miles away, are deep and strong in compelling men to holiness and desire for exaltation of The One who alone is worth living and dying for. Thank you for your commitment to this ministry.

I have really been encouraged over the past 2 years by John's sermons which I have listened to on RA and now MP3. I also have purchased tapes, books and memory cards. I appreciate the audio sermons being available in MP3 format. I have made occasional donations specifically because of the availability of materials on-line. So I hope that you are able to continue that ministry.

The site allows me to keep my hand gripped around the fresh-water faucet of God-centered, Bible-saturated exposition and teaching... I especially recommend this website as a serious-minded means of keeping our compass dead set on God-centered eating, drinking, sleeping and breathing.

There are innumerable ways in which I could tell you I and others I know have been blessed, encouraged, and convicted by the materials on your website. Your audio sermons have been a encouragement and sustenance for multiple students down here. Thank you so much for making those available on the website. Further, I particularly benefit from the Topic Index. I have read probably 100 of them and really enjoy them. The passion that I hear in Dr. Piper's preaching, and the humility in his demeanor, is something that I have learned so much from. Thank you. The impact that you have had on my theology, lifestyle, and mission-mindedness has been invaluable. As I share your ministry with others via distributing audio sermons, articles, and referring to your website, I pray that God will continue to refresh and strengthen you to perform His great tasks.

The Lord has used brother John's ministry to strengthen and encourage me. I just finished reading "The Misery of Job and the Mercy of God" and was refreshed by it (as I expected to be). I am sending it on to a good friend who has advanced ovarian cancer for her encouragement. Thank you for making so many of these resources available online. I'm working on an article right now on the sufficiency of God and am throughly enjoying the new search capabilities of your website. What treasures through which to dig! ...I wanted to offer commendation for "Future Grace". Of all brother John's books I have read, this is probably the most unsung in popular Christian circles, but it provides penetrating insight into grace that I haven't found anywhere else - including Jonathan Edwards.

Thanks so much for the encouragement this web site has been, specifically, the audio sermons. I was in Hong Kong for six months, two years ago. And I can honestly say that God used the sermons that I listened to while doing mission work over there...

I just found out about your website yesterday! I am ecstatic at the info on your site!!

This website has potential to have a huge impact - My Pastor and Church in India are now able to read and benefit from Piper's material. This would not be possible in any other way because of the extremely restrictive cost of Christian books in India. Thank you.

I am writing to y'all just to let you know how much I appreciate your ministry. Thanks for publishing John Piper's notes and audio messages through the internet. Web pages such as "desiringGod" and "soundofgrace" are always an oasis in the midst of such a "desert" place as the internet is. May the Lord keep you close to Himself, to His Word, and to His Work in this World for His glory, edifying His people and reaching out to the lost.

I just want to say thank you ... to the staff, and John Piper for making this ministry available to the hungry in Spirit. It was ... by listening to John each night, that I acquired a deep thirst for more understanding of the scriptures. I started to taste the meat of the scriptures through your ministry. Thank you so very much.

I want to take the opportunity and thank you for your ministry. For several months I have been reading the electronic Pipersermons and some articles and books I downloaded from your web site. This and some material from bible.org and from J.I. Packer helped me to grasp (at least in a much better way than before) the doctrine of the sovereignty of God. Desiring God was an eye-opener for me and it has a strong influence on my own preaching and teaching ministry in our local church in Vienna, Austria. It also changed my view of the importance of frontier missions.

How the enemy was accusing me of recent sins, failures, unworthiness to testify to God's saving and delivering power. God led me to look up 'grace' in your new web site and somehow led me to a sermon on the imputed righteousness of Christ--that righteousness that is mine this morning (and forever). Jesus Christ is standing before the Father in heaven this morning and He is all my righteousness. What utter joy to look away from myself and go forth in peace and security--and power--to proclaim this very truth from Romans. Tears of joy run down my face today. Thank you, thank you, thank you for allowing the Holy Spirit to reveal my Lord to me this morning. How beautiful and glorious He is!!!

I just wanted to let you know that this has to be the most edifying site I have been to. Learning to seek all of my joy in Christ is what I will spend the rest of my days doing. Thank you so much for your support. Great is your reward in heaven.

I just wanted to tell you how much I thank God for your ministry and for the inspiration that Piper's material provides for me here in Germany. [If] Piper's "passion for the supremacy of God in all things" has challenged my former view of God, then it was a good struggle [that] I had to go through that helped me to read the Bible for all it's worth... And I now feel I've arrived at savoring what I formerly considered "hard truths" like election, predestination and God's own passion for His glory.

I will no longer have this email address to receive Dr. Piper’s sermons or Freshwords articles as I am leaving the job where I have been receiving them. I did want to express, however, what a blessing they have been this past year. A little over a year ago I developed a great love for the gospel as so wonderfully spelled out in the Reformed tradition and Dr. Piper’s writing has furthered its effect in my life. I look forward to getting a computer for my home so I can re-subscribe. Thanks again!

Thank you so much for the "Don't Waste Your Life" website and all of your available resources on the desiring God website.

I am so grateful.

I am a police officer and on my breaks I go to these two websites for encouragement. Two of my children ages 6 and 10 now ask me to pray for them that they would not waste their lives because they want to live for Jesus. What joy is put in my heart when I hear those words come out of their little mouths! Thank you very much Desiring God staff and John Piper. It is my prayer that the Lord would sustain you all and that you would live your lives for the Glory of the Risen Christ.

I just want to thank Desiring God for the excellent website that you all have provided. It has been a wonderful resource for me and my wife. I am an adult Sunday School teacher and use the materials in teaching each Sunday. We have used the resources to witness in our neighborhood and community in general. The excellent web interface is so easy to use and the availability of resources that you provide is outstanding. We do send support frequently and will send more. Thank you again.
