Simplicity is the first cousin of contentment.
John Stott

Christians who neglect the Bible simply do not mature.
John Stott

For the essence of sin is man substituting himself for God [Gen. 3:1-7], while the essence of salvation is God substituting himself for man [2 Cor. 5:21]. Man asserts himself against God and puts himself where only God deserves to be God sacrifices himself for man and puts himself where only man deserves to be.

An unchurched christian is a grotesque anomaly. The New Testament knows nothing of such a person. For the church lies at the very center of the eternal purpose of God. It is not a divine afterthought. It is not an accident of history. On the contrary, the church is God's new community.

A Christian's freedom from anxiety is not due to some guaranteed freedom from trouble, but to the folly of worry and especially to the confidence that God is our Father, that even permitted suffering is within the orbit of His care.
John Stott
Image
God condemned sin in Christ, so that holiness might appear in us.
John Stott
Image
Moved by the perfection of His holy love, God in Christ substituted Himself for us sinners. That is the heart of the cross of Christ.
John Stott
Image
All of us have inflated views of ourselves, especially in self-righteousn ess, until we have visited a place called Calvary. It is there, at the foot of the cross, that we shrink to our true size.
John Stott
Image
Truth without love is too hard love without truth is too soft.
John Stott
Image
The chief occupational hazard of leadership is pride.
John Stott
Image
Never use a gallon of words to express a spoonful of thought. Our unadorned word should be enough.
John Stott
Image
We must be global Christians with a global vision because our God is a global God.
John Stott
Image
We are sent into the world, like Jesus, to serve. For this is the natural expression of our love for our neighbors. We love. We go. We serve.
