A gift is acceptable according to what the giver has, not according to what he has not.
John Stott
Image
Pride is more than the first of the seven deadly sins it is itself the essence of all sin.
John Stott
Image
I believe that to preach or to expound the scripture is to open up the inspired text with such faithfulness and sensitivity that God’s voice is heard and His people obey Him
John Stott
Image
God continues to speak through what He has spoken.
John Stott
Image
The cross is not just a badge to identify us...it is also the compass which gives us our bearings in a disoriented world.
John Stott
Image
Mission arises from the heart of God Himself and is communicated from His heart to ours. Mission is the global outreach of the global people of a global God.
John Stott
Image
The incentive to peacemaking is love, but it degenerates into appeasement whenever justice is ignored. To forgive and to ask for forgiveness are both costly exercises. All authentic Christian peacemaking exhibits the love and justice-and so the pain-of the cross.
John Stott
Image
We are to be strong in faith, and soft in love.
John Stott
Image
There is something inherently inappropriate about cherishing small ambitions for God.
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
If God speaks to us about himself and his own glorious greatness, we respond by humbling ourselves before him in worship... If He speaks to us about His commandments, we determine to obey them.

At the cross in holy love God through Christ paid the full penalty of our disobedience himself.
John Stott
Image
It is no exaggeration to say that without Scripture a Christian life is impossible.
John Stott
Image
Instead of inflicting upon us the judgment we deserved, God in Christ endured it in our place.
John Stott
Image
God sacrifices himself for man and puts himself where only man deserves to be.
John Stott
Image
Grace is God loving, God stooping, God coming to the rescue, God giving himself generously in and through Jesus Christ.
John Stott
Image
The law requires works of human achievement the gospel requires faith in Christ's achievement. The law makes demands and bids us obey the gospel brings promises and bids us believe.
John Stott
Image
At the cross in holy love God through Christ paid the full penalty of our disobedience himself. He bore the judgment we deserve in order to bring us the forgiveness we do not deserve. On the cross divine mercy and justice were equally expressed and eternally reconciled. God's holy love was 'satisfied.'
John Stott

A Christian should resemble a fruit tree with real fruit, not a Christmas tree with decorations tied on
John Stott
Image
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.
