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
Every Christian should be both conservative and radical conservative in preserving the faith and radical in applying it.
John Stott
Image
A Christian should resemble a fruit tree with real fruit, not a Christmas tree with decorations tied on
John Stott
Image
In the real world of pain, how could one worship a God who was immune to it?
John Stott
Image
Truth without love is too hard love without truth is too soft.
John Stott
