More quotes by John Stott
Word and worship belong indissolubly to each other. All worship is an intelligent and loving response to the revelation of God, because it is the adoration of His name. Therefore, acceptable worship is impossible without preaching. For preaching is making known the name of the Lord, and worship is praising the name of the Lord made known.
John Stott
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.
John Stott
At every step of our Christian development and in every sphere of our Christian discipleship, pride is the greatest enemy and humility our greatest friend.
John Stott

John Stott
Social responsibility becomes an aspect not of Christian mission only, but also of Christian conversion. It is impossible to be truly converted to God without being thereby converted to our neighbor.
John Stott
Indignation and compassion form a powerful combination. They are indispensable to vision, and therefore to leadership.
John Stott
A Christian should resemble a fruit tree with real fruit, not a Christmas tree with decorations tied on
John Stott
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

What we need is not more learning, not more eloquence, not more persuasion, not more organization, but more power from the Holy Spirit.
John Stott
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
We must be global Christians with a global vision because our God is a global God.
John Stott
Faith is a reasoning trust, a trust which reckons thoughtfully and confidently upon the trustworthiness of God.
John Stott
A man who loves his wife will love her letters and her photographs because they speak to him of her. So if we love the Lord Jesus, we shall love the Bible because it speaks to us of him.
John Stott
The church is under orders. Evangelistic inactivity is disobedience.
John Stott
Our Christian life began not with our decision to follow Christ but with God's call to us to do so.
John Stott
Persecution is simply the clash between two irreconcilable value-systems.
John Stott
Because in no other person but the historic Jesus of Nazareth has God become man and lived a human life on earth, died to bear the penalty of our sins, and been raised from death and exalted to glory, there is no other Savior, for there is no other person who is qualified to save.
