More quotes by John Stott

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
God intends... our care of Creation to reflect our love for the Creator.
John Stott
Image
The Christian's chief occupational hazards are depression and discouragement.
John Stott
Image
It is impossible to pray for someone without loving him, and impossible to go on praying for him without discovering that our love for him grows and matures.
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.
John Stott
Image
Instead of inflicting upon us the judgment we deserved, God in Christ endured it in our place.
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
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.

Image
We have the means of evangelizing our country, but they are slumbering in the pews of our churches.
John Stott
Image
Prayer is not a convenient device for imposing our will upon God, or bending his will to ours, but the prescribed way of subordinating our will to his.
John Stott
Image
The major mark of justified believers is joy, especially joy in God himself. We should be the most positive people in the world. For the new community of Jesus Christ is characterized not by a self-centered triumphalism but by a God-centered worship.
John Stott
Image
The authority by which the Christian leader leads is not power but love, not force but example, not coercion but reasoned persuasion. Leaders have power, but power is safe only in the hands of those who humble themselves to serve.
John Stott
Image
Never use a gallon of words to express a spoonful of thought. Our unadorned word should be enough.
John Stott
Image
The chief occupational hazard of leadership is pride.
John Stott
Image
We are to be strong in faith, and soft in love.
John Stott
Image
Christian people should surely have been in the vanguard of the movement for environmental responsibility, because of our doctrines of creation and stewardship. Did God make the world? Does he sustain it? Has he committed its resources to our care? His personal concern for his own creation should be sufficient to inspire us to be equally concerned.

Good conduct arises out of good doctrine.
John Stott
Image
The church lies at the very center of the eternal purpose of God. It is not a divine afterthought.
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
We do not need to wait for the Holy Spirit to come: he came on the day of Pentecost. He has never left the church.
