A deaf church is a dead church: that is an unalterable principle.
John Stott
Image
The chief reason why the Christian believes in the divine origin of the Bible is that Jesus Christ Himself taught it.
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.'

The chief occupational hazard of leadership is pride.
John Stott
Image
Every time we look at the cross Christ seems to say to us, 'I am here because of you. It is your sin I am bearing, your curse I am suffering, your debt I am paying, your death I am dying.' Nothing in history or in the universe cuts us down to size like the cross.

All worship is an intelligent and loving response to the revelation of God, because it is the adoration of His name.
John Stott
Image
Indignation and compassion form a powerful combination. They are indispensable to vision, and therefore to leadership.
John Stott
Image
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.

We have the means of evangelizing our country, but they are slumbering in the pews of our churches.

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
Although we have responsibilities to others, we are primarily accountable to God. It is before him that we stand, and to him that one day we must give an account. We should not therefore rate human opinion too highly.
John Stott
Image
At the cross in holy love God through Christ paid the full penalty of our disobedience himself.
John Stott
Image
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.
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 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.

God continues to speak through what He has spoken.
John Stott
Image
Our love grows soft if it is not strengthened by truth, and our truth grows hard if it is not softened by love.
John Stott
Image
Grace is love that cares and stoops and rescues.
John Stott
Image
Truth without love is too hard love without truth is too soft.

Persecution is simply the clash between two irreconcilable value-systems.
