The modern world detests authority but worships relevance. Our Christian conviction is that the Bible has both authority and relevance, and that the secret of both is Jesus Christ

Faith is a reasoning trust, a trust which reckons thoughtfully and confidently upon the trustworthiness of God.

Baptism with water is the sign and seal of baptism with the Spirit, as much as it is of the forgiveness of sins. Water-baptism is the initiatory Christian rite, because Spirit-baptism is the initiatory Christian experience.

All worship is an intelligent and loving response to the revelation of God, because it is the adoration of His name.
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
The chief reason people do not know God is not because He hides from them but because they hide from Him.
John Stott
Image
Sin and the child of God are incompatible. They may occasionally meet they cannot live together in harmony
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
It is no exaggeration to say that without Scripture a Christian life is impossible.

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

Christians who neglect the Bible simply do not mature.
