There is no biblical Christianity without the cross at its center.
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

Christians believe that true worship is the highest and noblest activity of which man, by the grace of God, is capable.
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
There is something inherently inappropriate about cherishing small ambitions for God.
John Stott
Image
An unchurched christian is a grotesque anomaly. The New Testament knows nothing of such a person. For the church lies at the very center of the eternal purpose of God. It is not a divine afterthought. It is not an accident of history. On the contrary, the church is God's new community.
John Stott

John Stott
Image
We must be global Christians with a global vision because our God is a global God.
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
Saving faith is resting faith, the trust which relies entirely on the Savior.
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.
John Stott
Image
Instead of inflicting upon us the judgment we deserved, God in Christ endured it in our place.
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.
John Stott
Image
God condemned sin in Christ, so that holiness might appear in us.

The Christian's chief occupational hazards are depression and discouragement.
