More quotes by John Stott
The church is under orders. Evangelistic inactivity is disobedience.
John Stott
The Christian's chief occupational hazards are depression and discouragement.
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
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
The chief occupational hazard of leadership is pride.
John Stott
God condemned sin in Christ, so that holiness might appear in us.
John Stott
There is no biblical Christianity without the cross at its center.
John Stott
...The first and great evidence of our walking by the Spirit or being filled with the Spirit is not some private mystical experience of our own, but our practical relationships of love with other people.
John Stott
Sin and the child of God are incompatible. They may occasionally meet they cannot live together in harmony
John Stott
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
Grace is God loving, God stooping, God coming to the rescue, God giving himself generously in and through Jesus Christ.
John Stott
Persecution is simply the clash between two irreconcilable value-systems.
John Stott
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
Christians who neglect the Bible simply do not mature.
John Stott
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
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
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
Simplicity is the first cousin of contentment.
John Stott
Good conduct arises out of good doctrine.
John Stott
A Christian should resemble a fruit tree with real fruit, not a Christmas tree with decorations tied on
