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.
John Stott
Image
The truth is that there are such things as Christian tears, and too few of us ever weep them.
John Stott
Image
There is something inherently inappropriate about cherishing small ambitions for God.
John Stott
Image
The gospel creates the church, which spreads the gospel, which creates more churches, which in turn spread the gospel further ad infinitum.
John Stott
Image
Persecution is simply the clash between two irreconcilable value-systems.
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
It is a great comfort to know that our judge will be none other than our savior.
John Stott
Image
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

The church lies at the very center of the eternal purpose of God. It is not a divine afterthought.
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
Image
Indignation and compassion form a powerful combination. They are indispensable to vision, and therefore to leadership.
John Stott
Image
It is no exaggeration to say that without Scripture a Christian life is impossible.
John Stott
Image
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
The purpose of prayer is emphatically not to bend God's will to ours, but rather to align our will to his.
John Stott
Image
Social responsibility becomes an aspect not of Christian mission only, but also of Christian conversion. It is impossible to be truly converted to God without being thereby converted to our neighbor.
John Stott
Image
A deaf church is a dead church: that is an unalterable principle.
John Stott
Image
We have the means of evangelizing our country, but they are slumbering in the pews of our churches.
John Stott
Image
At the cross in holy love God through Christ paid the full penalty of our disobedience himself.
