Christian people should surely have been in the vanguard of the movement for environmental responsibility, because of our doctrines of creation and stewardship. Did God make the world? Does he sustain it? Has he committed its resources to our care? His personal concern for his own creation should be sufficient to inspire us to be equally concerned.

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

We must be global Christians with a global vision because our God is a global God.
John Stott
Image
Faith is a reasoning trust, a trust which reckons thoughtfully and confidently upon the trustworthiness of God.

A deaf church is a dead church: that is an unalterable principle.
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
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
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
It is a great comfort to know that our judge will be none other than our savior.
John Stott
Image
We have the means of evangelizing our country, but they are slumbering in the pews of our churches.
John Stott
Image
A Christian should resemble a fruit tree with real fruit, not a Christmas tree with decorations tied on
John Stott
Image
The law requires works of human achievement the gospel requires faith in Christ's achievement. The law makes demands and bids us obey the gospel brings promises and bids us believe.
John Stott
Image
The chief occupational hazard of leadership is pride.
John Stott
Image
At the cross in holy love God through Christ paid the full penalty of our disobedience himself.
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.

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
