More quotes by 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 church is under orders. Evangelistic inactivity is disobedience.
John Stott
God does not love us because Christ died for us Christ died for us because God loved us.
John Stott
A gift is acceptable according to what the giver has, not according to what he has not.
John Stott
Every time we look at the cross Christ seems to say to us, 'I am here because of you. It is your sin I am bearing, your curse I am suffering, your debt I am paying, your death I am dying.' Nothing in history or in the universe cuts us down to size like the cross.
John Stott
At every step of our Christian development and in every sphere of our Christian discipleship, pride is the greatest enemy and humility our greatest friend.
John Stott
There is no biblical Christianity without the cross at its center.
John Stott
It is a great comfort to know that our judge will be none other than our savior.
John Stott
There is something inherently inappropriate about cherishing small ambitions for God.
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
What we need is not more learning, not more eloquence, not more persuasion, not more organization, but more power from the Holy Spirit.
John Stott
Never use a gallon of words to express a spoonful of thought. Our unadorned word should be enough.
John Stott
Many (Christians) have zeal without knowledge, enthusiasm without enlightenment. In more modern jargon, they are keen but clueless.
John Stott
Indignation and compassion form a powerful combination. They are indispensable to vision, and therefore to leadership.
John Stott
Simplicity is the first cousin of contentment.
John Stott
Persecution is simply the clash between two irreconcilable value-systems.
John Stott
Good conduct arises out of good doctrine.
John Stott
Every powerful movement has had its philosophy which has gripped the mind, fired the imagination and captured the devotion of its adherents.
John Stott
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.
John Stott
Every Christian should be both conservative and radical conservative in preserving the faith and radical in applying it.
