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.

Good conduct arises out of good doctrine.

Prayer is the very way God Himself has chosen for us to express our conscious need of Him and our humble dependence on Him.
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.

So, because in no other person but Jesus of Nazareth did God first become human (in his birth), then bear our sins (in his death), then conquer death (in his resurrection) and then enter his people (by his Spirit), he is uniquely able to save sinners. Nobody else has his qualifications.

We have the means of evangelizing our country, but they are slumbering in the pews of our churches.

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
The hallmark of an authentic evangelicalism is not the uncritical repetition of old traditions but the willingness to submit every tradition, however ancient, to fresh biblical scrutiny and, if necessary, reform.
John Stott
Image
Saving faith is resting faith, the trust which relies entirely on the Savior.
John Stott
Image
All worship is an intelligent and loving response to the revelation of God, because it is the adoration of His name.
John Stott
Image
Grace is God loving, God stooping, God coming to the rescue, God giving himself generously in and through Jesus Christ.

A Christian should resemble a fruit tree with real fruit, not a Christmas tree with decorations tied on
John Stott
Image
Christians believe that true worship is the highest and noblest activity of which man, by the grace of God, is capable.

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

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

Never use a gallon of words to express a spoonful of thought. Our unadorned word should be enough.

The cross is not just a badge to identify us...it is also the compass which gives us our bearings in a disoriented world.
