Mission arises from the heart of God Himself and is communicated from His heart to ours. Mission is the global outreach of the global people of a global God.

Sin and the child of God are incompatible. They may occasionally meet they cannot live together in harmony
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
Our love grows soft if it is not strengthened by truth, and our truth grows hard if it is not softened by love.
John Stott
Image
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
Image
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.

God does not love us because Christ died for us Christ died for us because God loved us.
John Stott
Image
The church is under orders. Evangelistic inactivity is disobedience.
John Stott
Image
Moved by the perfection of His holy love, God in Christ substituted Himself for us sinners. That is the heart of the cross of Christ.
John Stott
Image
Good conduct arises out of good doctrine.
John Stott
Image
Every powerful movement has had its philosophy which has gripped the mind, fired the imagination and captured the devotion of its adherents.
John Stott
Image
The chief reason why the Christian believes in the divine origin of the Bible is that Jesus Christ Himself taught it.
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
It is no exaggeration to say that without Scripture a Christian life is impossible.
John Stott
Image
Many (Christians) have zeal without knowledge, enthusiasm without enlightenment. In more modern jargon, they are keen but clueless.

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