More quotes by 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
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
A gift is acceptable according to what the giver has, not according to what he has not.
John Stott
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.
John Stott
If God speaks to us about himself and his own glorious greatness, we respond by humbling ourselves before him in worship... If He speaks to us about His commandments, we determine to obey them.
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
Simplicity is the first cousin of contentment.
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
The truth is that there are such things as Christian tears, and too few of us ever weep them.
John Stott
God condemned sin in Christ, so that holiness might appear in us.
John Stott
Apathy is the acceptance of the unacceptable.
John Stott
The chief reason why the Christian believes in the divine origin of the Bible is that Jesus Christ Himself taught it.
John Stott
Good conduct arises out of good doctrine.
John Stott
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
A deaf church is a dead church: that is an unalterable principle.
John Stott
The church is under orders. Evangelistic inactivity is disobedience.
John Stott
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
We are to be strong in faith, and soft in love.
John Stott
Christians believe that true worship is the highest and noblest activity of which man, by the grace of God, is capable.
John Stott
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
