Image
We are sent into the world, like Jesus, to serve. For this is the natural expression of our love for our neighbors. We love. We go. We serve.
John Stott
Image
At the cross in holy love God through Christ paid the full penalty of our disobedience himself. He bore the judgment we deserve in order to bring us the forgiveness we do not deserve. On the cross divine mercy and justice were equally expressed and eternally reconciled. God's holy love was 'satisfied.'
John Stott
Image
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.

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.

At the cross in holy love God through Christ paid the full penalty of our disobedience himself.

...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
Image
The church lies at the very center of the eternal purpose of God. It is not a divine afterthought.

A Christian should resemble a fruit tree with real fruit, not a Christmas tree with decorations tied on
John Stott
Image
God intends... our care of Creation to reflect our love for the Creator.
John Stott
Image
A Christian's freedom from anxiety is not due to some guaranteed freedom from trouble, but to the folly of worry and especially to the confidence that God is our Father, that even permitted suffering is within the orbit of His care.
John Stott
Image
God condemned sin in Christ, so that holiness might appear in us.
John Stott
Image
Saving faith is resting faith, the trust which relies entirely on the Savior.
John Stott
Image
Many (Christians) have zeal without knowledge, enthusiasm without enlightenment. In more modern jargon, they are keen but clueless.
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 modern world detests authority but worships relevance. Our Christian conviction is that the Bible has both authority and relevance, and that the secret of both is Jesus Christ
John Stott
Image
The major mark of justified believers is joy, especially joy in God himself. We should be the most positive people in the world. For the new community of Jesus Christ is characterized not by a self-centered triumphalism but by a God-centered worship.
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
The truth is that there are such things as Christian tears, and too few of us ever weep them.
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 chief reason why the Christian believes in the divine origin of the Bible is that Jesus Christ Himself taught it.
