Persecution is simply the clash between two irreconcilable value-systems.
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.

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

For the essence of sin is man substituting himself for God [Gen. 3:1-7], while the essence of salvation is God substituting himself for man [2 Cor. 5:21]. Man asserts himself against God and puts himself where only God deserves to be God sacrifices himself for man and puts himself where only man deserves to be.

Every Christian should be both conservative and radical conservative in preserving the faith and radical in applying it.

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.

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.

A man who loves his wife will love her letters and her photographs because they speak to him of her. So if we love the Lord Jesus, we shall love the Bible because it speaks to us of him.

It is no exaggeration to say that without Scripture a Christian life is impossible.
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.'

There is evidence for the deity of Jesus -- good, strong, historical , cumulative evidence evidence to which an honest person can subscribe without committing intellectual suicide.

Many (Christians) have zeal without knowledge, enthusiasm without enlightenment. In more modern jargon, they are keen but clueless.
John Stott

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

Good conduct arises out of good doctrine.

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