More quotes by John Stott
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
We are to be strong in faith, and soft in love.
John Stott
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
It is a great comfort to know that our judge will be none other than our savior.
John Stott
Although we have responsibilities to others, we are primarily accountable to God. It is before him that we stand, and to him that one day we must give an account. We should not therefore rate human opinion too highly.
John Stott
God intends... our care of Creation to reflect our love for the Creator.
John Stott
A Christian should resemble a fruit tree with real fruit, not a Christmas tree with decorations tied on

John Stott
Good conduct arises out of good doctrine.
John Stott

John Stott
Truth without love is too hard love without truth is too soft.
John Stott
The church lies at the very center of the eternal purpose of God. It is not a divine afterthought.
John Stott
The chief occupational hazard of leadership is pride.
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
Good works are indispensable to salvation - not as its ground or means, however, but as its consequence and evidence.
John Stott
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.
