The chief occupational hazard of leadership is pride.
John Stott
Image
The authority by which the Christian leader leads is not power but love, not force but example, not coercion but reasoned persuasion. Leaders have power, but power is safe only in the hands of those who humble themselves to serve.

We do not need to wait for the Holy Spirit to come: he came on the day of Pentecost. He has never left the church.
John Stott

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

There is no biblical Christianity without the cross at its center.
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
Image
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.
John Stott
Image
God intends... our care of Creation to reflect our love for the Creator.
John Stott
Image
We can all be stimulated to greater generosity by the known generosity of others.
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
At the cross in holy love God through Christ paid the full penalty of our disobedience himself.
John Stott
Image
Truth without love is too hard love without truth is too soft.
John Stott
Image
Grace is God loving, God stooping, God coming to the rescue, God giving himself generously in and through Jesus Christ.
John Stott
Image
We must be global Christians with a global vision because our God is a global God.
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.
