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
All worship is an intelligent and loving response to the revelation of God, because it is the adoration of His name.
John Stott
Baptism with water is the sign and seal of baptism with the Spirit, as much as it is of the forgiveness of sins. Water-baptism is the initiatory Christian rite, because Spirit-baptism is the initiatory Christian experience.
John Stott
Persecution is simply the clash between two irreconcilable value-systems.
John Stott
Because in no other person but the historic Jesus of Nazareth has God become man and lived a human life on earth, died to bear the penalty of our sins, and been raised from death and exalted to glory, there is no other Savior, for there is no other person who is qualified to save.
John Stott
God continues to speak through what He has spoken.
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
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
Grace is love that cares and stoops and rescues.
John Stott
God condemned sin in Christ, so that holiness might appear in us.
John Stott
The church is under orders. Evangelistic inactivity is disobedience.
John Stott
We have the means of evangelizing our country, but they are slumbering in the pews of our churches.
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
Many (Christians) have zeal without knowledge, enthusiasm without enlightenment. In more modern jargon, they are keen but clueless.
John Stott
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
In the real world of pain, how could one worship a God who was immune to it?
John Stott
A gift is acceptable according to what the giver has, not according to what he has not.
John Stott
The chief reason people do not know God is not because He hides from them but because they hide from Him.
John Stott
Prayer is not a convenient device for imposing our will upon God, or bending his will to ours, but the prescribed way of subordinating our will to his.
John Stott
Instead of inflicting upon us the judgment we deserved, God in Christ endured it in our place.
John Stott
