All worship is an intelligent and loving response to the revelation of God, because it is the adoration of His name.
John Stott
Image
We are to be strong in faith, and soft in love.
John Stott

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

John Stott
Image
Christians who neglect the Bible simply do not mature.
John Stott
Image
If God speaks to us about himself and his own glorious greatness, we respond by humbling ourselves before him in worship... If He speaks to us about His commandments, we determine to obey them.

It is a great comfort to know that our judge will be none other than our savior.
John Stott
Image
The chief reason people do not know God is not because He hides from them but because they hide from Him.
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.
John Stott

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.

There is something inherently inappropriate about cherishing small ambitions for God.
John Stott
Image
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
There is no biblical Christianity without the cross at its center.
John Stott
Image
A Christian should resemble a fruit tree with real fruit, not a Christmas tree with decorations tied on
John Stott
Image
The church lies at the very center of the eternal purpose of God. It is not a divine afterthought.
John Stott
Image
The concept of substitution lies at the heart of both sin and salvation. For the essence of sin is man substituting himself for God, while the essence of salvation is God substituting himself for man.
John Stott
Image
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.
John Stott
Image
Truth without love is too hard love without truth is too soft.
John Stott
Image
It is no exaggeration to say that without Scripture a Christian life is impossible.
John Stott

Sin and the child of God are incompatible. They may occasionally meet they cannot live together in harmony
