More quotes by John Stott

Christians believe that true worship is the highest and noblest activity of which man, by the grace of God, is capable.
John Stott
An unchurched christian is a grotesque anomaly. The New Testament knows nothing of such a person. For the church lies at the very center of the eternal purpose of God. It is not a divine afterthought. It is not an accident of history. On the contrary, the church is God's new community.
John Stott

John Stott
Theology is a serious quest for the true knowledge of God, undertaken in response to His self-revelation, illumined by Christian tradition, manifesting a rational inner coherence, issuing in ethical conduct, resonating with the contemporary world and concerned for the greater glory of God.
John Stott
In the real world of pain, how could one worship a God who was immune to it?
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
God sacrifices himself for man and puts himself where only man deserves to be.
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.
