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.

A deaf church is a dead church: that is an unalterable principle.
John Stott
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
A Christian's freedom from anxiety is not due to some guaranteed freedom from trouble, but to the folly of worry and especially to the confidence that God is our Father, that even permitted suffering is within the orbit of His care.
John Stott
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.
John Stott
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.
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
Pride is more than the first of the seven deadly sins it is itself the essence of all sin.
John Stott
A gift is acceptable according to what the giver has, not according to what he has not.
John Stott
God does not love us because Christ died for us Christ died for us because God loved us.
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
The purpose of prayer is emphatically not to bend God's will to ours, but rather to align our will to his.
John Stott
It is no exaggeration to say that without Scripture a Christian life is impossible.
John Stott
Apathy is the acceptance of the unacceptable.
John Stott
A Christian should resemble a fruit tree with real fruit, not a Christmas tree with decorations tied on
John Stott
The truth is that there are such things as Christian tears, and too few of us ever weep them.
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
It is a great comfort to know that our judge will be none other than our savior.
John Stott
God sacrifices himself for man and puts himself where only man deserves to be.
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
Simplicity is the first cousin of contentment.
