Faith is a reasoning trust, a trust which reckons thoughtfully and confidently upon the trustworthiness of God.
John Stott
Image
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
Image
Indignation and compassion form a powerful combination. They are indispensable to vision, and therefore to leadership.
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

Christian people should surely have been in the vanguard of the movement for environmental responsibility, because of our doctrines of creation and stewardship. Did God make the world? Does he sustain it? Has he committed its resources to our care? His personal concern for his own creation should be sufficient to inspire us to be equally concerned.

Image
Saving faith is resting faith, the trust which relies entirely on the Savior.
John Stott
Image
The chief reason why the Christian believes in the divine origin of the Bible is that Jesus Christ Himself taught it.
John Stott
Image
A deaf church is a dead church: that is an unalterable principle.
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.
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
Our Christian life began not with our decision to follow Christ but with God's call to us to do so.
John Stott
Image
...The first and great evidence of our walking by the Spirit or being filled with the Spirit is not some private mystical experience of our own, but our practical relationships of love with other people.
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 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.
