More quotes by John Stott
There is something inherently inappropriate about cherishing small ambitions for God.
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
We are to be strong in faith, and soft in love.
John Stott
Good conduct arises out of good doctrine.
John Stott
A deaf church is a dead church: that is an unalterable principle.
John Stott
A man who loves his wife will love her letters and her photographs because they speak to him of her. So if we love the Lord Jesus, we shall love the Bible because it speaks to us of him.
John Stott
Our Christian life began not with our decision to follow Christ but with God's call to us to do so.
John Stott
The incentive to peacemaking is love, but it degenerates into appeasement whenever justice is ignored. To forgive and to ask for forgiveness are both costly exercises. All authentic Christian peacemaking exhibits the love and justice-and so the pain-of the cross.
John Stott
God intends... our care of Creation to reflect our love for the Creator.
John Stott
We must be global Christians with a global vision because our God is a global God.
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
God continues to speak through what He has spoken.
John Stott
It is no exaggeration to say that without Scripture a Christian life is impossible.
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.
John Stott
Faith is a reasoning trust, a trust which reckons thoughtfully and confidently upon the trustworthiness of God.
John Stott
The Christian's chief occupational hazards are depression and discouragement.
John Stott
The church lies at the very center of the eternal purpose of God. It is not a divine afterthought.
John Stott
It is impossible to pray for someone without loving him, and impossible to go on praying for him without discovering that our love for him grows and matures.
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 purpose of prayer is emphatically not to bend God's will to ours, but rather to align our will to his.
John Stott
