More quotes by John Stott
There is evidence for the deity of Jesus -- good, strong, historical , cumulative evidence evidence to which an honest person can subscribe without committing intellectual suicide.
John Stott
The chief occupational hazard of leadership is pride.
John Stott
The Christian's chief occupational hazards are depression and discouragement.
John Stott
There is something inherently inappropriate about cherishing small ambitions for God.
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
Apathy is the acceptance of the unacceptable.
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
Our love grows soft if it is not strengthened by truth, and our truth grows hard if it is not softened by love.
John Stott
The chief reason why the Christian believes in the divine origin of the Bible is that Jesus Christ Himself taught it.
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
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
Prayer is the very way God Himself has chosen for us to express our conscious need of Him and our humble dependence on Him.
John Stott
We must be global Christians with a global vision because our God is a global God.
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.
John Stott
Christians who neglect the Bible simply do not mature.
John Stott
We are sent into the world, like Jesus, to serve. For this is the natural expression of our love for our neighbors. We love. We go. We serve.
John Stott
What we need is not more learning, not more eloquence, not more persuasion, not more organization, but more power from the Holy Spirit.
John Stott
Sin and the child of God are incompatible. They may occasionally meet they cannot live together in harmony
John Stott
The modern world detests authority but worships relevance. Our Christian conviction is that the Bible has both authority and relevance, and that the secret of both is Jesus Christ
John Stott
The church lies at the very center of the eternal purpose of God. It is not a divine afterthought.
John Stott
