The purpose of prayer is emphatically not to bend God's will to ours, but rather to align our will to his.
John Stott
Image
Grace is love that cares and stoops and rescues.
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
Image
Many (Christians) have zeal without knowledge, enthusiasm without enlightenment. In more modern jargon, they are keen but clueless.
John Stott
Image
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
Image
Mission arises from the heart of God Himself and is communicated from His heart to ours. Mission is the global outreach of the global people of a global God.
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
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
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.
John Stott
Image
Every powerful movement has had its philosophy which has gripped the mind, fired the imagination and captured the devotion of its adherents.
John Stott
Image
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
Image
Instead of inflicting upon us the judgment we deserved, God in Christ endured it in our place.
John Stott
Image
Moved by the perfection of His holy love, God in Christ substituted Himself for us sinners. That is the heart of the cross of Christ.
John Stott
Image
The chief reason people do not know God is not because He hides from them but because they hide from Him.
John Stott
Image
Because in no other person but the historic Jesus of Nazareth has God become man and lived a human life on earth, died to bear the penalty of our sins, and been raised from death and exalted to glory, there is no other Savior, for there is no other person who is qualified to save.
John Stott
Image
Faith is a reasoning trust, a trust which reckons thoughtfully and confidently upon the trustworthiness of God.
John Stott
Image
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.

The church is under orders. Evangelistic inactivity is disobedience.
