More quotes by John Stott

John Stott

On the cross divine mercy and justice were equally expressed and eternally reconciled. God's holy love was 'satisfied.'
John Stott

John Stott
God continues to speak through what He has spoken.
John Stott

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.
