Pottering and Prayer - Christianity Today Magazine Perhaps few sights were more surprising to the uninitiated than John Stott wearing grimy clothes, up to his knees in cold water, grinning with satisfaction as he repeatedly shoved his bared arms underwater to grab handfuls of weeds and cast them onto shore.

There is no special secret to Stott's success, or one characteristic that makes the man. Rather, those who have the chance to enter into his life, to watch and to listen, come to know a man of gentle humility, regular prayer, and—for someone so diligent at work—a surprisingly balanced life. www.christianitytoday.com /ct/2001/005/4.60.html   (1837 words)

John Stott Stott's mission is to pierce through all the encrustations and share direct contact with Jesus. Stott says that the central message of the gospel is not the teachings of Jesus, but Jesus himself, the human/divine figure.

-- Beliefnet.com John Stott and the evangelicals base their understanding that the male is to be the head of the family on the words of a patriarchal social order written 2,000 years ago when women were not educated and not regarded as equal in the sight of God. Evangelicals like John Stott oppose divorce based on what they call "clear biblical teaching." Yet that clear teaching is predicated on the inferiority of the woman. John Stott and his evangelical friends are vehemently opposed to any acceptance of homosexuals because they are condemned, or at least their behavior is, in the revealed truth of Holy Scripture. www.beliefnet.com /story/44/story_4421_1.html   (695 words)

JOLLYBLOGGER: David Brooks, Andrew Sullivan and John Stott Even though Stott apparently hasn't done anything threatening toward those who are gay or support gay marriage, the fact that he has views which are opposed to these things is threatening. Stott is not necessarily the first one I would have chosen as a spokesman for evangelicalism, but he's a good one, and I am longing for the day when evangelicals will no longer be seen through the Falwell grid. Stott's statements on gay marriage reflected a spiritual and ecclesiastical agenda, not a political agenda. jollyblogger.typepad.com /jollyblogger/2004/12/david_brooks_an.html   (2097 words)

Stott states that, "we must understand who we are as well as who he was." He emphasizes that Jesus just did not come to the earth in a passive manner, but for a specific purpose...to become `the Saviour of sinners.'

Amazon.ca: Books: Same-Sex Partnerships?: A Christian Perspective   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22) On the basis of his analysis of these texts, Stott argues that the Bible's teachings against homosexuality should be measured in light of the positive biblical teachings on sex and marriage. Stott then analyzes five arguments used by proponents of same-sex relationships to "defend the legitimacy of homosexual relationships" and contends that each argument fails to understand the ways in which same-sex partnerships violate God's will for sexual relationships. Finally, Stott concludes that "at the heart of the homosexual condition is a deep loneliness, the natural human hunger for mutual love, a search for identity, and a longing for completeness." The church, he continues, can fulfill these needs through its acceptance, love and support of homosexuals--but not on their terms. www.amazon.ca /exec/obidos/ASIN/0800756746   (1114 words)

David Limbaugh The other day I was intrigued to see New York Times conservative columnist David Brooks writing about John Stott, one of my favorite theologians who I originally learned about from my pastor, Ron Watts. Our Lord's injunction to 'judge not' cannot be understood as a command to suspend our critical faculties in relation to other people, to turn a blind eye to their faults, to eschew all criticism, and to refuse to discern between truth and error, goodness and evil. But my favorite words of Stott come from his book, "The Cross of Christ." I have never read or heard anyone articulate the problem of human suffering in a world created by an omniscient, omnibenevolent God, better than John Stott. www.davidlimbaugh.com /mt/archives/2004/12/john_stott.html   (1051 words)

CCLEC Publications -- Addendum to the Presidential Address, by John Stott   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22) It is the false teachers (the deviationists) who should secede (1 John 2:19), not the true teachers (the constitutionalists). Besides, to develop a pragmatic argument, the large secessions of Methodists in the 18th century, and of the Reformed Episcopalians in the 19th century, left the church weaker, not stronger. John Poulton, at one time adviser on evangelism to the Archbishop of Canterbury, in his book called A Today Sort of Evangelism (Lutterworth 1972) wrote, "The most effective evangelism comes from those who embody the things they are saying. www.episcopalian.org /cclec/paper-stott_challenge.htm   (1558 words)
