Though John Stott is a bit dated in some ways, since he really doesn’t engage in current issues like the New Perspective, I love John Stott. This quote is an excellent reason why, and only one among many others, I’m sure.
Ted, thanks for stopping by. Yes Stott has been around for a while (he is 86 years old) but he has had a wonderful ministry and he still has some great things to say. Check him out at http://www.johnstott.org
