Quote by John Stott
“Escritura habla mucho de la diferencia entre la reputación y la realidad, entre lo que ven los seres humanos y lo que ve Dios. “Yahvéh no mira lo que mira el hombre; pues el hombre mira lo que está delante de sus ojos, pero Yahvéh mira el corazón” (1 Samuel 16:7). La obsesión por la apariencia y la reputación conduce de manera natural a la hipocresía (algo que Jesús aborrece). Esto nos indica que la sinceridad caracteriza a la iglesia viva y verdadera. Misión. Al escribir a Filadelfi a, Jesús se presenta”

John Robert Walmsley Stott is a British Christian leader and Anglican clergyman who is noted as a leader of the worldwide evangelical movement. He is famous as one of the principal authors of the Lausanne Covenant in 1974.
Stott was ordained in 1945 and went on to become a curate at All Souls Church, Langham Place (1945-1950) then rector (1950-75). This was the church in which he had grown up, and in which he has spent almost all of his life, aside from a few years spent in Cambridge.
Stott played a central role at two landmark events in the history of British evangelicalism. He was chairing the National Assembly of Evangelicals in 1966, a convention organised by the Evangelical Alliance, when Martyn Lloyd-Jones made an unexpected call for evangelicals to unite together as evangelicals and no longer within their 'mixed' denominations.
