UPDATEDesiring God has now made the audio of this sermon available for free online. Once again, Piper prayed and acknowledged his sense of unworthiness.

In a variation on the “Ask a Blogger” theme, I received this e-mail, which was effectively asking Doctor Martyn Lloyd-Jones a question. “I have been doing some research lately on the revivals in Wales and the ministry of Christmas Evans and have come across an emphasis in the Welsh Revivals and in Lloyd-Jones on unction [...]

ASK A BLOGGER – What Do I Do Now?

Today we reach the fifth of my correspondent’s questions. It is, in many ways, the most admirable and crucial of all of them. Having not been baptized by the Spirit, what would you recommend that I do now? I began to answer this question in some ways in my previous Ask The Blogger post. In [...]

Martyn Lloyd-Jones Monday – On Sealing With the Spirit

March 10, 2008

I have frequently quoted from the Doctor on sealing with the Spirit as I think he is very helpful in understanding the whole concept of Spirit baptism.

Four or Five-Fold Ministry in Ephesians 4?

March 2, 2008

More than once I have been accused of appropriating Lloyd-Jones to my charismatic cause. Today I want to restart my MLJ Monday tradition by sharing a quote which comes from a context where the Doctor is strongly disagreeing with one of my positions. He is talking about the so-called Ephesians 4 ministries. The Doctor divides [...]

Help for our Prayerlessness – by Sam Storms

January 24, 2008

Part of the reason for my blog holiday has been, hopefully, to fit more time for prayer into my schedule which, even without blogging, remains tightly packed. As usual, I have not found that as easy as I would like—although I am praying more than I normally do. What is it about prayer that we [...]

December 17, 2007

For me, once I have prioritized my own personal inner life and relationship with God, then my dear family, a clear third place in my affections is given without a moment’s doubt to my local church.
