April 11, 2011
Thumbnail image for Lloyd-Jones on the folly of thinking God is only love and ignoring punishment and hell

Lloyd-Jones could have been saying this for the 21st Century not the 20th. There really is nothing new under the sun: “All this modern preaching on the fact that God is love is an indication of the same attitude and spirit. We are told today that the old sermons that preached the law and talked [...]

January 18, 2011

In this, the second of a series on Dr Martyn Lloyd-Jones first written for The Resurgence, we will explore some of the key elements of Martyn Lloyd-Jones’ doctrine that might be less frequent in the doctrine of others.

MLJ: Regeneration= unconscious, Baptism with Spirit= conscious

November 8, 2010

The Confluence blog has shared the following Lloyd-Jones quote: “It is clear that the baptism with the Holy Spirit is always something clear and unmistakable, something which can be recognized by the person to whom it happens and by others who look on at this person. This is obviously a most vital and important principle. [...]

Faith and Feelings Part Two – MLJ on why we can’t rely on feelings

September 15, 2010

Regular readers of this blog will know that I sit firmly in the tradition of Piper, Lloyd-Jones, Spurgeon, Edwards, and dare I say it Paul (!), who stresses the vital nature of the experiential side of Christianity. Now, as we begun yesterday, we are looking at the relationship between feelings and faith, initially by sharing [...]

Faith and Feelings Part One – MLJ on the vital place but unreliability of feelings

September 14, 2010

As promised yesterday, we today begin a series exploring the implications of one line from an old hymn “I dare not trust the sweetest frame, but wholy lean on Jesus name.” It is my assertion that the writer of the hymn must have known something of the sweet “frames of mind” that Jesus gives us. [...]

Lloyd-Jones: “Prayer is very difficult, probably the most difficult thing in the Christian life”

September 10, 2010

I listened to the first of nine new recordings that have been made freely available of the Doctor’s last visit to the USA.  He chose to begin by talking about prayer. It is striking how he describes prayer as a real challenge.  We must learn how to wrestle in prayer.  I am constantly being provoked [...]

September 6, 2010

Terry was prompted by the release of several new recordings of the Doctor’s preaching to blog about two times he met with Dr Martyn Lloyd-Jones. It makes compelling reading.  He quoted the doctor as telling the young reformed charismatic, “the greatest sin of the evangelical church is telling God what He could not do.” Terry [...]

Preaching in your own strength vs the Holy Spirit’s power

June 17, 2010

Too much Christianity today is devoid of the felt power of God. The following quote incisively speaks to our lack of dependence on God. Although it rightly focuses on preaching, the same could be said of blogging, or indeed everything we do. It is only as we are conscious of being carried along by a [...]

Is it Really Possible to Believe in a Form of Evolution and Still be a Christian?

February 27, 2010

I received the following email, and with the writer’s consent, thought it would be good to publish it here. Remember that the discussion I intended is not about what I personally believe on this issue, nor about what it is best for a Bible-loving believer to believe. Rather, it’s about whether arguing about evolution is [...]

MLJ Monday-The Christian Life Is Not Automatic

February 15, 2010
Thumbnail image for MLJ Monday-The Christian Life Is Not Automatic

Lloyd-Jones makes a great point in the quote below. The only thing I would add is that many people today think that simple preaching of doctrine will automatically lead to a transformed life. Lloyd-Jones is right when he says we must be taught to think. We need practical guidance to help us apply the wondrous [...]

Knowledge Puffs Up

November 8, 2009

This quote from Doctor Martyn Lloyd-Jones is taken from his Ephesians series of sermons which I keep going back to. He challenges those who settle for a purely intellectual dimension to their Christian faith. Like so much of what he said it is if anything MORE relevant to us today than it was when he [...]

Interview With “Bones” A Pastor From Zimbabwe

November 6, 2009

Anyone who knows me well knows that I have a soft spot for this troubled African country. It was where my wife grew up for a start. Also, who cannot feel compassion for this nation which should be one of the wealthiest in Africa and yet faces abject poverty? What amazes me is the way [...]

Doing It My Way Is Not The Right Way – Martyn Lloyd-Jones

October 19, 2009

I want to share today from The Doctor on the problem of self. Our society tells us to feed our independence, our self-sufficiency and as a result our pride. The Doctor wisely points to a very different way: How well the devil knows our human weakness! There is no method, therefore, that he more frequently [...]
