Quote

The devil's one object is so to depress God's people that he can go to the man of the world and say: There are God's people. Do you want to be like that?

Grace is favor shown to people who do not deserve any favor at all.

If in a Christian pulpit you have no business saying, I suggest to you No! These things I declare to you.

To be a Christian is not only to believe the teaching of Christ, and to practice it it is not only to try to follow the pattern and example of Christ it is to be so vitally related to Christ that His life and His power are working in us. It is to be in Christ, it is for Christ to be in us.

You must go on to remind yourself of God - who God is, and what God is, and what God has done, and what God has pledged Himself to do.

If you doubt your sins have been forgiven, that in itself is sin.

There is nothing more foolish or self-defeating than for a Christian to say that he is not interested in doctrines.

You can have knowledge, and you can be meticulous in your preparation but without the unction of the Holy Spirit you will have no power, and your preaching will not be effective.

The devil is so subtle that he dominates man and persuades him at the same time that he is not being dominated.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
Image
We all tend to go to extremes some rely only on their own preparation and look for nothing more others, as I say, tend to despise preparation and trust to the unction, the anointing and the inspiration of the Spirit alone. But there must be no either/or here it is always both/and. These two things must go together.

The Gospel is open to all the most respectable sinner has no more claim on it than the worst.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
Image
I am not asking whether you know things about Him but do you know God, are you enjoying God, is God the centre of your life, the soul of your being, the source of your greatest joy? He is meant to be.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
Image
Be still, and know that I am God. We must not interpret that 'Be still' in a sentimental manner. Some regard it as a kind of exhortation to us to be silent but it is nothing of the sort. It means, 'Give up -or 'Give in' and admit I am God'. God is addressing people who are opposed to Him.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
Image
There is nothing which so certifies the genuineness of a man's faith as his patience and his patient endurance, his keeping on steadily in spite of everything.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
Image
Human will-power alone is not enough. Will-power is excellent and we should always be using it but it is not enough. A desire to live a good life is not enough. Obviously we should all have that desire, but it will not guarantee success.

If you look at your past and are depressed it means that you are listening to the devil.

Conviction is not repentance conviction leads to repentance. But you can be convicted without repentance.

Image
The ultimate cause of spiritual depression is unbelief. For if it were not for unbelief, even the devil could do nothing. It is because we listen to the devil instead of listening to God that we go down before him and fall before his attacks.

Have you realized that most of your unhappiness in life is due to the fact that you are listening to yourself instead of talking to yourself?

All teaching and all truth and all doctrine must be tested in the light of the scriptures.

To love to preach is one thing to love to whom you preach is quite another.
