...There is a great need of more familiarity with the Scriptures and their teaching in order that we may be crushed to our knees with a sense of humility and be made to cry to God that He would visit us again.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
Image
If you look at your past and are depressed it means that you are listening to the devil.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
Image
Faith is a refusal to panic, come what may.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones

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.

I sometimes think that the very essence of the whole Christian position and the secret of a successful spiritual life is just to realize two things... I must have complete, absolute confidence in God and no confidence in myself.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
Image
The introduction is the first and best chance to win the attention of people who otherwise would not care. The first thing you have to do is make people believe that what you have to say is relevant and important.
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.

There are powers that can counterfeit almost everything in the Christian life.

The Gospel is open to all the most respectable sinner has no more claim on it than the worst.
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.

What is the chief end of preaching? I like to think it is this: It is to give men and women a sense of God and His presence.

The glory of the gospel is that when the church is absolutely different from the world, she invariably attracts it.

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