More quotes by Martyn Lloyd-Jones
Faith is the refusal to panic.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
Faith is this extraordinary principle which links man to God faith is this thing that keeps a man from hell and puts him in heaven it is the connection between this world and the world to come faith is this mystic astounding thing that can take a man dead in trespasses and sins and make him live as a new being, a new man in Christ Jesus.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
There is nothing more foolish or self-defeating than for a Christian to say that he is not interested in doctrines.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
To love to preach is one thing to love to whom you preach is quite another.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
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.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
The Gospel is open to all the most respectable sinner has no more claim on it than the worst.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
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
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?
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
All teaching and all truth and all doctrine must be tested in the light of the scriptures.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
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.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
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.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
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
The gospel is meant to control and govern everything in our lives.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
You are either a Christian or you are not a Christian you cannot be partly a Christian. You are either dead or alive you are either born or not born.
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.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
If in a Christian pulpit you have no business saying, I suggest to you No! These things I declare to you.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
Man was never meant to be a god, but he is forever trying to deify himself.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
The worst thing that can happen to a man is to succeed before he is ready.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
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.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
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.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
