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?
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
Image
Faith always shows itself in the whole personality.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
Image
Faith is a refusal to panic, come what may.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
Image
The gospel is meant to control and govern everything in our lives.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
Image
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
Image
If you doubt your sins have been forgiven, that in itself is sin.
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
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.

If you can explain what is happening in a church, apart from the sovereign act of God, it is not revival.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
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.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
Image
The glory of the gospel is that when the church is absolutely different from the world, she invariably attracts it.
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.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
Image
To love to preach is one thing to love to whom you preach is quite another.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
Image
Faith is the refusal to panic.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
If in a Christian pulpit you have no business saying, I suggest to you No! These things I declare to you.

Image
First of all, the evangelical is one who is entirely subservient to the Bible. This is true of every evangelical. He is a man of one book he starts with it he submits himself to it this is his authority.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
Image
The Christian is a man who can be certain about the ultimate even when he is most uncertain about the immediate.
