In this week’s episode of Into the Pray, I drive to a local quiet spot on the east coast of north Scotland to read for you a 1953 address of Dr Martyn Lloyd-Jones that ultimately caused John Stott, British Theologian from Cambridge, to publicly rebuke him.
Lloyd-Jones disagreed with ecumenicalism and the socio-political gospel of Billy Graham so strongly that he chose to face the ignominy that resulted from distancing himself from them rather than falling into the reality of Galatians 1:7-8.
Think along with me — are the attitudes which are central to the ecumenical agenda — in the Church and within Christian homes — really the foundations of faithful Christian relationships that are true to the gospel of Jesus Christ? What really of these “agree to disagree” agendas that cast a very dark shadow over those who refuse to agree that some matters, and some behaviours, shouldn’t ever be expected to change?
Listen to what Lloyd-Jones warned the church about in 1953.
