Maintaining the Evangelical Faith Today | An Address of Martyn Lloyd-Jones (1953)

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 Martin 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.

What Should Happen When Christian Leaders Fall?

Wasn’t Ravi Enough? is the title of one of the chapters in my latest book that you can see here. The question as to whether or not the scale and shock of the RZIM scandal was sufficient to rouse the Church from comatose is rhetorical; of course it wasn’t. Neither was COVID-19, church closures and the emergence of totalitarian governments. Nevertheless, if we are going to take Jesus’ return seriously, the question remains: what should happen when Christian leaders fall? One Day not too far from now, there will be a wedding supper of the Lamb, the door to which will eventually close.

One of the Strongest Demonic Strongholds in the Church

I keep short accounts with the Lord and I have no doubt that what I’m saying in this video is absolutely true and faithful to the eternal Word of God.

The proliferation of female pastors/elders/head honchos in the home is the iniquity of spiritual rebellion and whoredom.

Ergo, inverted spiritual “leadership” is one of the main reasons that the Church are currently limping as we are are and floundering in spiritual impotence.
