The last book in a three-volume series by one of the most influential preachers of this century exploring the essentials of Christian doctrine focuses on echatalogical issues and the church.
David Martyn Lloyd-Jones was a Welsh Protestant minister, preacher and medical doctor who was influential in the Reformed wing of the British evangelical movement in the 20th century. For almost 30 years, he was the minister of Westminster Chapel in London. Lloyd-Jones was strongly opposed to Liberal Christianity, which had become a part of many Christian denominations; he regarded it as aberrant. He disagreed with the broad church approach and encouraged evangelical Christians (particularly Anglicans) to leave their existing denominations. He believed that true Christian fellowship was possible only amongst those who shared common convictions regarding the nature of the faith.
”Evanghelia aceasta a Împărăţiei va fi propovăduită în toată lumea, ca să slujească de mărturie tuturor neamurilor. Atunci va veni sfârşitul.” Matei 24:14
”Ce este Imparatia lui Dumnezeu? Ei bine, definitia cea mai buna spune ca este Domnia lui Dumnezeu. Imparatia lui Dumnezeu este prezenta oriunde Domneste Dumnezeu. Din cauza aceasta Domnul nostru a putut spune ca datorita activitatii si lucrarilor Sale ’Imparatia lui Dumnezeu este in voi” (Luca 17:21).
”Partasia se bazeaza pe aceeasi credinta, pe acelasi Adevar, pe aceeasi intelegere.”
”Daca studiul tau te smereste, inseamna ca e un studiu corect.”
”Ceea ce este important pentru noi este sa stim ca vom fi ’pentru eternitate cu Domnul’ (1 Tes. 4:17), bucurand-ne vesnic de gloria lui Dumnezeu.”
Read 2/3s of this book, about The Last Things, and think Martyn Lloyd-Jones is the best thing next to sliced bread. :) May someday finish the rest of book on The Church.
