The Deity of the Holy Spirit

Posted on July 6, 2020 by James Williams

Today we’ll continue our study of “Great Doctrines of the Bible” by Martyn Lloyd-Jones (MLJ) by looking at chapter 2 (vol. II), “The Deity of the Holy Spirit.” In the previous chapter, MLJ argued for the personality of the Holy Spirit. Next, he will demonstrate the biblical teaching of the Spirit’s deity. This, MLJ teaches,…

The Person of the Holy Spirit

Posted on June 22, 2020 by James Williams

There is great confusion today regarding the person of the Holy Spirit. Things done under the guise of the Spirit are oftentimes mere sensationalism and emotional manipulation. On the other hand, there is often such a reaction to these extremes that many believers end up ignoring the biblical teaching on the Spirit altogether. Martyn Lloyd-Jones…

3 Dangers of an Over-Realized Eschatology

Posted on April 3, 2020 by James Williams

We are living in the last times. This isn’t some prediction based on current events, but a simple teaching of the Bible. The time between the first and second coming of Christ is referred to in the New Testament as the “last days.” Eschatology is the study of last things. When we think of end…

Christ the king; Great Doctrines of the Bible by Martyn Lloyd-Jones

Christ the King

Posted on February 3, 2020 by James Williams

Today we’ll continue our study of “Great Doctrines of the Bible” by Martyn Lloyd-Jones by looking at chapter 33, “Christ the King.” We’ve already seen that Christ is the promised prophet and priest. Scripture also teaches that he’s also the promised King. God promised David that one of his sons would build a “house” that…

The Necessity of the Atonement

Posted on January 13, 2020 by James Williams

We’ve been looking at the atonement in our study of Great Doctrines of the Bible by Martyn Lloyd-Jones. First, we looked at a few theories of the atonement that don’t do justice to the teaching of Scripture. Then, we looked at the biblical teaching of the substitutionary death of Christ. In chapter 30, Lloyd-Jones argues…

The Substitutionary Death of Christ

Posted on January 6, 2020 by James Williams

Today we’ll continue our study of “Great Doctrines of the Bible” by Martyn Lloyd-Jones by examining chapter 29, “Substitution.” In our last post, we looked at some of the false theories of the atonement. However, while some of these theories had elements of truth in them, none of them fully dealt with the biblical teaching…

The atonement, Why did Jesus have to die on the cross?, Martyn Lloyd-Jones, Great Doctrines of the Bible

What Happened on the Cross?

Posted on November 11, 2019 by James Williams

Sin has separated man from God and the only way of reconciliation is through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. His life, death, and resurrection have made it possible for sinful humanity to be restored to God. But, why is the cross necessary? What happened on the cross that made salvation possible? We’ll continue our…

Christ the Priest

Posted on October 14, 2019 by James Williams

Today we’ll continue our study of “Great Doctrines of the Bible” by Martyn Lloyd-Jones. The last chapter considered the prophetic role of Christ, today we’ll examine chapter 26, “Christ the Priest.” Our sin renders us unable to stand before a holy God. We need to be delivered from our guilt, and in the Old Testament…

Behold Our God!

Posted on September 29, 2019 by James Williams

About 53 million light-years from earth is a supermassive black hole that is the core of Messier 87, one of the largest galaxies in the observable universe. Several billion times the mass of the sun, this black hole (like all black holes) has such a gravitational pull that nothing, not even light, can escape it…

Lloyd-Jones on Numbers

Posted on September 23, 2019 by James Williams

At a Westminster Chapel discussion group in 1944, the topic of numbers came up and many were concerned. Attendance had dropped due to WWII, and many “doubted whether the plain services now established, with forty-five minute (or longer) sermons and not even an organ…would ever bring back the numbers which once crowded the building.” A…
