Satan, Martyn Lloyd-Jones on the Devil, Great Doctrines of the Bible, Devil and Fallen Angels

Who is Satan?

Posted on October 1, 2018 by James Williams

We continue our study of Great Doctrines of the Bible by Martyn Lloyd-Jones (MLJ) by examining chapter 11 entitled, “The Devil and the Fallen Angels.” MLJ believes that many Christians “have not realized the powers that are set against them” (115). From Genesis to Revelation, Scripture warns believers about the works of Satan. There are…

Lloyd-Jones On The Mystery Of The Trinity

Posted on August 20, 2018 by James Williams

One of the most difficult Christian teachings is the doctrine of the Trinity. For some, its difficulty gives them reason to abandon studying it altogether. While it’s true the Trinity is mysterious and certainly above our finite ability to completely understand, God has revealed himself as three-in-one. A study of an infinite God won’t always…

A God We Can Trust

Posted on August 7, 2018 by James Williams

Trusting the unseen isn’t easy. When life seems stacked against us, we naturally lean toward hopelessness. Our ideal of an easy life is chiseled away by our experiences. Another sickness, another loss, another unmet expectation and we find ourselves asking how much more we can take. But, for the believer, it’s even in these moments…

The Warnings and Comforts of God’s Attributes

Posted on July 17, 2018 by James Williams

We continue our study of Great Doctrines of the Bible by Martyn Lloyd-Jones (MLJ). Last time, we looked at the existence of God, and this week we’ll study chapter 6, “The Attributes of God’s Absolute Personality.” MLJ begins by making a case for why we need to study God’s attributes. In John 4, Jesus tells…

The Existence and Being of God

Posted on July 3, 2018 by James Williams

We continue our study of Great Doctrines of the Bible by Martyn Lloyd-Jones (MLJ). After spending the first few chapters establishing an understanding of the Word of God (revelation, authority), he now moves on to the doctrine of God. Chapter 5 is entitled ‘The Existence and Being of God.’ In all of our thinking, God…

Great Doctrines of the Bible by Martyn Lloyd Jones, is the bible authoritative

Does the Bible Claim to be Authoritative?

Posted on May 29, 2018 by James Williams

Most of us don’t like authority. We don’t like to be told what to do or how to do it. Yet, whether we like it or not, authority is a part of life. We will live and work under authority. We have bosses, shareholders, administrations, etc. to whom we work for. We all answer to…

How Can We Know Anything About God?

Posted on May 15, 2018 by James Williams

Deep in the heart of man is a yearning, something within us that tells us that there’s more to this universe than what we see. It tells us that we are just a small part on a large stage directed by someone or something else. Some call this invisible force ‘fate.’ Others call it ‘the…

Mind, Heart, and Will: Examining the Great Doctrines of the Bible

Posted on May 1, 2018 by James Williams

Doctrine. It’s a bad word among many. It conjures up images of dry, stuffy, arrogant intellectuals who don’t seem to have an ounce of compassion or love in their bodies. One might think of prideful ‘know-it-alls’ who show little signs of spirituality and don’t like to have fun. I’m not saying those type of people…

Lloyd-Jones On The Christian Life

Posted on April 30, 2018 by James Williams

The following is a book review on Lloyd-Jones On the Christian Life by Jason Meyer originally published on Servants of Grace: Tightrope walkers amaze me.  I marvel at the ability to concentrate and balance on such a small wire while certain death awaits the slightest mishap.  They must keep their center mass balanced perfectly over the…

Children Paddling at the Edge of the Ocean: A True and False Knowledge of God

Posted on February 28, 2018 by James Williams

Imagine a little child sitting on the edge of the beach. As the waves come in, the water barely gets to her knees. She feels the water and knows it’s cold. The smell of salt fills her nostrils as she watches the water make its way up the beach, only to be pulled back by…
