Martyn Lloyd-Jones

Tomorrow 40 years ago, Martyn Lloyd-Jones was dying and could not speak. He wrote on a bit of paper: “Don’t pray for healing. Don’t hold me back from the glory.” Three days later he was there.

This was 4 months ago. Were these the last words John MacArthur spoke on camera?

So, I got a copy of Lloyd-Jones’ Studies in the Sermon on the Mount. In the process of going through that, I jettisoned virtually all of that sort of dispensational stuff that had been concocted and imposed on the book of Matthew and on the rest of Scripture. – John MacArthur

John MacArthur 1939 – 2025 “We feebly struggle, they in glory shine.”

Our hearts are heavy, yet rejoicing, as we share the news that our beloved pastor and teacher John MacArthur has entered into the presence of the Savior. This evening, his faith became sight. He faithfully endured until his race was run. 2 Timothy 4:1-8

Martyn Lloyd-Jones showed me that you stay in one pulpit, stand behind that pulpit, pour your entire life into that pulpit. Take care of the depth and let God worry about the breadth. Let him take it where he wants. - John MacArthur

Our attitude towards the law is most important. Our Lord has not come to make it easier for us or to make it in any sense less stringent in its demands upon us. His purpose in coming was to enable us to keep the law, not to abrogate it. – Martyn Lloyd-Jones

The more spiritual you have become, and the more knowledge you have of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ and of the Holy Spirit, the more you will see your own sinfulness and the depth of evil that is in you. – Martyn Lloyd-Jones

Unless I start with the holiness of God, my whole conception of the love of God is going to be false. – Martyn Lloyd-Jones

What are the mountain peaks in church history? Here is one: Athanasius contra mundum. Athanasius had to stand alone against the whole world on the doctrine of the Person of Christ. – Martyn Lloyd-Jones

Read sermons. But make sure that they were published before 1900! Read the sermons of Spurgeon and Whitefield and Edwards and all the giants. Those men themselves read the Puritans and were greatly helped by them. – Martyn Lloyd-Jones

The Christian is not ‘a good man’. He is a vile wretch who has been saved by the grace of God. – Martyn Lloyd-Jones
