The church is always to be under the Word; she must be; we must keep her there. You must not assume that because the church started correctly, she will continue so. She did not do so in the New Testament times; she has not done so since. Without being constantly reformed by the Word the church becomes something very different.
Martyn Lloyd-JonesWe all tend to go to extremes; some rely only on their own preparation and look for nothing more; others, as I say, tend to despise preparation and trust to the unction, the anointing and the inspiration of the Spirit alone. But there must be no "either/or" here; it is always "both/and." These two things must go together.
Martyn Lloyd-JonesWe should go into His presence as a child goes to his father. We do it with reverence and godly fear, of course, but we should go with a childlike confidence and simplicity.
Martyn Lloyd-JonesIf we only spent more of our time in looking at Him we should soon forget ourselves.
Martyn Lloyd-JonesThe devil's one object is so to depress God's people that he can go to the man of the world and say: There are God's people. Do you want to be like that?
