“I sometimes think that the very essence of the whole Christian position and the secret of a successful spiritual life is just to realize two things…I must have complete, absolute confidence in God and no confidence in myself.”

Thanks for the information. I just set up an account to log in, to listen to Martyn Lloyd-Jones sermons.
You’re welcome, Eldermike. I have listened to quite a few of them and they are always good particularly if you like an in-depth study on particular verses.
(By the way, I’m 10 more pages along in your book.)
Thank you so much for sharing this inspiring quote, by Martin Lloyd Jones, Chris. It helped me on a morning when I’ve a really bad bout of ‘flu.
You’re welcome, Elizabeth. I have another friend who has had the flu as well. It sounds like a very rough one. He is on the mend and I hope you will be soon, too!
Ah, that’s an excellent quote from MLJ. Thanks, Chris!
You’re welcome, Tom!
So true. Trusting God fully and letting go of self-reliance is where real peace and strength come from.
Amen, Pastor Jim. I think Martyn Lloyd-Jones really thought about this statement. I have never seen a preacher preach so many sermons in a row on only a few verses. In other words, he chose to squeeze as much out of verse as he could sometimes before moving on. For him to make a general statement like this is unique for him at least.
Excellent quote, Chris. I have the MLJ app and listened to several sermons on the armor of God. Very good. You don’t hear his kind of preaching these days, at least I haven’t. Again I am grateful that we have these resources.
Thank you, Cathy. ML-J was a true treasure for sure. I have listened to some of his sermons as well. He was loved by young and old alike. I am grateful for the app, too. What a wonderful resource!
