The Life and Legacies of Martyn Lloyd-Jones Twenty-five years on Dr D Martyn Lloyd-Jones was multi-gifted. He was a born leader and a brilliant chairman of meetings, whether of church meetings or of conferences. But he was pre-eminently a preacher. It was his care for and his love for souls that made him an effective preacher. When he was leader of the large congregation at Westminster Chapel, London, it was not possible for him to engage in systematic pastoral visitation of the flock. However, it was his custom after every service to spend time in his vestry counselling those who needed his help. A deacon was always in charge to supervise this part of the Doctor's ministry. Dr ML-J was a pastor by telephone to many other pastors. Much of his time was spent in advising and shepherding fellow-pastors, especially younger men. It was preaching ministry that formed the basis of all Dr ML-J's work. It was his preaching that built up the church known as Sandfields, Port Talbot, in Wales where he was pastor from 1927 to 1938. The same is true of Westminster Chapel, which congregation was built up gradually after the 1939-1945 world war. The war had severely depleted the congregation. Many had moved out of the city. It was his preaching ministry that spearheaded his extensive work among students as he frequently preached at Inter-Varsity Fellowship (IVP) and the International Fellowship of Evangelical Students (IFES) conferences. I heard him present historical and biographical subjects on several occasions. I was present when he spoke for over two hours at the Evangelical Library in 1962. The subject was the tercentenary of the Great Ejection of 1662. He spoke with passion and I must say I never ever saw him read a paper. His method was to use an outline. Even when presenting a historical or biographical paper, his method was to preach. His delivery was always personable and dynamic. He regularly preached at mid-week meetings and rallies throughout the United Kingdom but especially in Wales where he preached in Welsh as well 3 as English. It was his preaching that cL stiluled the contents of all his books. As with the English Puritans! whom he admired, loved and commended, he preached his sermons forst and later edited them for the publishers. I will outline his life and then concentrate on his legacies and how they apply today. The life of Doctor Martyn Lloyd-Jones Born in Cardiff, South Wales, Marty~ Lloyd-Jones spent the greater part of his childhood in rural Cardig1nshire before moving with his family to London in 1914. Concluding his education at St. Marylebone Grammar School, he entered St Bar holomew's Hospital at 16, to follow a career in medicine. He pas ~ ed all his examinations with brilliance. In 1921 he was chosen as ~ hief Clinical Assistant to the famous Sir Thomas Border who was[ a cardiologist and the King's physician. The importance of precise thinking and analysis in diagnosis made a deep impression on the yo ~ng ML-J. An acute intellect combined with astute observation o ~ human nature and excellent memory were natural gifts which contributed much to his work as pastor and preacher.

But it is not all stud y. The pastor needs to relate to his people and be w ith them by way of hospita lity or by visitation. That subject is addressed in the artic le on visitation . The degree to which writing on visitation has been neglected is illustrated by th e fact that there is onl y one entry fo r it the new 2003 The FINDER (Banner ofTruth 1955-2002, RT 1970- 2002, Westminster Conference 1955-2002).

  • Sundials, Solar Rays, and St Paul's Cathedral
    Extract from: Babylonian London, Nimrod, and the Secret War Against God by Jeremy James, 2014. Sundials, Solar Rays, and St Paul's Cathedral Since London is a Solar City – with St Paul's Cathedral representing the "sun" – we should expect to find evidence of solar rays , the symbolic use of Asherim to depict the radiant, life-sustaining power of the sun. Such a feature would seem to be required by the Babylonian worldview, where Asherim are conceived as conduits of hidden power, visible portals through which the gods radiate their "beneficent" energies into the universe. The spires and towers of 46 churches are aligned with the center of the dome of St Paul's Cathedral, creating 23 "solar rays". I was already familiar with this idea from my research into the monuments of Dublin, where church steeples and other Asherim are aligned in radial fashion around the "sun," the huge modern obelisk known as the Millennium Spire. As it happens, a total of 23 "solar rays" pass through the center of the dome of St Paul's Cathedral, based on the alignment of churches alone . Thus, in the diagram above, two churches sit on each line. If other types of Asherim are included – such as obelisks, monoliths, columns and cemetery chapels – the number is substantially greater. [The 46 churches in question are listed in the table below .] 1 www.zephaniah.eu The churches comprising the 23 "rays" emanating from St Paul's Cathedral 1 St Stephen's, Westbourne Park St Paul's Cathedral St Michael's Cornhill 2 All Souls Langham Place St Paul's Cathedral St Paul's Shadwell

Campbell Morgan 1915 Who Was G. Campbell Morgan? G. Campbell Morgan was a preacher of the Gospel and teacher of the Bible. Preaching Magazine ranked him # 6 on their list of the Ten Greatest Preachers of the Twentieth Century. Dr. Timothy Warren wrote of him, “G. Campbell Morgan helped influence the shape of evangelical preaching on both sides of the Atlantic.” Though born in England and best known for his two tenures as pastor of Westminster Chapel in London, Campbell Morgan crossed the Atlantic Ocean 54 times in his ministry. He was often called the “Prince of Expositors” for his Bible based preaching. He was without question the most famous evangelical preacher in England, and probably the world, during the first 40 years of the 20th Century. Morgan was an educator when God called him to preach. He applied to become a Methodist preacher in 1888, but was turned down. After preaching his trial sermon to the Methodist Board of Ministry, his examiners rejected his application, saying that his preaching showed no promise. The rejection stung deeply, and Campbell Morgan nearly gave up his calling. That very night he telegraphed his father one word, “Rejected”. But his father replied, “Rejected on earth; Accepted in heaven”.

    A CRITICAL EVALUATION OF THE EVANGELISTIC PREACHING OF MARTYN LLOYD-JONES WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO HIS ‘ACTS’ SERIES OF SERMONS AND ITS RELEVANCE FOR UK PASTORS TODAY GARY STEWART BENFOLD BSc (Hons), MA DIRECTOR OF STUDIES: Dr Jenny Read-Heimerdinger SECOND SUPERVISOR: Dr Robert Pope In collaboration with Wales Evangelical School of Theology STATEMENT: This research was undertaken under the auspices of the University of Wales: Trinity Saint David and was submitted in partial fulfilment for the award of a Degree of DMin by Research in the School of Theology, Religious and Islamic Studies of the University of Wales. April 2017 Abstract A Critical Evaluation of the Evangelistic Preaching of Martyn Lloyd-Jones with Special Reference to his ‘Acts’ Series of Sermons and its Relevance for UK Pastors Today Abstract The ministry of David Martyn Lloyd-Jones (1899-1981), a leading British preacher within the Reformed tradition, has been a subject of research in the decades since his death. In spite of the importance he himself attached to evangelistic preaching, however, no significant study has been conducted of his own evangelistic preaching. This dissertation explores his weekly evangelistic ministry based on the Book of Acts in the 1960s, his closing years at Westminster Chapel, London. The purpose is to consider the ongoing usefulness, if any, of his practice and method for ministers who stand in the same theological tradition today. The work examines, first, the convictions that drove Lloyd-Jones’ practice, using his published addresses as primary source material. Beyond a summary of his career and his influence (Chapter One), consideration is given to the religious and social context at the time of the Acts sermons, and to its significance for the approach Lloyd-Jones successfully adopted (Chapter Two).

  • Lloyd-Jones on Romans
    CHAPTER 23 The Apostle and the Doctor: Lloyd-Jones on Romans Stephen Westerholm In a recent review of a volume on modern interpretations of Romans, I. Howard Marshall commented on one notable omission from the discussion: If we ask who has been the most influential interpreter of Romans in the church in the twentieth century, one strong candidate is David Martyn Lloyd-Jones. You do not hear about him in academic circles. Quite simply, he was the finest preacher and expositor of Romans in the evangelical wing of the church, and John Calvin and Martin Luther will have been the major influences upon him. He did not always get it right, but of the breadth of his influence in the U.K. there can be no doubt.1 Lloyd-Jones was minister at Westminster Chapel in London from 1939 until 1968.2 Over the last twelve-and-a-half years of his ministry (October 7, 1955 to March 1, 1968), he preached a series of 372 sermons on Romans on Friday evenings, October to May, to “five or six hundred” eager listeners.3 The series— and his ministry at the Chapel—ended abruptly after a sermon on Romans 14:17 because of ill health, though Lloyd-Jones was able to devote time in his retirement to editing these sermons for publication. After his death in 1981, the work was continued by his wife and daughter, assisted by others; the four- teenth and final volume in the series (on Rom 14:1–17) was published in 2003.4 1 Marshall, Review of Modern Interpretations of Romans.

Traditions which can hinder progress, stick hard and are difficult to remove. Reformation is exceed ingly difficult. Long patience and enduring perseverance are necessary. It is no small help to understand how these traditions originated. Robert Oliver's historical survey gives us some idea. Whenever the Church departs from a powerful doctrinal, expository, systematic, teaching ministry she exposes herself to deadly errors and heresies. A lack of definitive doctrine made way during the last century for the overwhelming advance of Liberalism. The poor evangelical forces were ill-equipped to stand before the armed might and blitz-krieg of the higher critical movement. A lack of doctrinal strength in the Established Church meant that a fertile field was ready to receive the seeds of a resurgent Romanism in the Church of England. In his first study Robert Oliver traced out the advance of Liberalism and described the advance of an expanding Romanism.
