One of the things that amused me about reading Spurgeon’s life is the crazy projects he undertook whilst “too ill” to preach! It seems that John Piper has a similar approach. I understand that Piper is recovering well from his recent cancer op but this DG News article is an insight into all that goes on in the life of DGM even when Piper is “resting” “March 1, 2006: John Piper is on sabbatical March 1 July 31. Please pray... Read more
UPDATE – the following post has been seen by some as a public rebuke of Phil Johnson – it was never intended in that way and so I have left it in place without editing it. But, after reading it please see my public apology to Phil for more information and clarification. When I started this post, I was going to begin it by saying “It grieves me greatly to report that it seems hostilities have resumed.” Having gone back... Read more

I am not feeling well today, so am not going to be able to produce a well-thought-out blog post (do I ever?). Anyway, as a result I am even more grateful than normal for a correspondend who has kindly on my request sent me some quotes from remarks Lloyd-Jones made at a Westminster Fraternal meeting on October 9, 1968. Earlier that year he had developed cancer and had resigned his position at Westminster. Now recovered from his operation, this was... Read more
Over at Together for the Gospel: you need the gift of interpretation of strange tongues from time to time to read! Take this example of Lig making sense of a previous post. Actually, I discern the spirit of Mahaney in some of these comments – the complements sound like just the sort of thing he would say! When you hear Al Mohler begin his radio program by a long speech praising the virtues of his producer and saying what an... Read more
Tope could have called his latest sermon in our stewardship series “lets talk about sex” but instead he called it Entrusted with desires . It was a great message and vital to listen to for both singles and marrieds. The rest of the series can be found at Jubilee’s Sermons page Read more
Well, judging by a quick Google Blogsearch a whole bunch of bloggers are writing about The Doctor right now. I wonder how many of them know he said things like this: The following is from Great Doctrines of the Bible by Lloyd-Jones, and is found in the chapter entitled “Further Reflections on the Baptism of the Spirit.” “. . . Now Jonathan Edwards was probably one of the greatest minds—I say it advisedly—that the world has ever known. He is... Read more

A little known fact about the Doctor who passed away 25 years ago yesterday is that he was in some ways indirectly a father of the modern charismatic movement in the UK. Pastor after pastor in newfrontiers churches spoke of attending Westminster Chapel or the Doctor’s Ministers Fraternal. Not only did they find some of the clearest expositional teaching imaginable, but they found a teaching that for many of them sounded strange to their ears. Entirely consistently with his puritan...

Justin Taylor marks the death twenty-five years ago today of Dr D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones, who I would argue was THE finest English-speaking preacher of the twentieth century- whats with all the "one of the finest.." Justin? Justin also links to some places you can listen to the Doctor online and get his sermons. Read more
