"It is an appalling thought but it is nevertheless true, that there is such a thing as dead orthodoxy".
Dr Martyn Lloyd-Jones - "Revival" - Crossway Books, Wheaton (1987) - (p68).
"The man who never reads will never be read. He who never quotes will never be quoted. He who will not use the thoughts of other men's brains proves that he has no brains of his own ... You need to read" - C H Spurgeon. "To fail to learn from the pulpit of the past is to impoverish that of the present" - Tony Sargent

Dr Lloyd-Jones on Obsession with Orthodoxy
"Is there not a real danger of our becoming guilty of a very subtle form of Arminianism if we maintain that correct doctrine and understanding are essential to our being used by the Spirit of God ... I said that John Wesley was to me the greatest proof of Calvinism. Why? Because in spite of his faulty thinking he was greatly used of God to ptreach the gospel and convert souls.! That is the greatest proof of Calvinism, predestination and election".
Dr Lloyd-Jones - "The Puritans: Their Origins and Successors" - Banner of Truth Trust, Edinburgh (1991) - (p297).

Dr Lloyd-Jones on Smug Orthodoxy
"God forbid that in our desire to safeguard against certain errors, we should become guilty of quenching the Spirit. We can become so assured of ourselves and so much in control of the position that we are not giving the Spirit of God an opportunity".
Dr Martyn Ll0yd-Jones - "Romans Chapter 9" - Banner of Truth, Edinburgh (1991), (p328).
Dr Lloyd-Jones on Quenching the Spirit
"God forbid that any of the spirit of prejudice that was in the Jew should ever possess us and lead us to this pathetic position ... We must be orthodox but we must not be proud of it, we must not rely on it - even that. Let us realise this great lesson of the sovereignity of God, His great and glorious purpose; that it is He who calls and He calls whom He wills; He raises and He puts down".
Dr Martyn Ll0yd-Jones - "Romans Chapter 9" - Banner of Truth, Edinburgh (1991), (p328).
