Iain Murray on the Misuse of Truth

"Because a truth can be misused, it is no argument that it must be wrong".

Iain Murray - "Lloyd-Jones - Messenger of Grace" - Banner of Truth, Edinburgh (2008) - (p39).

Dr Lloyd-Jones on Excess and Enthusiasm

"There is no problem of discipline in a graveyard; there is no problem very much in a formal church. The problems arise when there is life. A poor sickly child is not difficult to handle but when that child is well and full of life and of vigour - well then you have your problems. Problems are created by life and by vigour, and the problems of the early church were spiritual problems, problems arising because of the danger of going to excess in the spiritual realm".

Dr Martyn Lloyd-Jones - "Joy Unspeakable" - Kingsway, Eastbourne (1995) - (p19).

Dr Lloyd-Jones on Results of the Baptism of the Holy Spirit

"It is an occasion in which the reality of divine things becomes plain, in a way that it has never been before and in a sense, never is again, so that they can look back to it; it stands out in all it's glory. And therefore this is something which we should seek. But so many, because of their fear of excesses have never even sought it and have felt that it is wrong and dangerous to seek it and thereby they have put themselves out of the category that includes these great men of God whose experiences we have just been considering".

Dr Martyn Lloyd-Jones - "Great Doctrines of the Bible - Volume 2" - Crossway Books, Wheaton (2003) - (p251).

Bill Johnson on Excesses of Many who have feared the excesses made by others in the name of faith have ironically embraced unbelief. Reaction to Faith

"Many who have feared the excesses made by others in the name of faith have ironically embraced unbelief. Reaction to error usually produces error. Response to truth always wins out over those who react to error. Some people would have no belief system were it not for the error of others. Their thoughts and teachings are the antithesis of what others believe and practice. As a result those who strive for balance become anemic. The word balance has come to mean middle of the road—of no threat to people or the devil, with little risk, and above all…the best way to keep our nice image intact".
