I leave you today with a quote from Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones on evangelism. The following quote was taken from the new book by Iain Murray, Lloyd-Jones: Messenger of Grace.

“There is a group of people who accept the wrath of God in theory, but they deny it in practice. ‘Oh, yes’, they say, ‘ we believe int he wrath of God, but you have to be careful. You don’t put that first.’ So, in the interstes of evangelism, in the interests of attracting people, they deliberatly do not start, as Paul does with the wrath of God [Rom. 1:18]. The tragedy is that we do not believe in the power of the Holy Ghost as the Apostle Paul did. Paul did not stop to ask, ‘Will the Romans like this doctrine?’ He knew it all depended on the Holy Ghost.”
