Bible Note: Hi Doc, I so agree with both your recent posts. I remember Dr Martyn Lloyd Jones that great reformed Gospel preacher telling how one week he had preached a stirring and very clear and detailed message about the way of salvation. When he was standing at the door afterwards a man approached him and said 'Dr Lloyd Jones, I enjoyed your message. I was so pleased to find that you agreed with me that as long as we live a good life we have nothing to worry about.' It was a clear case of someone simply hearing what they wanted to hear. I think some people read posts in the same way. Best wishes |
