In every era the church needs revival—certainly today as much as ever. And in the heart of every committed Christian there is the longing for personal revival—to know the quality and depths of spiritual reality, and the presence of God in one's personal life.This was the deepest desire of Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones, one of the great 20th-century Bible expositors. It was also the purpose behind this series of messages which were first given on the 100th anniversary of the Great Revival which started in Wales, and swept across England and throughout the United States and to the far corners of the world. As Dr. Lloyd-Jones recognized, it is a rare time in the history of the church when there is a great outpouring of the Holy Spirit— and a time of special interest of every Christian who longs for revival today.As Dr. J. I. Packer writes in his foreword, Dr. Lloyd-Jones believed in "the necessity of revival—that is, a quickening divine visitation—as the only vent that can avert ultimate spiritual disaster. The thrustful urgency of the sermons in this book testifies to the depth of his conviction that without revival in the church there is really no hope for the Western world at all."Dr. Lloyd-Jones deftly draws principles from the lives of Old and New Testament characters as well as expounding some of the great prayers of the Bible. Clearly and forcefully, he presents a masterful exposition of the circumstances accompanying revival in the past, why each generation needs it, and how it will come about today. We must come to the sovereign God, forsake our sin, and wait upon Him for this special, essential outpouring. God, bring us revival!

This substantial volume includes more than fifty never-before-published expository sermons on John 4 from one of the twentieth century's greatest preachers.It was just a conversation between two people by the side of a well in Samaria. One, a local woman, came to perform her daily task of drawing water. Another, a Jewish man tired from traveling, sat down for a drink. But he wasn't just any Jewish man, and this wasn't just any conversation. The man, Jesus, revealed himself as the Messiah, leading to the conversion of not only the Samaritan woman but many from her town.Now, for the first time, fifty-six sermons by Martyn Lloyd-Jones on this passage of Scripture are available in Living Water. Lloyd-Jones, known for his ability to clearly communicate profound theological concepts, digs into this familiar passage from the fourth chapter of the Gospel of John, exposing fresh layers of truth. His perceptive analysis is helpful for all who thirst for the living water that only Jesus can provide.

In a culture that views Christianity and the entire gospel message as a tedious religion or just a set of social mores, Lloyd-Jones acts as a herald to bring readers back to the basics. In describing what the kingdom of God is, Lloyd-Jones expresses the importance of looking back to Jesus, living a life dependent on him, and looking toward a future with God.First preached in the 1960s, a time of widespread doubt and uncertainty much like our own, these twelve sermons unfold the necessity and beauty of Scripture, the truth of what our hearts look like when we understand what the kingdom of God really is, and practical suggestions on how our lives have been changed by that truth. Anyone desiring to uncover-or rediscover-the heart of the Christian faith will be blessed by reading this book.

Some may object to my dogmatic assertions; but I do not apologise for them. Every preacher should believe strongly in his own method; and if I cannot persuade all of the rightness of mine, I can at least stimulate them to think and to consider other possibilities. I can say quite honestly that I would not cross the road to listen to myself preaching, and the preachers whom I have enjoyed most have been very different indeed in their method and style. But my business is not to describe them but to state what I believe to be right, however imperfectly I have put my own precepts into practice. I can only hope that the result will be of some help, and especially to young preachers called to this greatest of all tasks, and especially in these sad and evil times. With many others I pray that "The Lord of the harvest may thrust forth" many mighty preachers to proclaim ''the unsearchable riches of Christ!''

"One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple."-Psalm 27:4, KJVThe Psalms are treasures from those who earnestly sought the face of God. They are honest messages of sorrow, joy, praise, and wisdom from real people who experienced real struggles. In the psalmists' words we see their hearts open before God.In Seeking the Face of God, Martyn Lloyd-Jones unpacks nine passages from the Psalms and weaves them together with the everyday life of the world in which we live. His reflections are practical, powerful, and profound.For those just beginning to study the Psalms as well as those who know them well and wish to consider them from a new angle, this collection of sermons from one of the greatest preachers of the twentieth century will move your mind to greater understanding and your heart to deeper worship.

¿Por qué murió Cristo? ¿Cuál es el sentido de la cruz? Las teorías tradicionales se conciernen solamente con los beneficios para el hombre, pero como se demuestra por el Dr. Lloyd-Jones en esta exposición de Romanos 3:25-26, la cruz de Cristo sobre todo era una reivindicación del carácter santo de Dios.Dice el autor: "Este es una parte esencial del evangelio glorioso. En el calvario Dios hizo un camino de salvación para que usted y yo pudiéramos ser perdonados. Pero El tuvo que hacerlo de tal manera que Su carácter quedara inviolable, que Su eterna consistencia permaneciera absoluta e inquebrantable. Una vez que uno comienza a contemplar un tema como este, se da cuenta que ésta es el más tremendo, el más glorioso, el más asombroso del universo y en toda la historia humana."

Dice Martyn Lloyd-Jones: "Tenemos que levantarnos y entender nuevamente que aunque el evangelio es inmutable y sin modalidad, sin embargo, siempre es contemporáneo. Debemos confrontarnos con la actualidad y hablar al mundo una palabra que nadie más puede hablar." La predicación del Dr. Lloyd-Jones de 1938 – 1981 fue conocida por su énfasis en la "deplorable condición del hombre y el poder de Dios" para salvar. Su prédica siempre era clara sobre la soberanía de Dios en la salvación del hombre, una perspectiva que no suena bien para la cultura evangélica de hoy basada en programas, el pragmatismo y la auto-ayuda. Sin embargo, queda al corazón de lo que el mundo necesita oír. Basado en Romanos 1, este libro maravilloso le ayudará entender lo que es el evangelio para un mundo desenfrenado fuera de control."¿Qué es el Evangelio? ¿Podría usted resumirlo? ¿Se diferencia en algo del Evangelio de los cristianos de hace setenta años? En estos cinco mensajes (predicados en Edimburgo en marzo de 1941), el Dr. David Martyn Lloyd-Jones, célebre pastor de la Capilla de Westminster, en Londres, nos da la respuesta. Admiro la claridad y el poder de su predicación. (...) En estos mensajes, el doctor expone las pretensiones de quienes rechazan o intentan modificar el cristianismo bíblico, analizando la segunda mitad de Romanos 1 con gran claridad y con el poder del evangelio." Mark Dever, pastor principal de Capital Hill Baptist Church

La explicación última del curso de la historia de la humanidad es que, al fin y al cabo, no es más que el escenario donde tiene lugar un intenso conflicto entre Dios y las fuerzas del cielo, por una parte, y el diablo y las fuerzas del mal y del infierno por otra. La iglesia y los cristianos tienen que ser conscientes en todo momento de que "no tenemos lucha contra sangre y carne, sino contra principados, contra potestades, contra los gobernadores de las tinieblas de este siglo, contra huestes espirituales de maldad en las regiones celestes" (Efesios 6.12).El autor nos recuerda que el diablo actúa no sólo sobre los individuos, sino también sobre las naciones, y le atribuye a la obra destructiva de Satanás la confusión y el caos de la sociedad en que vivimos. También afirma que en una época en que vuelve a surgir la fascinación por la astrología, lo oculto, el espiritismo y las 'doctrinas de demonios', la ignorancia de estas cosas nos llevará irremediablemente a ser derrotados por ellas. Al mismo tiempo, nos recuerda que Dios tiene la victoria final puesto que ha fijado un día en que el diablo y sus fuerzas serán aplastados y el Señor Jesucristo, el Rey de justicia, reinará sobre todo."Este influyente volumen, No contra sangre y carne, es un excelente ejemplo del poder y de la duradera relevancia del ministerio del doctor. Es firmemente bíblico, exhaustivamente ortodoxo, espiritualmente urgente y teológicamente sólido. Aparte de estas cualidades, el libro destaca por su valiente y oportuno tratamiento de la guerra espiritual, uno de los temas de mayor actualidad del cristianismo hoy en día."R. Albert Mohler Jr.Presidente, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville, Kentucky

Al analizar este maravilloso salmo, el Dr. Martyn Lloyd Jones ve un gran coro, traído desde los cuatro extremos de la tierra, cantando unido, alabando a Dios. El autor usa las vívidas descripciones del salmista para subrayar la pura gracia de Dios, quien rescata a los pecadores del desierto, los libera de la prisión, los sana de la enfermedad y los salva de la tormenta.A lo largo de su magnífica exposición, el Dr. Martyn Lloyd Jones nos muestra la experiencia y el significado de la vida cristiana en contraste con la vida del mundano. Así el buen doctor nos enseña cómo se aplica el evangelio a las experiencias de la vida cotidiana, y nos lleva a alabar "las misericordias de Jehová, y sus maravillas para con los hijos de los hombres" con sincero agradecimiento.

Introduced by Kevin DeYoung. Why do good people suffer unjustly – and yet others get away with it? The Psalmist, Asaph, dealt with this very problem in Psalm 73 – one that has often perplexed and discouraged God’s people. Asaph reveals his own ‘no–holds–barred’ feelings and leads us step by step from near – despair to final assurance. For this reason it has always appealed to preachers and counsellors. An excellent book for those struggling with, or wondering about, injustice in the world.

Martyn Lloyd-Jones' preaching always had an emphasis on the desperate plight of man and the power of God to save. His preaching was crystal clear on the sovereignty of God in the salvation of sinners, a concept that does not sit comfortably in our day of pragmatism, programmes and self-help books. Nevertheless it remains at the core of what the world needs to hear. Based on Romans chapter 1, this wonderful book will help you understand what the gospel is. As we live in a world that seems to be spiralling out of control, you will want to hear this message again and again.

Introduced by Russell Moore. How do we respond to the sheer wonder of the incarnation of God’s Son? Mary responded to the announcement of the birth of the Saviour with a song of praise. Her words were deep and with feeling – truly an experience which had affected her inner being. Yes, she was confused at first but she was willing to submit to God. She praises God for His character and for keeping His promises even when circumstances seemed to contradict that with the long wait over centuries for the Messiah. In this delightful book, co–published with Bryntirion Press, Martyn Lloyd–Jones meditates on Mary’s Song of Praise and applies it to our lives. He looks at our response to God and how God deals with us. We find that the new birth is all of God and nothing of ourselves.
