This is something that happens to you: it is God dealing with you, and God acting upon you by His Spirit; it is something you become aware of rather than what you do. It is thrust upon you; it is presented to you and almost forced upon you constantly in this way.

Martyn Lloyd-Jones
Martyn Lloyd-Jones (1899–1981) war ein walisischer Arzt und reformierter Prediger, der von 1939 bis 1968 als Hauptpastor an der Westminster Chapel in London wirkte. Bekannt wurde er für seine fortlaufende, detaillierte Schriftauslegung sowie seinen kirchenpolitisch umstrittenen Aufruf an Evangelikale, sich von theologisch liberalen Großkirchen abzuspalten. Heutigen Bibellesern bieten seine Predigten und Auslegungen ein Modell dogmatisch präziser, versweiser Texterklärung mit seelsorglicher Ausrichtung.
