Discipline and the Modern Mind - SERMON #4175
A sermon preached on Ephesians 6:1-4 by Welsh minister Martyn Lloyd-Jones (1899-1981) on May 15, 1960
https://www.mljtrust.org/sermon/discipline-and-the-modern-mind/
| 2 | ‘There is a mind of the world, there's an outlook of the world. There is a worldly way, and everybody falls into that rut. But what is it that determines that? Well, according to, determined by, controlled by the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience [Ephesians 2, 2]. The devil is controlling this world mind, this world outlook. How does he do it? Well, here are some of the ways. We are told, for instance, that it is the devil who blinds the minds of men to the truth of God. You'll find that stated in the second epistle to the Corinthians in the fourth chapter in verses three and four. The apostle, you see, was preaching the gospel, and he is in that chapter dealing with the preaching of the gospel. And he says, well, it's obvious, he says, that everybody doesn't believe this gospel. Well, what is it that decides whether a man believes the gospel or not? Why is it that some people don't believe the gospel? And this is his answer. If our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost, in whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them that believe not, lest they believe. Isn't this important and significant?
The man of the world boasts about his freedom, talks about free thought. Now that is the supreme achievement of the devil, to persuade man that at the point where he is most burdened, that he is most free. Think of the many thousands, millions in the world this morning who are rejoicing in the fact that they're not christians because of their great minds, great brains, great understandings. It isn't that, you know. The tragedy of such people is that they've been blinded by the god of this world. They are not allowed to see. He's created this artificial mist, this obscurity. He's put these opacities into their very spiritual eyes and they can't see, they're blinded. And it's the god of this world, it is the devil who has done that. Now, it's very difficult for us as christian people to realise, as we should, that we should be filled with a sense of great compassion and sorrow for such people. It's difficult for us because of their arrogance, because of their pride. But we should feel sorry for them. They're the dupes, the slaves of the devil. They're blinded by him. They can't use their minds. The devil makes it impossible for them to do so. That is the supreme activity of the devil upon the mind of men. But, of course, it adds manifestations in other ways.’ [examples are immediately given]
The Wiles of the Devil - Sermon #4188
A sermon on Spiritual Warfare from Ephesians 6:10-13
https://t.me/Miscellaneous_Illuminations/7963 | 7 |
| 3 | 10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
Quoting from Paul's letter to the Ephesians, chapter 6, verses 10-18

2 Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah.
3 But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.
4 I cried unto the LORD with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah.
5 I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me.
6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about.
7 Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God: for thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly.
8 Salvation belongeth unto the LORD: thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah.

| 12 | ‘César Vidal analiza la ideología de género desde una perspectiva bíblica, cultural y espiritual, mostrando cómo esta agenda busca redefinir la naturaleza humana, influir en la educación de los hijos, manipular el lenguaje, transformar las leyes e incluso penetrar dentro del cristianismo.
En esta enseñanza se abordan temas como la familia, la educación, los medios de comunicación, la presión legislativa, la infiltración doctrinal y el llamado bíblico a que los creyentes no vivan con miedo, sino como sal y luz en medio de una generación confundida.

| 13 | 'Now take those words of the apostle Paul in Philippians 3. What a perfect expression he gives there to this very thing. He says, ‘Brethren I count not myself to have apprehended’ - he says ‘I haven't got full knowledge, I haven't arrived at perfection, what am I doing?’, well, he says, ‘what I'm doing is this: I am trying to apprehend that by which I have been apprehended’ - let me give you other words for it. He says, ‘I’m trying to lay hold on that which has laid hold on me’ - that's the thing. The Christian is a man who knows he's been laid hold of. In other words, he doesn't have to remind himself, he isn't spasmodic, it isn't occasional, it isn't something he picks up and puts down, it isn't like putting on a suit and taking it off again, no no, The thing has taken hold of him. He's not in control, he is being controlled by this and he's aware of this and he knows it. It isn't something up in the skies any longer, it isn't something that overshadows him, it's inside him. It’s in his heart, it's controlling him. You see the whole analogy proves that. What makes anybody a child is, well, he's got the blood in him, the blood of the parents, the nature of the parents, he belongs to the family, and this is true of the Christian, and he's got it inside him and he knows it and he feels it. It's not external in any sense, it's not a loose relationship, it's not a vague attachment, he's aware that this thing has got hold of him.’

1st half of this quote: https://t.me/Miscellaneous_Illuminations/7953 | 22 |
| 14 | ‘The difference between the Christian and the religious person is that the Christian is controlled by this thing, and HE doesn't control IT. Now there is another very valuable broad distinction. The man to whose relationship to it is this external one, is a man who has to remind himself of it constantly. He reminds himself it's Sunday, that's the day he is religious - perhaps the morning only - but he has to remind himself of it, or something else will remind him of it. He normally lives his life without thinking about it but there are certain set times or special occasions when he reminds himself of it, or is reminded of it by something that takes place. In other words, his religion is right outside of him. It’s almost something that he has in a bag and he takes up his bag on Sunday morning, puts it down again lunchtime Sunday, ‘that's all right for the week!’, that's his relationship to religion. You see, the point about him is that HE is controlling IT. He can take it up when he wants it, he lays it down when he doesn't want it. If he's in trouble, of course he prays and may read his Bible. If he's not in trouble he doesn't dream of doing so. Now there is the typical religious man. Because it's outside him, he is in control of it. It's something occasional, it is a kind of addition to his life, or it may be even worse than that, he may do it simply as a duty, he may do it as a task. You see that was the trouble with those Victorians. It was there. Now, many of them wished it wasn't there, that's why they jumped with such avidity at the famous book of Charles Darwin, The Origin of Species. You see, they really didn't like it, but they felt it was still there, it was like that cloud in the heavens, so they felt, as long as they were not sure that it wasn't true, well, you'd got to keep in with it. So they did it. They did it as a task, they did it as a duty, they did it because it was the right thing to do. It was very much the thing to do in the Victorian era, to go to a place of worship and to call yourself a Christian. But now, the whole time, they were controlling it and of course they did the minimum - just enough to make them feel that they were safe and they were all right and no more. Now there's the religious man. And I cannot see that from the scripture there is any reason whatsoever why such a man has any right to regard himself as a child of God. One of the greatest and the best tests is this: that you've been taken hold of by the thing.’
1st half of a quote from a sermon by Welsh minister Martyn Lloyd Jones (1899-1981) from about 16 minutes into ‘Has God's Life Come Into You?’ Sermon #1016 preached on April 7, 1963 | 20 |
| 15 | 'I remember reading some 3 years or so ago a phrase about the Victorians which I felt was very illuminating and which certainly helped me to understand this particular point. The man was writing about the Victorians and writing in particular about Matthew Arnold who was such a typical Victorian, and he used this phrase, he said, the trouble with the victorians was that their religion overshadowed them instead of penetrating them. I think that's a very profound remark. I think it is the key to the understanding of the so-called Victorian era, it really does tell us a great deal about them. He said their religion overshadowed them, instead of penetrating them. Now there is a very good statement of what I mean by this general relationship.
You see, to those people, their religion, their Christianity, was something as if it were a kind of cloud in the heavens. It was always there, it was overshadowing them, but it was 'there', it wasn't 'here', it didn't penetrate them. It was something apart from them, it was something outside them, external to them. Now, they were very conscious that it was there but it was this loose relationship. I think this man's expression puts it as perfectly perhaps as one can ever put it. And some of us know from experience perhaps exactly what he meant. You can be aware of these things, but you're only aware of them in that manner that it is outside you, as you're aware of the atmosphere, as I said that you may be aware of clouds in the sky keeping the sun away from you, you can't do anything about it but it's there, you are walking along the road down here and here is this thing hanging over you, as it were.
Now, to the man to whom religion is merely something that overshadows him, I would say that there is no question at all that he's not a Christian. That is not the relationship of the true Christian, the one who is indeed a child of God to these matters about which we are concerned.
Well, let me take that further by putting it secondly in this form, and it'll help to show what I mean. A very good proof of the fact that we are indeed children of God and not merely religious people - because that is the distinction that I have in my mind - it's one thing to be religious, it's another thing to be Christian. Surely this is something which doesn't need any proof or argument or demonstration, this is something quite basic: you can be religious, it doesn't mean that you're Christian there are many religious people in the world today who would tell you that they're not Christian.'

| 16 | ‘If we were to relate our experiences, every one of us in this congregation this morning, we would find a great variety in the mere details. There's only one way to become a Christian, that is to be born again, but looked at from the human worldly earthly standpoint there is a great deal of variation in the actual details of our history.
I mean, something like this, in particular: there are many here this morning who have always been brought up in what we call a religious manner. They were always taken to a place of worship. They may have gone to Sunday school as children. They've been taught the scriptures from the very beginning and they've always been in this particular atmosphere. Now that's one big, type of experience, but nevertheless they need to be born again like everybody else, and they have been, if they're Christians. You can't be a child of God without being born - not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. The fact that your parents were Christian doesn't make you Christian - it’s not of blood, it's of God - it's a spiritual rebirth that every one of us has to undergo, but that has been the background out of which they've come.
But there are others who now are Christians in exactly the same way, but their background was very different. They were not brought up like this. They didn't know what it was to be in a place of worship at all. They were completely ignorant of the scriptures. They had lived a life right out in the world without any knowledge of these things or any connection with them, but now they members of the church side by side with the others.'

| 17 | ‘Never, perhaps, has the whole position of the Christian faith been so uncertain, blatantly openly, it's being attacked even in the church, and that makes it doubly important for all of us to know exactly what we believe, above all, in whom we believe, doubly certain I say, of the fact that we know that we are the children of God, so that all these raucous voices will leave us quite unaffected, because we know what we believe and we are certain of it and we are rejoicing in it.
Well now then, we've been looking at various tests and they're applied here in the scriptures and provided for us in great profusion and abundance: our relationship to the Son. It is by believing in Him we become the children of God, it's those who believe on His name alone are the children of God, nobody else. Let them call themselves Christians if they will - if they don't believe in Him as the unique Son of God, if they don't believe in His Godhead in the literal fact and miracle of the Incarnation, in these miracles of His, in His atoning death and resurrection, they're just not Christians. I don't hesitate to assert that. We have to believe this. It's only by believing on His name we become Christians at all and become sons of God, and these other people, though they arrogate to themselves the name Christian, are liars, they are deniers of the truth and they are not Christian.
Now there must be no uncertainty about this. We mustn't fall into this modern error of imagining that the Christian is a nice flabby man who agrees with everybody and everything and who never criticises. According to the New Testament these antichrists are not only to be avoided, they are to be denounced, and we are to say, as John says of them in his first epistle, they were not of us. They were amongst us but they were not of us. And for myself, I have no fellowship with and I don't belong to the same church, as men who deny the very cardinal elements of the Christian faith and the plain teaching of the word of God. Very well my friends, we must be certain. We must be sure of our position. And above all, we must be certain and sure that we are the children of God.’

https://www.mljtrust.org/sermon/has-gods-life-come-into-you/ | 30 |
| 19 | 'Practice is needed to be good at sports, work, and family. Likewise, if to succeed against the flesh and pursue righteousness, one must put walking in the Spirit into practice. In John 1:12–13, Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones shows that the Christian must not sit passively by and “let go and let God.” Instead, the Christian has a distinct responsibility to work out their faith and Dr. Lloyd-Jones entreats Christians to break free from the flesh. He warns that a Christian can be lulled into leading a barren life, bearing no fruit for the kingdom of God. Therefore, the Christian must train themselves to walk according to the Spirit. Children of God must not merely sit passively, but instead actively pursue a life marked by the Spirit. God has forgiven, justified, and adopted the Christian, and yet they are often tempted to make little use of this newfound state of being. Dr. Lloyd-Jones teaches that the Spirit and the flesh are not merely opposed, but that they war against each other. Dr. Lloyd-Jones offers hope to the Christian who has not gained success in fighting the flesh: walk by the Spirit and they will not gratify the desires of the flesh.'
