    Why does the Bible encourage sober-mindedness? Many are surprised that the Christian faith involves the mind at all, because they think that religion is inherently irrational. But in this sermon on 1 Peter 1:13, Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones shows how God calls Christians to use their minds to know Him. Christians are called to purposely think about God and the world as they are in a battle for the mind. This is a different message than what the world often tells people in an irrational age of celebrity worship and cults of personality. The world can give no account for the human mind, because Scripture tells that all are slaves to sin and their minds are wholly darkened. The Christian can only think about and understand the world when they receive the grace of God and come to new life in Christ. This sermon issues the call to leave behind sin and turn to Jesus who alone can save and renew a relationship with God.

    This is a powerful sermon on the need to think correctly. I will be listening to more of this man whom I've heard several times before but not with such great profit as I am now having.

    I found MLJ yesterday because i was listening to beloved finnish preacher Mauri Viksten (1920 - 1995). Viksten mentioned Martin Lloyd-Jones, so that's why i felt that Lloyd-Jones must've been preacher of God's mercy and forgiveness. I'm happy i found MLJ.

    Wow! "Because of the immensity of our scientific knowledge, we have stopped thinking and abandoned ourselves to the experts" (Martyn Lloyd-Jones)

    Tremendous! I thank the Lord for the day I was introduced to this great servant’s ministry. His books are most often made up of his sermons and they are therefore loaded with doctrine and its application to a believer’s life. This is the gold standard of preaching!

    So true
    TO BE SPIRITUALLY MINDED
    IS LIFE AND PEACE
    TO BE CARNALLY IS DEAD
    IN JESUS YOU HAVE A SOUND MIND
