Life in Christ by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones   What does it mean to be a Christian? What would you say is the essence of Christianity? This question is explored in this week’s episode as we seek to explain what fellowship with God is, what it is not, and how it is practiced. Topics such as support for Israel, prayer, and closeness with God are major themes in the conversation. We hope this episode makes you think about what it means to share life with God.   Next week we will be discussing the reading from chapter 8 of “Life in Christ” by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones (pages 83-92).

Life in Christ by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones   “That which we have seen” refers to Christ, and it is He Who is the pinnacle of the chapter we are discussing this week. We will see that Jesus can only be fully appreciated through a proper view of sin. This is one reason we cannot shy away from the honest preaching against sin if we want to cultivate real fellowship with God. We will also discuss the problem of setting up barriers to Christ, Who should be everything we need! We hope you will be encouraged to examine yourself and return to Jesus if there is anything hindering full fellowship with Him!   Next week we will be discussing the reading from chapter 7 of “Life in Christ” by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones (pages 73-81).

Life in Christ by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones   In today’s episode, we have some friendly debate about the experience the Christian is to have and the dangers of false views of sanctification. The discussion is a little longer than typical, but we want to share most of what was recorded so you get the full critique and the overview of assurance at the end (don’t worry, we end on a good note)! Also, if you are confused as to why we start laughing around the 12:40 mark, our dog was trying to squeeze behind Charlie’s chair and kept bumping into him. We couldn’t hold it in! Anyways, although we may agree to disagree at times, it is great to have these discussions and we hope that listening to these conversations makes you think about these important topics. Thank you for listening!   Next week we will be discussing the reading from chapter 6 of “Life in Christ” by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones (pages 63-71).

Life in Christ by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones   The solution to the troubles we face is found in Jesus Christ. Mentioned in the opening words of verse one, He is the main theme of these first three verses we are looking at in 1 John. This chapter is a good reminder of the incarnation of Christ and the special revelation of God’s Word to man. May we let it guide our lives and produce the joy, assurance, and fellowship God intends for us.   Next week we will be discussing the reading from chapter 5 of “Life in Christ” by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones (pages 53-62).

Life in Christ by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones   Welcome to part 2 of the discussion on the Christian’s joy. In this episode we summarize the outline for the whole book of 1 John as given by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones and offer our own thoughts of this extensive material. We were at first unsure how the conversation would go since it is not easy to talk about an outline, but we walked away encouraged from the time we spent talking about not only this book of the Bible, but also principles that are true of all of Scripture. We think you will be refreshed by today’s recording.   Next week we will be discussing the reading from chapter 4 of “Life in Christ” by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones (pages 43-52).

Life in Christ by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones   Today we begin a two-part discussion on the joy that every believer has access to. So what does this mean Christians shouldn’t be? What are the implications to fear and living for regulations? What is joy and what is it not? All of these questions will be tackled in our collaboration. Really, it goes back to delighting in Christ and in His Word on a daily basis. We hope this episode is a good mix of education and exhortation.   Next week we will be discussing the reading from chapter 3 of “Life in Christ” by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones (pages 33-42).

Life in Christ by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones   In our first full episode, we are discussing how the Christian relates to the world. As Christians, we are essentially different from the world because we know and are assured that we are of God and we know that the whole world lieth in wickedness. We discuss what Jones and the three of us view as the central theme of 1 John, the difference between the Christian and the world, what it means to be Christians in the midst of a lost world, and practical things such as feeling alone, the possibility of a world-wide revival, implications of Calvinism, what it means to be certain, and praying for the world around us. Thank you for listening despite the Max’s hoarse voice, and we hope today’s longer episode lays some of the groundwork for the study of this book.   Next week we will be discussing the reading from chapter 2 of “Life in Christ” by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones (pages 23-31).
