• For Your Ears: New Attitude 2008 Conference Messages, MLJ Podcast

  Messages are now available here from the New Attitude 2008 Conference held in Louisville.

  I've not yet listened to Martyn Lloyd-Jones' latest message available on podcast * ("The Importance of Spiritual Growth, Part 2" on Ephesians 3:14-21). As I listened to Part 1 last week, the time flew by and the next thing I knew it was concluding...only to leave me hanging until this week...

  In Part 1 The Doctor quoted Spurgeon:

  "There is a point in grace which is as much above the ordinary Christian as the ordinary Christian is above the worldling."

  For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, 16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; 17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; 19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.

  20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, 21 Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.
  

  -Ephesians 3:14-21
  

  
  I'm thinking we are definitely treading on some most holy ground here. Luke 11:9-13; Isaiah 64; Luke 18:27.

  *The Martyn Lloyd-Jones messages are only archived on the website for about three months, but I encourage you to visit Living Grace at oneplace.com to listen to current messages by the Doctor.

  **Updated February 2013: Thanks to the MLJTrust (http://www.mljtrust.org/), as part of their collection of over 1600 of Dr. Lloyd-Jones' sermons (http://www.mljtrust.org/sermons/), you can download and listen to the entire sermon I cited above, "The Importance of Spiritual Growth" at http://www.mljtrust.org/sermons/the-importance-of-spiritual-growth/ –– which is the tenth sermon in the series of sermons which the Doctor preached on Ephesians 3.
