In one’s fight against depression, a person must deal with an incredible power: their feelings. In this sermon on 2 Timothy 1:6 titled “Feelings,” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones deals with the problem of feelings in the Christian life. Everybody wants to be happy. The problem is that no one can make themselves happy. The human is not a master of self and cannot produce feeling. Try as hard as one might, a person cannot generate true emotions. One’s feelings are dependent on factors seemingly outside of one’s control. As a matter of fact, feelings seek to control the person. The world refers to this as a mood. A person controlled by their feelings may be referred to as a “moody” individual. Dr. Lloyd-Jones explains that the Christian need not be controlled by their feelings. While feelings come and go, there is a great difference between rejoicing and feeling happy. Dr. Lloyd-Jones calls his listener to seek not happiness, but righteousness. The person seeking happiness will never find it. However, seeking after righteousness, the believer often discovers they are happy. The listener is encouraged to discover that Christians are called to seek Jesus Christ above all, and in Him is found lasting joy.
Blessed by this godly man who I see as the second Charles Spurgeon
I'll take the last few distorted minutes of Dr. Jones's expository teachings over any of the world's most orchestrated symphony!! BOOMSHACKALACKA!!
Excellent. If you are navigating MLJ’s sermons I recommend his sermon A More Excellent Way or the Power Within.
Very wise. Feelings are so misleading! May God grant us self-control over our feelings. 💪🏼
My God ❤ great teaching by the Dr .
It fascinates me how the very thing that could make man happy in these times of ours, they shun. This mans teachings could transform so many but look how few views this has.
So true!! It’s just so sad that the most important things are despised the most.
@curiousgeorge555 until April 2019 I would not have sought this or any other preaching on God’s Word. God opened my blind eyes in the middle of the night while I drove through the cold New Mexico desert. Boom! and then I saw Jesus for who and what He is. Not in His fullness, of course, but I saw the reality of His love for me when only a moment before I did not.
I pray daily for my three sons and my girlfriend that He will do the same for them as He has done for me. Who am I? Nobody. But for some inexplicable reason God has shown me mercy and granted me with faith. And now I believe and hold fast to Jesus Christ as my Savior and Lord.
I am glad that God has directed that these sermons of Martin Lloyd Jones be provided to His children.
I have been listening through the Spiritual Depression series from the page and it is so helpful.
Don’t mind the amount of views or likes. God is always at work in one way or another.
