Preaching &
Preachers
by D. MARTYN LLOYD-JONES
Dr. D. Martyn Lloyd-Joneshas been
described as "the last of the preach
ers." Although he would strongly re
fute the statement, no preacher in
Britain consistently attractssuch large
congregations or is held in higher
esteem.
"Why am I prepared to speak, and
to lecture on preaching? There are a
number of reasons," writes the author.
"It has been my life's work. I have
been forty-two years in the Ministry,
and the main part of my work has
been preaching; not exclusively, but
the main part of it has been preach-
ing. In addition it is something that
I have been constantly studying. I
am conscious of my inadequacies and
my failures as I have been trying to
preach for all these years; and that
has led inevitably to a good deal of
study and of discussion and of general
interest in the whole matter. But,
ultimately, my reason is that to me
the work of preaching is the highest
and the greatest and the most glorious
calling to which anyone can ever be
called. If you want something in ad
dition to that I would say without
any hesitation that the most urgent
need in the Christian Church is true
preaching; and as it is the greatest
and the most urgent need in the
Church, it is obviously the greatest
need of the world also."
