015. Vol. 2, Ch. 2: Doctrine and Life

Life in Christ by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones

 

‘Astute’ is the word that comes to mind when we think of this chapter. The importance of doctrine being connected to life is on full display all throughout these pages. We hope the conversation is edifying in two ways (1) in seeing the utmost importance of living out the clear imperatives and instructions of Scripture, and (2) in discussing these specific doctrinal issues that come up in these verses. It is also worth noting that not all doctrinal problems and questions are worth entertaining, since some can be purely theoretical and have no impact on our actual practice. The main takeaway is that doctrine should not be sought after apart from a desire to live out the practical implications of that doctrine. Enjoy the episode!

 

Next week we will be discussing the reading from volume 2, chapter 3 of “Life in Christ” by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones (pages 171-179).
