The Highway Forums Announcements What's New on The Highway website? "The Only Way" by D. Martin Lloyd-Jones

This month's Article of the Month deals with the "narrowness" of the Christian Faith and the message which the Church has and must preach and teach. Here is a short quote by the author:

But let me state my thesis positively. The claim of the Christian faith quite openly and specifically is that it - and it alone - can deal with this problem. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is not one of a number of theories and teachings and philosophies confronting the world. It is unique, it stands absolutely alone. The Bible is not one book among many books. It is God’s Book, it is a unique Book, it is the Book, standing apart from all the others. We must emphasize this because it is the whole basis of the Christian faith. The Church is not one of a number of institutions; she claims to be quite unique as an institution; she says she is the body of Christ. We speak because we have a revelation. The Bible does not provide us with a theory, a speculation, an attempt to arrive at truth. The position of all the men who wrote the books of the Bible is akin to what the Apostle says about himself in the third chapter of this Epistle to the Ephesians: ‘For this cause, I, Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles, if you have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward: how that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery’.

With the current fad of the "emerging church" with its "marshmallow message", the Church of the Lord Christ stands firm upon the "Rock" and speaks in absolutes, specifics and demands obedience to the God of the universe. Lloyd-Jones therefore begins his article from Ephesians 6:10, 11 with counsel to stand firm.
