J.I. Packer (1926- ) referring to (David)Martyn Lloyd-Jones’ Preaching ( ) during an interview with Iain Murray (1931- ) “He took more of God into the pulpit with him than any other preacher I have ever known”
Iain Murray (1931- ) “Those of us who preach need to reflect on Dr. Packer's comment, repent daily of our pride and pray without ceasing that we take God, not ourselves, or Chris Rock, or our mastery of street talk or postmodernism, into the pulpit with us. A preacher should be remembered not for the numbers he once attracted or for his slick engagement with the wider culture but for whether he spoke the words of God as a man of God.”
