"Dr Lloyd-Jones died on Sunday 1st March, 1981. I well
remember announcing his passing to an emotional evening congregation. Two
decades later came the end of the twentieth century; a century unique in the
history of Britain as the only one since the Reformation without national
revival...
...Perchance the Church is still too
fond of attempting to find solutions to its own problems and has not yet come
to an end of itself. As Britain slips inexorably towards its likely dénouement
as a disunited group of atheistic republics, and as its national Churches stand
in jeopardy of having their candlesticks removed, we dare not lose sight of
Martyn Lloyd-Jones' confidence in God's intervention, in answer to prayer, as
the true remedy for spiritual decline. If his message had currency in the 1960s
and 70s, how much more relevant is it today."
