Joan Bakewell Interviews Dr. Martyn Lloyd Jones

Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones is interviewed by Joan Bakewell in December 1970

[@RedMcc]

His beauty in articulating the gospel is immensely edifying.

[@dannygallivan8693]

Yeah, great point. It really is!

[@howardking3601]

I have never seen a better example of speaking the truth in love. The Doctor is immoveable and gracious. Great interview!

[@GospelMeetsBushcraft]

This was so refreshing to see an actual civil dialogue between two people. No yelling or extreme emotion. Just respect, courtesy, and intelligent dialogue. So much different than public debates nowadays.

[@EIenchus]

anthony w. Well said i came across Lloyd Jones years ago because out of all the books i was reading, most of the writers had made some reference to his works. Im convinced that John MacArthur got his preaching style directly from this guy.

[@allbetsRoff60]

Oh, how refreshing to hear truth without wavering. Have we dug ourselves so deeply into the muck and mire of modern thought that we cannot separate fact from fiction and when you hear a man with such biblical conviction; we can't help but sigh with relief?

[@shirlenealleyne8766]

Jennifer Bynum I will agree with you ...God led me to his page and I have not stop listening...to his sermons...In his sermon Narrow Way he spoke of today’s church trimming and clipping the message of God Word.

[@oksills]

Simply answered.....YES!!!

[@knowinggod_today]

What a master class from the doctor, where are all the church leaders like him today? 😭 Please God send more 🙏

[@curiousgeorge555]

Timothy Keller comes to mind.

[@peterjansen3846]

The gospel, as it should be preached today, but rarely is. We need more preachers like Dr Lloyd Jones.

[@moussicalaghan8677]

It is of course a master class by Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones, profoundly refreshing. But we must also admire those times when interviewers actually listened to the answers given, allowing enough time for response. Greetings from a french fellow believer.

[@dawsonmurray4188]

"This is not the first time a minority has been right." -Martin Lloyd Jones. That's perfect!

[@seeturnervideos]

Hearing this man is like drinking fresh water in a desert. What he said in 1970 is just as relevant today!

[@RuachNation82]

He never waivered. A true man of God.

[@TheNewyawker82]

Much like the host, I could not stop smiling as I listened to Dr. Lloyd Jones. He was just a brilliant, gifted preacher of the Gospel. Thank you for this amazing interview.

[@rodrigoavila6734]

May God raise up more faithful men like "the Doctor" in this generation.

[@MCCXK120]

This message should be preached today from every pulpit in the land. It is profound truth and eloquently delivered.

[@villarrealmarta6103]

This was back in the seventies, spoken by a man born in 1800s. Pastors today do not speak this way anymore, and those who do are not out in the open. There is a famine of the Word of God as Amos said.

[@johnsimmons3844]

Some of us pastors do aspire to! But the Doctor was especially anointed by God.

[@TheDavidBarraza]

There is a few nowadays.. John MacArthur, Voddie Baucham, Paul Washer etc.

What a joy and a treat to hear and watch the Doctor defend and explain biblical doctrine. Thank you to the MLJ Trust and Dame Joan Bakewell for making this video available to the masses.

[@kiahreece5527]

I love the quote, “ I preached to 2,100 in Glasgow and politicians cannot get 50 to listen to them.” How true. Great interview!

[@dancole673]

This is such a blessing to see and hear the man of whom I have read so much the past 30 years. When I became a Christian at age 20, his sermons on Romans 6 was the first Christian book outside the Bible I read. I was in the Marine Corps at the time and preached Romans 6 to a group of Marines, one of which came to Christ. The whole company was a buzz about Jesus. Unbeknownst to me, the Spirit of God was preparing me as I read Lloyd-Jones sermons on Romans 6 to be a witness. I was powerfully moved in reading his sermons. Though dead, he still speaks! Thank you for sharing this!!

[@richardmortimer8147]

Wow! That is so fantastic. Praise the Lord!

[@theelizabethan1]

The book, "Spiritual Depression," a collection of his sermons recorded by his secretary, was a staple on book tables at Campus Crusade for Christ gatherings. Had great positive impact on students.

[@roryjasonmartin]

Makes me wish we had men like this being interviewed today; what confidence and conviction

[@ralphperez2735]

Here we are 50 years later and what he is saying applies today as if I turned on TV from last night! How applicable for today!

[@CoramDeo1977]

[@mrhedgetrimmersons-gardene631]

Absolutely brilliant. A true man of God

[@motykdot]

Such an encouraging interview and yet let us Christians never forget that it is not the Doctor but the God of the Doctor that deserves praise and was working through Him. Therefore if He did it before He can (and will) do it again. Be encouraged!

[@jeremyfuller7998]

well said

[@rofansdotnet]

This interview is based on biblical truth and therefore will always be relevant.

[@britcornjam]

The Doctor at his best. O God, raise up men like MLJ today.

[@ForensicPI]

Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones is a hero of the faith. He would roll over in his grave if he saw what is going on with America’s evangelicalism. When preaching, you won’t hear Jones deploying comedy, jokes, stories, or cool clichés, in attempt to arouse the crowd.

[@luchik63]

Like the Queen of Sheba before the wisdom of Solomon, the interviewer of Dr Martyn Lloyd-Jones finds all of her questions answered and more besides by the wisdom of God's Word through the ready responses of Dr. Lloyd-Jones. He clearly states the reality of Christianity to the pressing objections of the world system.

[@jazzman1626]

His delivery reminded me of 1 Corinthians 2:5 "And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power":

[@JohnM-oo7io]

Superb! He shows such godly strength yet at the same time such godly humility!

[@villarrealmarta6103]

That is the greatest interview on the conclusion of mans greatest need I've ever heard in my life.

[@obsidiongamer7651]

What a legend , now enjoying life in eternity with his Lord & saviour .

[@777STEFANDANKO]

Praise God for men of God as Lloyd Jones was. We desperately need more men as Martyn in this age.

[@victoredwards0530]

My goodness! The whole world, and particularly the Christian world, needs to hear this. This is most edifying to believers and needs to find an audience among all Christians.

[@Chesterbarnes1]

Dr. D. Martyn Lloyd Jones to me was a blessing an a spiritual asset in my own ministry of over 30 years. I only wish our gracious Lord would have given me half of his spiritual and mental mantel. I recommend every preacher of the gospel read his books, and listen to several of his sermonic messages on various subject. I believe the Holy Spirit literally poured himself into Jones. Whenever I read his sermons I'm griped in a vice and feel as if I can't get out. God bless his memory... Rev. R. L. Addison Hampton Va., What a great man of God!

[@beaupierrebondurant5651]

Martyn Lloyd Jones is one of my heroes of the faith.

[@isaiahceasarbie5318]

Uncompromising and bold. Thank God for The Doctor.

[@david1238880]

Dame Joan was very gracious in her interviewing. How wonderful it would be if as a result of the interview she committed her life to Christ. We need more preachers like ‘the doctor’ as he was affectionally known.

[@billkristinaholland814]

This is far and away my favorite interview. There was only one Martin Lloyd Jones, and he was arguably the Greatest Expositor of the Gospel who ever lived! He always tells the WHOLE Truth of man.

[@rodmitchell8576]

Such a humble and Godly man.

[@courtneydaniel08]

So glad that I have been introduced to MLJ. Absolutely brilliant!

[@BigG99]

This was so good! the man can off the cuff, articulate deep faith better then those who have the time to write entire books. God is good in raising up such men.

[@BigG99]

***** me too

[@micahmartin4762]

***** The entire audio sermons are here: www.mljtrust.org/collections/book-of-romans/ Although he did not finish Romans. Very meticulous, very careful, great interpretations of the text.

[@Ade23514]

"Christ we claim is unique, you musnt put anybody near Him...because He is the only begotten Son of God. This isn't my theory, this is Christianity'. Glory to God. This is what Paul must have meant when he says the word came with much 'assurance'. This is what the world needs men who believe the truths they preach.

[@Johlibaptist]

The Doctor's books sell well in the 21st century. He was one of the greatest preachers of all time in Welsh and English.

[@FarmerDen]

Truly amazing thank you Dr Martyn Lloyd Jones . Father God , Raise up more more men like this to reach the lost in this day in our Nation . This interview so blessed and encouraged and challenged me also.

[@protocon59]

This was the best 19 minutes and 14 seconds I have spent in quite a while! :) Glad to see he summed it up well with the law as our schoolmaster and our failure to the law and our need of a Savior. The Biblical way, not mans. Thank you. :)

[@MrDerbee]

What a wonderful thing to hear M.L.Jones speak off the cuff, while filled with the Holy Spirit. In this interview we have the glory, truth and power of the Gospel demonstrated by an "able minister"; 2 Cor.3:6-12. O, that we could hear such men of God today!

[@nicolapicola4502]

How amazing to hear MLJ answering these questions, 1970, and yet still being asked today! The answers are there, whether we accept them or not - MLJ answered these questions so well, and it was refreshing to hear the interviewer be silent long enough for him to properly and clearly answer her questions without her constantly trying to "drive" or "steer" the interview or cut him off mid-answer. You won't see that very often these days.

[@DanielaCMYPAGE2017]

I love this so much...my son brought me to listen to him..I never heard it put this way and makes perfect sense...

[@TheMusicofKathleenVick]

Here is vivid proof of Dr. Martyn Lloyd Jones' greatness in witnessing to the truth of the power of God in Christ - so patient, so kind, so honest upon every point, with kindness, not wavering from the truth of God as revealed in Scripture. Here we are, 2014, and this discussion couldn't be more relevant to the problems of our day. I take away many points raised by the Doctor from this interview, but especially this one: "Man is not autonomous". God made man perfect with a full capacity to love his Creator and love his wife. But man, in sinning against God, became a hopeless rebel with no future but death. Man must be reconciled to God in the atoning blood of the Lamb of God, This is his greatest need and it precludes all others. Ah, but what about poverty, sickness, man's need for self-expression? Dr. Lloyd Jones closes the loopholes by saying that man was designed by God, belongs to God and can by grace alone, attain to his highest office, which is love to God and hatred of his sinful self. Yes, the years have rolled by and Dr. Lloyd Jones is in heaven with the LORD Jesus Christ. He has left a rich legacy of teaching and preaching behind and we remember him for his love and submission to his Creator. He will continue to encourage millions of people in the faith of Christ. Sadly, Dame Bakewell is rather well-baked, one might say, after years of "expressing herself". Please, "be ye reconciled to God". Come to the LORD Jesus, Dame Bakewell, and know the glory of eternal life which God freely gives in the blood of His Dear Son. Not the righteous, but sinners, Jesus came to save.

I love this interview. M.L.J. as always filled with the Spirit, he might as well have had Jesus sitting in the next chair. People opt to live in utter chaos & confusion, cause that's what they're into. There's not excuse for it what-so-ever. As Mr. Jones says they're REBELS. PRICELESS!!!!!!

[@rogeraquino1031]

Only a few preachers today teach and preach like Dr Martin Lloyd Jones, we have strayed to far from the true gospel, we have been so self and man centered in our preaching and teaching.

[@garebear1364]

Great interview and timeless in its truth! What a bold yet humble man of God. John MacArthur called him “the greatest expositor of the 20th century.” Very grateful to hear - and see - one of the greatest physicians of the soul that the church has ever had. Soli Deo Gloria!

[@dougblair8242]

Whoever posted this should receive a strong handshake and a brotherly kiss on the cheek for publishing a very tight and convincing summary of our Mess by a razor-sharp evangelical heart. He does not lose any momentum in responding to the challenges of intolerance and dogmatics. He presents very clearly the "authoritative message" of the New Testament (John chapters 10 and 14). (I think that the interviewer may have been rejoicing inside as she watched this Expositor knock down the pins of liberalism, one by one.) Bravo!

[@berth8539]

[@maxmagic]

incredible, Sadly Dame Joan hasn't yet felt able to accept Christ in her heart despite visiting various churches and falling in Love with a Quaker. She was eventually unable to say the good old creed because it didn't sit right. For many the idea of believing requires some kind of persuasive feeling and I've learned that believing is simply a fact and an act..feelings follow. If only our modern preachers had the conviction and clarity of Dr Martins exposition. Thanks Dame Joan for putting this up, you have taken me back to my childhood, I use to listen to tapes of the Dr, growing up in Devon.
