Martyn Lloyd-Jones.
-(1899–1981)
-Pastor and Medical Doctor
-Reformed
Martyn Lloyd-Jones was a Welsh Protestant minister, preacher, and medical doctor who was influential in the Reformed wing of evangelicalism in the 20th century. He is considered by many evangelical leaders today to be an authority on biblical truth and the sufficiency of Scripture. He received a medical degree from London University and became a Member of the Royal College of Physicians. After struggling for two years over what he sensed was a calling to preach, in 1927, he returned to Wales with his wife, Bethan, and accepted an invitation to minister at a church in Port Talbot, Whales. He was then called to minister at Westminster Chapel in London, where he remained for 30 years. Lloyd-Jones was known for expository preaching, often lasting 50 minutes to an hour. He would take many months, even years, to expound a chapter of the Bible verse by verse, and his sermons drew thousands. He preached for the last time in 1980 at Barcombe Baptist Chapel. After a lifetime of work, he died peacefully in his sleep in 1981.
