A Sermon For The Reformed....And The Conservative Evangelical

                There are four trees in our yard. At one time there were five....two of them were so close together that they appeared as one. There was such a golden brilliance in the fall that people would stop just to admire....hopefully the glory of God's creation. One of those trees died from disease and had to be cut down. The brilliance is still there but no one stops by just to gaze. The tree directly in front of our house never turns a brilliant gold! It blooms green early in the Spring but then in the fall....well after the other trees have turned gold and red....it just becomes a pale green....as the leaves just fall when they want. Right now....November 1....the other three trees have turned colors and the leaves fallen....while the fourth tree lingers....more of an eyesore.
               There is a sermon that I would like to recommend to you from Martyn Lloyd-Jones. As the title I gave to this post implies....it seems directed to reformed believers....really any conservative evangelical today....and I would also hope that some pastors read it....for too often we become the tree that can be a rich green....but never brilliant. The sermon can easily be Googled at....Martyn Lloyd-Jones sermon....The Lukewarm Church.
