Logic on Fire: The Life and Legacy of Dr. Martin Lloyd-Jones

I put aside the books this evening to watch Logic on Fire: The Life and Legacy of Dr. Martin Lloyd-Jones, and I highly recommend it to you. The documentary chronicles how Lloyd-Jones came to faith, his transition from the medical field to theology and the pastorate at Westminster Chapel in London.

His emphasis on keeping Christ central in the church is a much needed admonition even today. It tells the story of how he impacted those who sat under his preaching as well as the influence he has had on many who were interviewed for the filming, some who knew him personally.

Lloyd-Jones is shown as a caring pastor as well as a beloved father and grandfather, with interviews with his daughters and grandchildren as they talk about his home life and his personal, familial side.

When his younger daughter Ann married, they all bought a big house together and lived there until he died. Martin and his wife Bethan (who was also a doctor) helped with the grandchildren as they were growing up. In return, Ann helped care for her parents when they grew older. A sweet story of family love and care. So unlike today as many evangelical pastors preach to "hate your father and mother and children" so you can serve God alone. To Martin Lloyd-Jones, his family was part of his ministry and he served God by serving them as well as his congregants. Not one or the other, but both and.

We watched Logic on Fire on Amazon Prime, or you can purchase the DVD. If you click on the image, it will take you there. Or you can go to the Logic on Fire homepage where you can watch a couple of trailers and read about some of the contributors to the documentary who sat under Dr. Lloyd-Jones ministry or whose ministries have been influenced by him, as well as some extra interview coverage.
