The Doctor: Preaching at Home the Best

I end with this question.  What kind of food can we take?  Are we still only capable of taking milk, or are we beginning to develop a taste for meat?  Are illustrations and analogies still essential, or do we know that our minds are expanding under the illumination of the Spirit and rejoicing in the deep things of God?  ‘The Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.’  I must confess that there is nothing which ever happens in my experience which depresses me more than the following. Sometimes when I am preaching away from him, and have preaches what I would have thought were the mere elements and beginnings of the Christian faith, people come to me and say, ‘You were making rather heavy demands upon us this evening’.  They add, ‘We are not accustomed to these deep things’.  Deep things! and I thought I was being elementary!  That occurs among Christians, and evangelical people.  – D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones, Romans Volume 5, p. 253
