It’s a most important lesson, this relationship between
doctrine and practice. And we’re always
wrong if our understanding of doctrine paralyzes us, makes us feel that there’s
no point in doing anything, and leads to the terrible result in which we actually
do nothing.” (Martin Lloyd-Jones)

Martin Lloyd-Jones on "Doing Nothing"
“If our understanding of doctrine has the effect of paralyzing
us, or making us do nothing, or making us feel that it’s no use being anxious
about your loved ones who are unsaved, or if it says that you need never pray
about them, that there’s no purpose in doing so, or never speak to them or
preach to them…well then, there’s only one thing to say, and that is, that you’ve
misunderstood the doctrine. Instead of
following the doctrine of the scripture, you’ve been following your own little
logic and your own little confined cramped reason, and you found yourself in a
position in which a Christian should never be.
