If you look at your past and are depressed it
means that you are listening to the devil. - Martyn

Why believe the devil instead of believing God?
Rise up and realize the truth about yourself – that all the past has gone, and
you are one with Christ, and all your sins have been blotted out once and for
ever. O let us remember that it is sin to doubt God’s Word. It is sin to allow
the past, which God has dealt with, to rob us of our joy and our usefulness in
the present and in the future. - D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones, Spiritual Depression –
Its Causes and its Cures, Eerdmans, 1965, 76

David Martyn Lloyd-Jones (20 December 1899 – 1 March 1981) was a
Welsh Protestant
minister, preacher and medical
doctor who was influential in the Reformed wing
of the British evangelical
movement in the 20th century. For almost 30 years, he was the minister of Westminster Chapel in London.
Lloyd-Jones was strongly opposed to Liberal Christianity, which had become a part
of many Christian denominations; he regarded it as
aberrant. He disagreed with the broad
church approach and encouraged evangelical Christians (particularly Anglicans) to
leave their existing denominations. He believed that true Christian fellowship
was possible only amongst those who shared common convictions regarding the
nature of the faith.
