Welcome to Give Attendance to Reading, the podcast of Max, Charlie, and Zack Taylor. We are three brothers preparing for Christian ministry who love to read and talk, so we made this podcast. Here we offer summaries of and discussions around some of the best books in Christian literature, one chapter at a time. By listening in each week, not only will you hear a condensed, ”cliffs notes” synopsis of each book, but you will also get commentary on the topics discussed along with our take on how the information should translate to real-life application. Thanks for listening, let’s get into it!

Life in Christ by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones
The topic of how the believer should relate to the fear of the Lord is a deep one, but one with some really important implications for daily life. Should the believer fear the Lord? If so, why? How should the relationship change as the believer matures? Do we fear the judgment? What about assurance of salvation? We tackle all of these questions and more in today’s podcast.
Next week we will be discussing the reading from volume 4, chapter 15 of “Life in Christ” by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones (pages 549-559).

Life in Christ by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones
Today we discuss the different resurrections and judgments that are mentioned in Scripture in order to understand our passage in 1 John. We should be motivated by the judgment of Christ, and as believers, it is a comfort to know that we will not have to face the wrath of God. May we look to the judgment of Christ to help us prefect our love for God and for our brethren.
Next week we will be discussing the reading from volume 4, chapter 14 of “Life in Christ” by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones (pages 537-547).

Life in Christ by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones
In this episode we talk about defining love, dwelling in love, and displaying love to others without burning out. We think it will be an extremely helpful discussion for believers who are trying to live as Christ did. The topic of love is highly relevant in our increasingly divided culture, and we are glad we got to work through it in this recording. Let us know if you have anything to add to the discussion. You can get in touch through the email that is listed at the bottom of our podcast website.
Next week we will be discussing the reading from volume 4, chapter 13 of “Life in Christ” by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones (pages 527-535).

Life in Christ by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones
We delve into the objective and subjective sides of the love of God in today's conversation, and try to show how both are important. The Christian life must be guided by the truth, but these beliefs should result in real lived experiences for the Believer. There are several specific ways to know the love of God listed in the chapter, and we touch on those as well.
Next week we will be discussing the reading from volume 4, chapter 12 of “Life in Christ” by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones (pages 517-526).

Life in Christ by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones
Today we get to look at all that Jesus accomplished in our salvation and what it means that He is our Savior. Contrary to the opinion that Jesus is merely a good example for us to follow (which is a hopeless message that leads to despair), Jesus already accomplished our salvation and all we have to do is accept it. The saving work of Christ goes so far beyond His death on the cross for us, we have so much to be thankful for!
Next week we will be discussing the reading from volume 4, chapter 11 of “Life in Christ” by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones (pages 507-516).

Life in Christ by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones
God’s Word is certainly everything we need in this life to be sustained and guided in a life of obedience to the Lord. We are excited to discuss this lofty passage that emphasizes the coming of Christ to save us from our sin. We also talk about the role of the Holy Spirit in leading us into truth and the absolute authority of God’s Word. You don’t want to miss this episode!
Next week we will be discussing the reading from volume 4, chapter 10 of “Life in Christ” by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones (pages 497-506).

Life in Christ by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones
Every believer is on a journey towards sanctification, but that path is not always easy. There will undoubtedly be periods of varying emotions and experiences. That is not to say that some Christians have achieved a higher status or level of spirituality, however. We have all been given the full blessing of the Spirit of God at the one-time event of salvation. What we experience after that point depends on our closeness with our Father and whether we follow correct teaching, have correct motives, and live obediently to the impulses of the Spirit. The life God intends for us is really quite simple to understand, but quite hard to follow in this life. We certainly don’t have it all figured out, but we hope this discussion will resonate with you where you are in your walk with God.
Next week we will be discussing the reading from volume 4, chapter 9 of “Life in Christ” by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones (pages 485-495).

Life in Christ by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones
Continuing on the theme of our assurance, this chapter gives us three aspects of our Christian life: (1) that the essence of the Christian life is abiding in Christ, (2) that we can know that we have eternal life, and (3) that we can know this by the Spirit of God dwelling in us. We also discuss challenges of presenting Christianity properly to the lost around us and the benefits of the Spirit indwelling us.
Next week we will be discussing the reading from volume 4, chapter 8 of “Life in Christ” by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones (pages 473-483).
Our Approach
Everything we read and discuss is always filtered through our Christian worldview and 'taylored' (pun intended) specifically for other followers of Christ. So whether you are a lay Christian who enjoys Christian devotional literature or training for ministry yourself, we hope these discussions will be edifying to you. Throughout the show, we plan to cover a mixture of devotional, doctrinal, and Jewish history works.
