Welcome to Give Attendance to Reading, with Max and Charlie Taylor. This podcast was born out of our love for reading and discussing theology and Christian ministry, and it has grown to include topics such as culture, geo-politics, and practical Christian living. Our goal is to cover the best books in Christian literature, one chapter at a time. By listening in each week, not only will you hear a summary of each book, but you will also get commentary on the topics discussed along with our take on how to apply the information to our everyday lives. Thanks for listening, let’s get into it!

Life in Christ by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones
How do we view God’s Word and His commandments? What is the world? And what does it mean to be an overcomer? We discuss these questions on today’s episode as we continue through the final volume of this deep dive in 1 John by Martyn Lloyd-Jones.
Next week we will be discussing the reading from volume 5, chapter 4 of “Life in Christ” by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones (pages 595-603).

Life in Christ by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones
In a slight change of pace, Jones spends the majority of this message on the writing style of John rather than the specific content of this chapter, and it is really good to read and talk about! How can we better view the Christian life as a walk that encompasses every aspect of our lives? How can we take inventory of how we are doing in our growth in Christlikeness? May we live our whole lives for Him.
Next week we will be discussing the reading from volume 5, chapter 3 of “Life in Christ” by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones (pages 585-594).

Life in Christ by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones
This is one of our most in-depth conversations on why we disagree with reformed theology, since it comes out so heavily in this chapter. It is good to reflect on the gospel, and defining what a Christian is Biblically is a good exercise in our articulation of sound doctrine. We also discuss the common bond that believers share and our confidence in our eternal security.
Next week we will be discussing the reading from volume 5, chapter 2 of “Life in Christ” by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones (pages 575-584).

Life in Christ by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones
Love for the brethren is a natural result if we have experienced the love of God. The struggle oftentimes is moving beyond the thought of love to actually putting that love to practice in our daily lives. It requires viewing people the way God views them, treating each other as the spiritual family we are, and making the choice to esteem each other better than ourselves. May we practice more of this brotherly love as we go throughout our week.
Next week we will be discussing the reading from volume 5, chapter 1 of “Life in Christ” by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones (pages 565-574).

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).
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.
