Science; Morality and God
A Sermon on Romans 7:22-25
Scripture
22For I joyfully agree with the law of God in the inner person, 23but I see a different law in the parts of my body waging war against the law of my mind, and making me a prisoner of the law of sin, the law which is in …
22For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: 23But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. 24O wretched man that I …
Sermon Description
In all of humanity’s technological achievement in the past century, why is it still dealing with the same problems that have been throughout history? Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones explains that fraud, theft, murder, and infidelity all have wreaked havoc within every family, regardless of their technological or financial ability. In this sermon on Romans 7:22–25 titled “Science, Morality, and God,” he explains why people can conquer the pull of gravity and venture into space, yet are unable to free themselves from the clutches of their own fallen morality. Dr. Lloyd-Jones points to the true problem, which is more powerful than any force of nature: sin. Sin affects every faculty of one’s being, separating them from God and leaving them living eternally pointless lives. Humankind is indeed a slave to sin regardless of scientific discovery, but in this sermon, Dr. Lloyd-Jones will point to the only One who is more powerful than sin.

Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones
Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones (1899-1981) was a Welsh evangelical minister who preached and taught in the Reformed tradition. His principal ministry was at Westminster Chapel, in central London, from 1939-1968, where he delivered multi-year expositions on books of the bible such as Romans, Ephesians and the Gospel of John. In addition to the MLJ Trust’s collection of 1,600 of these sermons in audio format, most of these great sermon series are available in book form (including a 14 volume collection of the Romans sermons), as are other series such as "Spiritual Depression", "Studies in the Sermon on the Mount" and "Great Biblical Doctrines". He is considered by many evangelical leaders today to be an authority on biblical truth and the sufficiency of Scripture.
