“Now the moment the knowledge and the life are separated, we are lost. Yet they are being separated. There are some people who put the whole of their emphasis upon the doctrine, the objectivity, the theology, and they stop at that. But their lives are quite useless... But then a large number, the majority put their emphasis upon the second aspect only and exclude the first. Their whole emphasis is upon life and experience. We are living in a psychological age and we are all so subjective, we are always turning inwards, wanting this and that.”

David Martyn Lloyd-Jones was a Welsh Protestant minister and preacher 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 the liberal theology that had become a part of many Christian denominations, regarding it as aberrant. He disagreed with the broad church approach and encouraged evangelical Christians (particularly Anglicans) to leave their existing denominations, taking the view that true Christian fellowship was only possible amongst those who shared common convictions regarding the nature of the faith.
