Quotes by Lloyd Jones

If you have tried to do something and failed, you are vastly better off than if you had tried to do nothing and succeeded.

The men who try to do something and fail are infinitely better than those who try to do nothing and succeed.

The greatest tragedy in the world is a divided church. We must come together. So don't start talking about doctrine, because if you do, we shall be divided. But there is one thing we can do. We may not be able to agree about doctrine, but we can always pray together.

Prayer, Jones writes, is the best test of an individual, and it is also the best test of a church. A church can be flourishing: She can be successful in terms of organizations, she can be tremendously active and appear to be prosperous, but if you want to know whether she is a real church or not, examine the amount of prayer that takes place.
