Depressing Church Services

After a six month absence from the pulpit, six months spent visiting churches and simply attending church services, Martyn Lloyd Jones reports:

"My general impression is that most of our services are terribly depressing! I am amazed people still go to church; most who go are female and over the age of forty. The note missing is 'joy in the Holy Ghost'...There is no life, no power! We of all people ought to have it. Joy and power are intimately related. One without the other is spurious."
