The Moody Individual
Sermon on 2 Timothy 1:6
For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands, (ESV)
In one’s fight against depression, a man must deal with an incredible power: his feelings. In this sermon on 2 Timothy 1:6, Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones deals with the problem of feelings in the Christian life. Everybody wants to be happy. The problem is that no one can make themselves happy. The human is not a master of self and cannot produce feeling. Try as hard as you might, a man cannot generate true emotions. One’s feelings are dependent on factors seemingly outside of one’s control. As a matter of fact, feelings seek to control us. The world refers to this as a mood. A person controlled by their feelings may be referred to as a “moody” individual
