Jesus Rose, the NT was Written, then I was Born

The title of this post is obviously untrue, but it is sad to me how little I have cared about the rest of Christian history.  Sure, I know about Augustine, Luther, Calvin, the Puritans, but I have never invested alot of time into studying the last 2000 years of our faith.  And I enjoy history!  Lately I have been reading this book, and it has been such a blessing to me.  I would encourage anyone who reads this blog to take a look at Christian history and marvel at the power of our God, who has gone to amazing lengths to protect the glory of His name, the integrity of His Word, and the foundations of real faith.  It is great to consider the men and women who have sacrificed to preserve the true faith, and also how God used disgusting sin to preserve the true faith as well.  I believe that anyone who studies Christian history will come away with a greater appreciation for God’s sovereignty over all things, as well as His amazing grace and love.  Knowing history helps me to love the God of all history more!
