Church History

“…the ancient Christians who prayed for hours were, mostly, people who had organized their entire lives around that practice. The ordinary layperson in fourth-century Antioch prayed three times a day for a few minutes each.” - A Whole Soul

“It is important to note that both Wesley and Whitefield are just men who have weaknesses and struggles just like all men. Both are heroes of the faith who were faithful preachers of the gospel. There is no reason to gloss over the faults and failures of any preacher since all are sinners saved by grace.” - P&D

“Essentially, Eusebius gathered up the entire first three centuries of the faith and packaged them in his History, a book that still affords stimulating reading.” - Imaginative Conservative

“In 1672, the East held a Synod to respond to the Protestant Reformation… At Jerusalem, the East condemned the core tenets of the Reformation, canonized a false gospel, and declared that salvation was impossible outside the Orthodox church.” - Christ Over All

“We honestly hope that the next several minutes of conversation, pastor, will help you perhaps re envision the role that confessions of faith and other documents can play in the life of your church.” - TGC

“Did the Council of Nicaea invent the divinity of Jesus? Did a group of bishops in the fourth century determine which books belonged in the Bible? These are questions that apologists Wesley Huff and Andy Steiger addressed in the latest episode of their series ‘Can I Trust the Bible?’” - C.Leaders

“Few Christians in the eighteenth century wore as many vocational hats, and accomplished as much in so many different fields, as John Witherspoon. The question is whether all these hats held together. I think they did, perhaps just barely, but they did.” - Kevin DeYoung

“I do understand we as believers don’t want our holy days to be sullied by association with idolatry. And I want to state here at the outset that no one should call Easter Easter against his or her conscience. But I don’t think we ought to be upset about the word Easter. And here’s why.” - Mark Ward
