To know that history from God's perspective is to be encouraged and to be fearful toward this God. To not know that history from a providential perspective is to have it perverted and so you have a perverted view of God. We have a “happy, happy, happy” view of God in many churches today, which says that God is just so loving and kind, and whatever happens, He will just help you get along, so don't worry about it. Powerful piece...This speaks to the power of the Reformation washed away by erosion caused by the drip drip of man centered reilgion!...Bookmarked, and bumpted...for discussion Sola Scriptura, Solus Christus, Sola Gratia, Sola Fide, Sola Deo Gloria. I havn't had a chance to read the piece yet, but as for history, it was crucial to remember!
Thus, the importance of the Old Testament in understanding how God works with nations historically that reject Him even His beloved Israel!
History is really His Story
