Every generation has an uncanny tendency to view themselves as more enlightened than those that have gone before. The Church certainly has made mistakes all through history - and yet, no insights which we possess would be possible without the efforts, and even some of the mistakes, of our ancestors. The first volume of 2,000 Years of Christ's Power covers the period from the 1st Century AD to the start of the Middle Ages.

Betsy Stevenson is praying fervently for a change. But when a big part of her prayer is answered she asks the Lord, “Is this really You?

After much more prayer and preparation Betsy agrees and they begin the journey to downsize into a 38 foot 5th wheel. Then their RV adventure begins.

The book Singing in the Early Church argues that Christian singing began as Word-filled, Christ-centered, congregational praise, not entertainment or religious performance. The early church sang because Christ had come, died, risen, and conquered death. Its song was the voice of redeemed sinners confessing the truth of God together.

It argues that the first Christians almost certainly sang the Old Testament Psalms, likely the Passover/...

Athanasius rightly knew that upon one’s view of Christ hung one’s eternal destiny. As he wrote to the bishops of Egypt in 356: “as therefore the struggle that is now set before us concerns all that we are, either to reject or to keep the faith, let us be zealous and resolve to guard what we have received, bearing in mind the confession that was written down at Nicaea.” And, by God’s grace, his victory in that struggle has been of enormous blessing to the church ever since.

For centuries, Gnostic teachings were hunted, censored, and buried by the rising powers of early Christianity.

They introduce us to his warm pastoral concern for the spiritual and theological...
