Quote of the Week: Sproul

There is much to be learned through a serious study of the history of the world and the history of the Christian faith, and how other generations and other societies have understood the Word of God and its application to their life situation. By doing that, we’ll readily see elements of scriptural instruction that the church of all ages has understood not to be limited to the immediate hearers of the biblical message but to have principle application down through the ages. RC Sproul, The Applicability of God's Word.

Nearly all the quotations I post every week come from my reading in the previous week.  Sometimes what I'm reading reminds me of something else I've read and I'll go find that quote.  Today's quote is a bit of a departure; I just read this article by RC Sproul this morning and thought it was a good one to share.  I have a strong desire to study church history (thanks, Kim!) and American History.  Doesn't the world seem crazy right now?  I think a study of God's Word, Church History, American History, and World History is just the ticket right now.  I'm thinking of a way to incorporate all four of those topics in my reading starting this fall.

Any ideas on how to structure that?  Anyone want to join me?

I think it's an excellent idea! I think it's good to be reading other kinds of history alongside church history.
