Church history teaches us that each generation of Christians will face unique assaults upon biblical

truth. These attacks rarely manifest as open rebellion to core Christian doctrine, but instead,

especially in our age, often take the form of subversive, deception, and misplaced emphasis. They wear the guise of love,

Music the fiercest. All right, well, welcome back. Good to be here. We're going to discuss today and get into a

little bit of church history. It was hadn't planned it, but last week you mentioned,

So we're going to look at a couple case studies and then get into not just the past, not just looking in the past and going, oh, hindsight's 20-20. Shouldn't have done that, shouldn't have done this. But in the last segment, getting into, what are the current issues where the battle

rages the fiercest now? So we're going to jump into some history, old Princeton specifically. We're

going to look as well at the Anglican Church, the Episcopal Church, their decline. And then where

right now do Christians need to take the strongest stand on biblical truth? So the first example we're going to get into, and it's a really interesting time period

in history.

So you had the Reformation in the 15th century, and what exploded out of there was a lot of great
