On Love (Chapter One)  When Love Stops By... Do Pursue Even if it Persecutes. When it Drowns You, Drown, Drown, Drown in its Drunkenness. Though the Waters may Engulf  every Breath of Your Being. When Love Declares. Listen. Though his Whispers Disintegrates your Wishes

Today in Christian History

Today is Tuesday, January 29th, the 29th day of 2019. There are 336 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History:

570: (probable date) Death of Gildas, thought to have been an abbot, who gave us the earliest history we have of the British Celts. Because of the scarcity and inaccuracy of records from that era, the date and place of both his birth and death will remain uncertain into the twenty-first century.

1430: (probable date) Death of Andrei Rublev at Andronikov Monastery. He will be considered the greatest medieval Russian painter of icons and Christian frescoes.

1555: Agents of Mary Tudor degrade and condemn the Protestant bishop John Hooper along with John Rogers, Rowland Taylor, and other preachers of the Reformation. Hooper will be executed the following month.

1663: Death of Robert Sanderson, bishop of Lincoln, whose biography was included as one of Izaak Walton’s Lives. Siding with the Royalists, Sanderson had been deprived of his living after the Puritans took power during the Commonwealth.

1877: Death in New York of Sarah Doremus, sometimes called the “Mother of Missions” because of her strenuous efforts in behalf of foreign missions.

1882: “Cotty” Peabody arrives in Tombstone a few months after the shootout at O.K. Corral where he will establish Arizona territory’s first Protestant church.

1918: Death in Chicago of Sarah Dunn Clarke, co-founder of the Pacific Garden Mission and its "mother."

1921: The Congregational Holiness Church is formally organized in High Shoals, Georgia, following a split the previous year with the Pentecostal Holiness Church.

1929: Death in Baxter Springs, Kansas, of Charles Fox Parham, early American Pentecostal innovator and theologian.

2005: Bulus Marwa becomes the pastor of Victory Baptist Church, Alamuderi, Maiduguri, Nigeria, where he will serve until December 24, 2010, when members of the militant Muslim group Boko Haram will murder him along with several other Christians.

Saul Persecutes the Church

Saul Persecutes the Church

Acts 8:1-4

8:1 Now Saul was consenting to his death.

At that time a great persecution arose against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles. 2 And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentation over him.

3 As for Saul, he made havoc of the church, entering every house, and dragging off…
