Providential View of History
a loving God is actively involved in
the affairs of men and nations
working to bring about His loving
purposes for them.
History is the record
of an encounter
between character
and circumstance.
Donald Creighton
God is always at work:
A start of a change of
thinking, teaching, direction
of the Kingdom of God
(Church) with a new
understanding or awakening
of God and His Word, a small
start of revival in learning,
art, literature.
What was happening?
Better to die
well than to live
poorly
