This week on Wisdom Wednesday, Dr. David Irving, President of RTS Jackson and Assistant Professor of Church History and Pastoral Theology, answers the question, “How does church history encourage us?” Church history reminds us that Christians throughout the ages have faced discouragement, opposition, and concern for the state of the church. It also shows us that God has always upheld his people, provided for them, and continued to strengthen and grow his church, even during the darkest seasons.
