The Negative Confession: Learning to Stand Against Error in Our Own Era
On Today in Church His-Story (Episode 46) we discover the significance of the Second Scottish Confession, otherwise known as the Negative Confession. The signing of this document on January 28, 1581 reminds the church of her duty to not only stand up for what she believes in an era of error, but to also stand up for what she is against. We do this with firm confidence that our King stands with us when we stand with truth.
The USA: A Country Birthed By Calvinists
On Today in Church His-Story (Episode 33) we take a trip down the St. John’s River in Florida via the Atlantic Ocean. Our port of departure was in France where we’ve been commissioned by the French government to establish a colony for religious freedom. But on September 20, 1565 Pedro Menendez, the Spanish Commander, was sent by Phillip II to destroy the men, women, and children in this permanent settlement in the United States. The settlement was not Jamestown or Plymouth Rock, but Fort Caroline. The settlers were Calvinists. Learn about this rarely spoken about event in church history and why it matters for today.
