Some believers are ‘rivers of living water’ long after they die. They do good by their books and writings in every part of the world, long after the hands which held the pen are mouldering in the dust…these blessed servants of God do more good probably by their books at this moment, than they did by their tongues when they were alive. ‘Being dead they yet speak’ ~ JC Ryle Holiness

In every age there have been REAL followers of Christ. The objective of the Christian historian is to see and trace the goodness of God taking care of His church in every age by His providence.

What is an Evangelical?
“The evangelical starts with the Bible. He is a man of the Bible. He is a man of the Book. This is his only authority, and he submits himself in everything to this.” 

Martin Lloyd-Jones
