16th Century Life Here Today

The state of our world makes us grieve wherever you look out, all are so sad sometimes one thinks its never been this but in the 1500s then it was just as bad People living back then felt it too being in such a disturbed state they were so troubled in their mind even then wondered why so much hate God is rejected all over the world especially here in the worldly west being openly despised and rejected His believers continually put to the test The devil is at the heart of it all planning and scheming evil's wickedness his way reveals plotting to be anti-christ seeking out those full of idleness John Calvin lived in the 1500s seeing and knowing such a troubled time a stalwart for God's eternal truths take heart from his godly principled rhyme (Quote: "When we see the world in such a disturbed state, our minds are deeply troubled by the fact that there are many who openly despise God, and who seems to have plotted with the devil to indulge in every kind of evil".) John Calvin (1509-1564)

Hmm..I know something of Calvin Gordon.' I Am of Armenian leanings.' Yet obviously I see Commonality with our current epoch.' May God bless your pen.'

Thanks Joe, Glad you liked this and even we would not be on same wavelength as I'm of Calvanist leanings but good we can see some points of agreement. God bless your writings, Gordon
