David was a student of history. His meditation of God’s wonderful acts in the generations of His people encouraged him in his own struggles. Therefore he recounts God’s victories and mighty acts to other generations that they too may glorify God and be motivated to work for His kingdom. “One of David’s greatest joys was the historical task.”- ANTITHESIS, Vol. I, No. 1, p. 2. We have the same task. But because it has been neglected or shirked by generations of Christians in the Twentieth Century, the Church has lost ground and been compromised in her witness. Recapturing this sense of history is essential to the renewal of the Church and the strengthening of her witness in the Twenty-First Century.
