Working alone in Mongolia, he poured out his heart to his diary: "preached to 24,000 people, treated 7,500 patients, distributed 10,000 books and tracts...and out of all this there are only two men who have openly confessed Christ." ]]></description>

    <dc:creator>CHRISTIAN_HISTORY</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["Christ longs for our comfort." This was an essential idea of St. Thérèse of Lisieux. Christ suffered so much for us longs to be comforted by us. To comfort him means to compensate him for evil, to do our best to make up for the pain he bore, to convert blasphemers into believers. It is to love and embrace Christ above all things. ]]></description>

    <dc:creator>CHRISTIAN_HISTORY</dc:creator><description><![CDATA["All hail the power of Jesus' name," sang the triumphant radio crew. It was on this day, June 4, 1948. The triumph was a triumph of God's grace and provision. If such a story can be said to have a precise beginning, the story of the Far East Broadcasting company began in December, 1945. Three men, John C. Broger, Robert H. Bowman and William J. Roberts pooled their resources--a measly $1,000--to form a non-profit, international Christian broadcasting company. The men had known each other a long time and had often discussed and prayed about the possibilities. ]]></description>

    <dc:creator>CHRISTIAN_HISTORY</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[ It was Alexander Cruden's odd way of showing his loyalty to King George III and cleaning up morals. George had given the poor, half-mad scholar £100 for dedicating the second edition of his Bible Concordance to him. But the king's government was not popular. When John Wilkes published a vicious and dirty-minded attack against the king in issue number 45 of the North Briton, "No. 45" became the rallying cry of the opposition. Cruden was doing his bit to clean up culture. ]]></description>

The noble-born Englishman had risen to the leadership of the school at York, earning himself an international reputation. Charles convinced him to share his talents with his empire and bestowed on him the abbeys of Ferrières and St. Loup. Steeped in the pedagogical tradition of Bede, Alcuin stirred the Franks to acquire the little learning they were to possess in the so called "Dark Ages." ]]></description>

Her youth was one long social whirl, although she did well in school and became a competent musician. She had sought God at a young age and even become involved in church work, but had never known Him as a presence in her life. A bout with scarlet fever nearly killed her and left her virtually deaf for several days. This forced her to acknowledge her purposeless ways. When her hearing returned, she praised God. From then on, she was His. ]]></description>

He also learned the art of a goldsmith and was trained in his craft by a godly metal worker. He became so skilled at his vocation that the King of France made him master of the mint and bestowed many gifts upon him. But wealth never turned Eligius' head. If at first he dressed in rare silks, after a while he took to wearing simple garb with a rope belt. Whenever the king gave him fine gifts, he passed them along to the needy. ]]></description>

While in Paris he met Ignatius Loyola. This encounter transformed Xavier's life and propelled him into a life of prodigious labor for Christ. Loyola had recently undergone a conversion and turned from the pleasures of a grandee to wholehearted service for Christ and the Pope. His enthusiasm was contagious, and Xavier, after some resistance, abandoned his professorship, bound himself to evangelism, poverty, chastity and obedience. With a few other companions, they founded the Society of Jesus, more commonly known as the Jesuits. ]]></description>

His book was one of the first German histories authored by a German, although even then it was written in Latin, the language of scholarship.

Organizations that grow too rapidly can get stretch marks, too. That was the case with the Welsh Methodists in the early 1740s. Converts were coming in so fast that revival leaders were unsure how to manage the growing number of "societies" (groups of believers). The problem needed immediate attention. Field preacher Howell Harris wrote to George Whitfield, pleading for guidance. "We are all like little children, not knowing what to do," he said. ]]></description>

St. Basil, who died on this day, January 1, 379 (probable date), is said to have done just that. When Roman Emperor Julian asked Basil to join his court, he refused because Julian had turned his back on Christianity. Emperor Julian was so angry, he fined Basil l,000 pounds of gold--equivalent to nearly $6 million dollars. Basil laughed off the fine as ridiculous, and reminded Julian that the two had studied scriptures together as schoolboys. ]]></description>

She rushed to the staircase to greet her parents--and lost her footing. In front of her mother's horrified eyes, she fell over the bannister onto the hard tile floor to her death. Josephine would never erase that haunting sight from her memory. "It was pitiful to see her, helpless in her father's arms, her little drooping head resting on his shoulder and her beautiful golden hair all stained with blood, falling over his arm!" But rather than retire into a half-mad world of grief and nostalgia, she turned her attention outward. " became possessed with an irresistible urge to go forth and find some pain keener than my own, to meet with people more unhappy than myself." ]]></description>

Borrowing from several earlier architectural styles, Anthemius of Tralles and Isidorus of Miletus created the masterpiece of sixth-century Byzantium. Although they were not professional architects, Emperor Justinian chose them, presumably because they had helped construct some of his military works. At any rate, they applied mathematics to the structure in a manner new to architectural design. The result was a work of grace and beauty. ]]></description>

Wilson wrote, "How often people make the mistake of believing the facts without applying them to their own hearts! To acknowledge the truth of the Gospel is not sufficient; it must be applied to the soul and accepted personally in order to have value. The fact that Christ is a wonderful Savior is a blessed truth. Each one, however, must come to Him personally and accept Him as his own personal Lord and Savior (John 1:12). To believe that a doctor is able to prescribe the proper remedy is only to acknowledge the truth of the facts. To engage the doctor to handle your own case, and to take charge of you and your disease, brings the application of the facts to your own life. Do not miss heaven by missing the Savior!" ]]></description>

The problem was, British law forbade consecration of anyone who would not swear loyalty to the crown. ]]></description>

    <dc:creator>CHRISTIAN_HISTORY</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[James (Jacob) Arminius was uneasy with some of the teachings that had come to be identified with Calvinism. Did God really choose some men to be damned before he created them? Was Christ's death only intended for those who would finally be saved? Does God exercise his sovereignty so fully that man has no choice in his own salvation? Does regeneration come first and then repentance? As the professor of theology at Leyden, James had promised to teach only those things which conformed to the confessions of faith of the state church of the Netherlands. These were Calvinist. In his public teaching, Arminius kept his word, but he laid out Scripture readings in such a way as to cast doubt on Calvin's theology (which was heavily indebted to Augustine of Hippo). ]]></description>

In desperation, he resorted to prayer and received the gift of understanding, becoming a brilliant scholar. John Duns Scotus was born in Duns, Scotland around 1265. A virtuous young man, he joined the Franciscans as a teenager and was ordained to the priesthood in 1291. He devoted his life to theology and philosophy, studying and teaching at the great universities of the day. ]]></description>

    <dc:creator>CHRISTIAN_HISTORY</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[All of Rome waited in expectation. For months, Michelangelo Buonarroti had worked in secret. Curiosity was aflame. What had he accomplished? Had he succeeded in transferring his skill as a sculptor to work with fresco (paint in plaster)? Pope Julius II, as impatient as ever, demanded that Michelangelo unveil the ceiling of the Sistine chapel although it was far from done. High on the scaffolding, his face just inches from the ceiling, paint dripping into his eyes, Michelangelo had completed only the central vault.Julius prevailed. Down came the scaffold, erected with such labor. On this day, November 1, 1509, the public surged into the chapel to see what Michelangelo had wrought. ]]></description>

The person who could get him those rights was Napoleon III. The only problem was, Napoleon III was on the battlefield in Italy. Dunant did not let that deter him, but set out for Napoleon's headquarters at Solferino in Northern Italy. Thanks to that bold venture, this Christian-influenced businessman became the first person ever to win the Nobel Peace Prize. ]]></description>

On this day, October 26, 1973, the University of Chicago awarded Ken Pike an honorary doctorate degree. His linguistic work had enabled non-experts to systematically crack foreign languages. That was a measure of success. But if he had given in to early fears and failures, how different his story would have been! In 1928, when Ken was sixteen, his father contracted an infection and nearly died. The boy, who was working at a supermarket at the time, promised God he would become a minister if only his Dad lived. When his Dad got better, Ken knew he must keep his promise.]]></description>

Her wealth allowed her to admire herself in dresses that glittered with diamond dust. She and her businessman husband, Sidney Whittemore, moved among the elite of New York, unaware of anything missing in themselves. One afternoon, Emma's friend, Miss Kelly, persuaded her to hear an evangelist. Completely on his own, Sidney went too. Neither had the slightest idea the other would be there. Both were stirred by the message and went down to the mourner's bench. ]]></description>

This has not stopped rash theologians from announcing dates. All have subsequently been disappointed by events. One of the most prominent prediction makers was Baptist preacher William Miller. Miller gained a large following, predicting that Christ would return on this day, October 22, 1844. His theories were not far-fetched if one accepted interpretations in vogue through much of church history.]]></description>

    <dc:creator>CHRISTIAN_HISTORY</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Religion was taken seriously in the seventeenth century in Europe and America because most people still believed that their faith dealt with issues of truth, not simply the opinions of men. In the colony of Massachusetts there were strict laws governing the religious beliefs of society. If you didn't agree with those beliefs, the colonial leaders thought you should go live somewhere else.
Quakers were frequently asked to leave Massachusetts. The group had been founded in the 1640s by the Englishman George Fox. After finding no peace for his soul in the churches of his day, Fox had begun to give up all hope when he had the experience of a voice speaking to him.]]></description>
