It has been said that “The only thing we learn from history is that we learn nothing from history.” Looking back over the history of the last 2,000 years of Christian testimony, Ian Jackson sounds an alarm for believers and assemblies in the present day, lest we lose our way by forgetting the lessons of the past. By going back to Scripture and then tracing the providential ways of God throughout history, Ian issues a much needed and eye-opening warning with a view to preserving his audience from repeating the mistakes of yesterday. The town to which Ian refers, where martyrs were burned at the stake in the reign of Mary Tudor, is Lewes in East Sussex. (Message preached in Ballymena 12th March 1994)
