“But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not
the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any
person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I
require at the watchman’s hand.” [Ezekiel 33:6]
“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but
against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of
this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” [Ephesians 6:12]

The Christian Institute’s special video
series on The
English Reformation and the Puritans, in collaboration with Ligonier Ministries, is now in its third
week.
The current week’s episode is
on Edward VI and Mary I. With the nine-year-old Edward on the throne, England
is poised for an intentional Reformation.
In his twelve-part series, Dr.
Reeves surveys Puritan theology and the work of the Holy Spirit when the
Reformation flourished in England.
Major milestones of this
movement underscore the Puritans' special place in history, as they displayed
spiritual wisdom and discernment, still benefiting pulpits and believers today.
