The Dark Ages
Even though of the growth of Christianity that even cause the Roman Empire to be Christianized, still there is a period of time of the Church History that emphasized more of cruelty and violence for the sake of Christianity. This was the period that was called "the Dark Ages." Even though of such violence that happened, Christianity even grew more that even lead to mass conversion of armies and even lots of people became Christians.
In reflecting my life after we discussed this during the sessions, I remember in mind that Christian is not an easy life. There are lots of struggles. I remember one preacher said that we are not exempted from struggles and we should even face it with boldness. But I reflect those times of life, that even though how great the struggle is, it still lead to victory that even it caused good even though how bad the situation will be. I remember that time that even in our Church Building that was attacked by fire on Sunday midnight, especially on the Pastor's Parsonage. No matter how it was difficult that time, a lot of Christians helped for the Church to rise up from that situation and to continue in the ministry.
In the times of hardship, I should be reminded always that I should always cling to God. I will believe that in spite of situations, I know that there is something good that will come. I will trust in God's Word that "Everything works for good to those who love God."
