Weeks of continuous discussions about dark ages and church fathers. Of all those topics, my mind came across an idea that not all people dare to walk the path where our church fathers had walked on. Let me introduced to you three church fathers who became the constant topic of our class for weeks, these were Clement of Rome, Eusebius and Athanasius who were reported by my classmates. The Francs also made a huge impact in our Christianity. Charles the hammer and Charlemagne played an important role in spreading of Christianity in Europe.

These people speak with conviction upon what they believed and they remained on their ground. No one can make them moved even the influential people in their time. The conviction and passion built in them was enough reason why until now their influence remains. As I look at myself and try to examine my conviction, I am greatly encouraged to figure out things that convicted me to continue. The Lord has put in each of the heart of his people that conviction about him that no matter where his people are located, they stand firm.
The absolutes of the Word of God should be the guide for people in making decisions. Yet traditions of humanity trampled the very absolute truth of God’s Word. Back again to examining the beneath part of me. Am I adhering to the absolutes or am I just staying and living in complacency? Those questions help me and remind to constantly examine myself.
