There has always been a remnant who have not bowed the knee to Baal, that is, not believed in a sect that called itself the only church of Christ that goes by the name Roman Catholic Church. Throughout history the Lord has preserved His remnant, groups of people here and there who have always believed in what is now called the Reformed faith, although their history predates Luther, Calvin and the Protestant Reformation by 1500 years.
Reformed means to be “re-formed,” formed again, forming the church back to what it was originally, following the Bible as the standard of faith and practice.
What happened that changed the church of the apostles into the church of the pope?

Great God of the church. A good reminder that God had always a faithful remnant of believers in history, that Satan cannot destroy the church.

Great Message Part of the sermon relates the story of the Scottish Covenanter......
"Richard Cameron (Covenanter) being among the slain, his head and hands were cut off, and carried to Edinburgh, along with the prisoners, among whom was the celebrated Mr Hackstoun of Rathillet. It happened that the father of Cameron was at this time in prison for non-conformity. The head was shown to the old man, with the question, "Did he know to whom it had belonged." He seized the bloody relics with the eagerness of parental affection, and, kissing them fervently, exclaimed, "I know, I know them; they are my son's, my own dear son's: it is the Lord; good is the will of the Lord, who cannot wrong me or mine, but has made goodness and mercy to follow us all our days.""
Now that is a Christian Witness! God be praised.
