<p>It was in China that a shattering innovation was developed which was to change the whole way of warfare. In a Chinese book of the 11th century there is a formula for an incendiary mixture which contains, among other ingredients, charcoal, saltpetre and sulphur. These three chemicals are the component parts of gunpowder. By the 13th century the Chinese had come to appreciate the explosive qualities of gunpowder and were using a very crude form of firearm. It was no more than a strengthened bamboo tube which may have discharged a clay bullet, but this was the prototype of the 16-inch naval gun or the modern aircraft's battery of cannon.</p>

The Next Seven Great Events

Randal Ross

"Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed in Him, 'If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.' They answered Him, 'We are Abraham's descendants, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How can You say, "You will be made free"?' Jesus answered them, 'Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin. And a slave does not abide in the house forever, but a son abides forever. Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.'" (John 8:31-36)Jesus came that we might be free and that we might have life to the fullest (John 10:10). But why is it that so many Christians aren't experiencing His freedom in their daily lives? Why do so many of us still feel chained to old habits, to our anger, to bitterness, to depression, and to the difficulty of walking out our lives before God?In The Journey to Freedom, you'll explore just that. You'll take a look at your life's journey by examining where you've been, where you are today, and where you're going, to find out just how to live in the freedom Christ promised.
