"And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye?" - Acts 19:15
In a time when any deviation from the Papal religion meant certain death, many Christians struggled to remain faithful to our Lord -- but those who endeavored to serve as shepherds over those of the Protestant Reformed church - whose steadfast work kept the fire of faith burning in the hearts of so many of their scattered, persecuted flocks - were regarded with such special hatred and contempt by Church authorities that every devilish tactic that could be devised was used to track down and silence all these who dared oppose their authority by seeking to fulfill Christ's Great Commission to "go ye into all the world".
Here is one such example of what true Christian heroism looks like: the story of Pastor Claude Brousson and the 17th century persecutions of God's faithful in France.

Does the devil know who you are?
