During this week we discuss the church and the State. It is during the time of Constantine that Christianity spread out because he is the first emperor of Rome who tolerated Christianity. He issued a decree that is called Edict of Melan that stop the persecution of the Christians.
God used evil to accomplish his purpose. I don't really know if Constantine is truly a Christian but the only thing I know that he make a decree for political purpose. He made that because Christians are too many in his kingdom even if they are persecuted before he became an emperor. Even with that, through him God help Christianity spread out faster in the empire. I learned that even in the darkest age of our life God has it's on purpose with it. People who are not a believer can be used by God to prevail His purpose.
