On Today in Church His-Story (Episode 40) we commemorate February 26, 398. On this date, John Chrysostom, the golden mouthed preacher of the early church, was ordained as Bishop of Constantinople. This expositor of the early Greek fathers left a legacy of bold preaching. His boldness led to blessing as well as sacrifice. His life and commitment to preaching sound theology, while also calling for holy living, is a reminder to all expository preachers that preaching Scripture faithfully always comes with a cost.
