It seems to me that groups never learn from history because the leaders of those groups refuse to learn from history.

Unfortunately, many of the leaders in the church seem to learn more from the nations, rather than from the Lord. He has instructed us to serve, rather than to rule as the Gentiles. Apparently they never got that memo.
