Show notes:

 

The crackdown in China on various Christian churches

• Early Rain Covenant church is Reformed Presbyterian
• We can pray for our brothers and sisters
• The Chinese governments is still hostile to Christianity

Overcoming Sin and Temptation

• Book by John Owen with editors Justin Taylor and Kelly Kapic
• Very wholesome book
• John Owen is the opposite of a perfectionist (in the doctrinal sense that we can become perfectionists)
• One of the blessings that comes from reading this is that he hates sin intensely

Harmartiology

• “Anatrepo” refers to the destructive effect of false teaching on wholesome Christian living
• 2 Tim. 2:18, Tit. 1:11
