Show notes:
The problem created by perfectionists/purists
- God is perfect not a perfectionist
- Purists are often the enemy for growth
- Purists wanted to go back to the glories of Rome in the time of Augustine.
- When you overreach you find yourself being the instrument of your beloved’s death
The Reformation in England
- Written by Merle d’Aubigné
- d’Aubigné is a 19th-century historian
- A Christian historian ought not to tell dishonest inspirational “Christian” stories
- Great homeschool resource!
Harmartema
