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
