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

• Looking at the New Testament word harmartema
• Mark 3:28, 4:12, Rom. 3:25, 1 Cor. 6:18
