In this episode, we discuss the perseverance of the saints. God is faithful to preserve his own in Christ. We consider a number of passages of Scripture, along with the confessions. Some good questions get thrown out, like: What about when Christians sin–a lot, for a long time?

Member Podcast Description: In this episode, we talk about ways assurance is undermined. We talk pastorally about how to counsel and love struggling sinners. And, a few punchy comments are made about habitual sins.
