SANCTIFY YOURSELF 3A
Why do we praise God? We praise him for who he is. We praise him for what he has done. We praise him for what he is doing. We praise him for what he can do. We praise him for what he will do.

Isa. 29:24, “They also that erred in spirit shall come to understanding, and they that murmured shall learn doctrine.” There is a way out. God does not write off anyone as long as the person is willing to learn and change. Isa. 30:1-3, “Woe to the rebellious children, saith the LORD, that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin.
