Still those of us who cling to God’s faithful promise of a changed nature, have done, and are doing bad things. We tend to compare our grains of life with the grains of those people around us as though we are scoring a school examination.

What about someone who willfully clings to bad grains in their life even though they know the truth?

There will be no small number who will attempt this folly.
