Sanctification
Kim Crawford Survey of Romans Spring 2009 Sanctification In the song, Refiner’s Fire, we sing “Refiner’s fire, my heart’s one desire, is to be holy, set apart for you Lord; I choose to be holy, set apart for You my Master, ready to do Your will” (Doerkson, 1990). To be holy and set apart for […]
