Repentance: The First Step
05/07/2020 Duration: 28min07.05.20 - Everyone's in a hurry. We seem to have an insatiable desire for the immediate and the casual.

Our Lord demands a slow, long, deliberate dedication to his ways; he expects a determined commitment and endurance that lasts a lifetime. Speaker: Allan Stanglin
