Good afternoon Col Burroughs and all of my brothers and sisters here on VFV. The road to salvation comes from the persuasion of God’s Word, from His grace. Have a blessed day today and always.

Persuasion is an effective tool that leaders have available, but only if it aligns with their prior beliefs and actions.
