When You've Done Something You Swore You'd Never Do

Contributed by Jim Butcher on Aug 24, 2004

Hesitation

Contributed by Lou Nicholes on Nov 12, 2004

Just as the Israelites were hesitant to clear out all the wicked people, it is easy for me to be hesitant to clear out all the sin that may be in my life.
