Convince Quote by Russell M. Stendal
““The Lord can lead us into many circumstances where it is extremely important to do exactly as he says. We are not to just repeat what someone taught us in some course or seminar. God knows how the difficult people of this world operate. We cannot win by arguing with them. The only way to convince them is to work and operate according to the ways of the Lord.””
