[[Conversion]] often is [[perceived]] as a singular [[event]] where [[renewal]] is perceived as a continuing, recurring [[process]]. In [[light]] of our stairway I emphasize to you that conversion is also a recurring process and, itself, is [[two]]-phased. The first phase is like your traversing the stairway tread and reaching the riser where you need to climb again following the [[plateau]] of [[attainment]]. Here is the critical [[moment]] of [[decision]] where you encounter [[reluctance]], willingness to remain [[secure]], unwillingness to face new [[doubts]]. The ease of not having to struggle is a [[temptation]] to avoid the climb.
