15:12 - As a Protestant/Evangelical convert (coming up on 11 years ago), I wrestled with all the normal stuff: Mary, the Saints, Icons etc. But this was really the biggest roadblock for me. If this is it, if this is THE Church, the true Faith, how is it that none of my family or devout friends are here on this journey with me? How is it I ended up here? The only answer is the sheer mercy and goodness of God. But it still troubles me. Why aren't these other people I know, who are devout and love God more faithfully than I, not finding their way into the Church?
wow thanks
