patience.

in our microwave generation we have forgotten how to be patient, which reflects on our agendas and strategies for preaching the Gospel. 

"salvation" is like stoichiometry, it isn't just a direct or immediate conversion. its a process, with many steps. 

however, this is to say conversion is not immediate, conversion as in lifestyle or in biblical terms, sanctification.

disclaimer: faith which leads to actual salvation is immediate, in an instant, because you either believe one thing or not. like taste-buds, you don't have a choice what tastes good.
