Repentance
Turning Lust Into Love
2016
SYNOPSIS:The Ladder, Step 05.26 Repentance. "I have seen impure souls raving madly about physical love; but making their experience of such love a reason for repentance, they transferred the same love to the Lord; and, overcoming all fear, they spurred themselves insatiably on to the love of God."Using the energy of lust to love God and conquer lust. A discussion about shifting the paradigm. Very few who have lust struggle against it effectively. St John Climacus offers us another way. Will you try it?
