In our experience, as believers practice loving attitudes and behavior toward others inside and outside their faith community, unchurched friends and family don't have to be talked into church participation. They seek it out, drawn by the promise of love.

What greater thing is there for two human souls, than to feel that they are joined for life- to strengthen each other in all labor, to rest on each other in all sorrow, to minister to each other in all pain, to be one with each other in silent unspeakable memories ...

The only cure for so much misfortune is love. It's not the force of gravity that keeps the universe in balance, but the binding power of love.

In necessary things, unity; in doubtful things, liberty; in all things, charity.
