It makes all the difference in the world whether I view my neighbor as a potential convert or as someone whom God already loves.

Jesus was able to love men because he loved them right through the layer of mud.

When a couple encounters a crisis, it magnifies what's already present in the relationship.

Wounded people who have been broken by suffering and sickness ask for only one thing: a heart that loves and commits itself to them, a heart full of hope for them.

We vigilantly asked God to make our marriage and family (and the families of all those involved in the film) bulletproof against these incessant attacks.

That was something, wasn't it? Trust was a good place to start. Especially after the kind of betrayal she'd been through. It made him want to prove he was the kind of man she deserved. The kind of man who'd love her for better or worse. The kind who was faithful and true.
