Without the gospel we hate ourselves instead of our sin.

Only with time do we really learn who the other person is and come to love the person for him- or herself and not just for the feelings and experiences they give us.

Marriage has the power to set the course of your life as a whole. If your marriage is strong, even if all the circumstances in your life around you are filled with trouble and weakness, it won't matter. You will be able to move out into the world in strength.

The sin under all other sins is a lack of joy in Christ.

The prerequisite for receiving the grace of God is to know you need it.
