“I know several couples who experienced adultery in their marriages, but because in each case there was a wife who was willing to pray and a husband open to allowing God to change and restore him, the marriages are still intact and successful today. Only prayer, a submitted heart, and the transforming power of the Holy Spirit can work those kinds of miracles.” KnowsHeartKindStillsTodaySpiritPrayerCasesSuccessfulWifeWillingPrayingCoupleHolyHusbandMiracleHoly SpiritAllowingAdulteryTransforming Book:The Power of a Praying® Wife Source: The Power of a Praying® Wife

“As much as we - in a revisionist way - tell ourselves that we've always been a righteous country with a couple of swerves off the path, we need to look back and see that we've always also been a racist country and have had a tendency towards banal aggressiveness. The thing that's alarming is not so much that a few people in America at the top are initiating these crazy policies, but that the middle is willing to go there too. There's a strange movement of the middle to this position of banal aggressiveness.” PeopleWayNeedsLooksCountryAmericaPathCrazyMiddlePolicyMovementPositionStrangeWillingCoupleTendenciesRacistRighteousAggressivenessSwerve Author:George Saunders
