In this Timeless Truths segment from our archives, counselor Judy Lucas gives some guidance to a woman who wants to know if her fiancé has truly repented of sexual sin.

There are many ways wives respond to a husband's sin. Some women pretend nothing is wrong. Others intensely monitor and try to control their husband's behavior. These reactions are natural, but they are not godly. In this episode of the Hope for Hurting Wives series, we'll look at four unhealthy reactions to a husband's sin, and then talk about what it looks like to react—not in a natural way, but in a godly way.

In this From the Chapel segment, Gabriel shares how a sight of Jesus on the cross opened him up to the reality of God's love and radically changed him.

When someone deeply hurts us, Satan tempts us in a very subtle way. He tempts us to obsess about their sins and to see ourselves as being better than they are. And if we don't guard our hearts, we can easily begin to judge them as being terrible sinners who are unworthy of mercy. It's a very dangerous place to be, and the only way to overcome this temptation is to stay at the foot of the cross.
