Quotes About Fear

Our redemption through the suffering of Christ is that deeper love within us which not only frees us from slavery to sin, but also secures for us the true liberty of the children of God, in order that we might do all things out of love rather than out of fear - love for him that has shown us such grace that no greater can be found.

AIDS obliges people to think of sex as having, possibly, the direst consequences: suicide. Or murder.
