This is who you hire

to run your marketing firm,

someone who seduces

your clients' wives.

I want him fired now.

John, when I promoted you

to Senior Executive

I thought you would be

able to represent me

and this company, I was wrong.

John, clear out

your desk, you're fired.

I want you out of this

building in an hour.

If I ever see you again,

we will settle this like men,

it is a promise.

I am sorry Mr. Budrow,

it won't happen again.

I'm going to handle

your account personally.

Mary!

Mary,

we need to talk.

That's an understatement.

You've been spying on me?

No, my mother actually.

There is something I need

to talk to you about.

So it's true and you

are having an affair?

Yes and no.

What?

Let me explain.

I am all ears.

Remember that girl

I told you about that

I dated in high school?

Yeah, it was

Adrian or something.

It's Adrianna.

So you slept with a

girl from high school?

...Honey, I didn't

sleep with anybody.

Okay, then who is the

girl in the pictures?

That's Adrianna.

What is going on John?

I didn't sleep with Adrianna,

but we did have a couple of

recent inappropriate meetings.

Define inappropriate?

Well, we met for coffee

and drinks a few times

and we even went out to dinner.

Well, that would make sense

of the credit card bills.

So you went to coffee

and dinner, that's it?

No,

I also kissed her.

How could you do

this to me, to us?

Baby, look, I'm...

I have changed.

I've accepted the

Lord into my heart.

Oh, you have, huh?

Why couldn't you have done that

before you went and

kissed some other woman?

Baby, please.

I want you to leave.

No, I don't want to talk,

I want you to leave.

Mary.

Now!

Dad, I've screwed

up everything, I blew it.

Oh, nothing can be that bad.

Have a seat;

I'll put on some tea.

Now, tell me what happened.

Remember Adrianna?

Adrianna, is

that the young girl

that you had the

crush on in high school?

Well, she moved back to town

and I've been seeing

her behind Mary's back.

I see.

Does Mary know?

I just told her.

And how did she take it?

Let me put it this way, can

I sleep on your couch tonight?

Son, you're always

welcome here.

Dad, I haven't been

living a righteous life,

and I'm not just talking

about the infidelity,

I'm talking about how I've

been living day to day.

I've been living my life

without a spiritual path,

but I'm changing.

I've asked Jesus to be my

personal Lord and savior,

and I've asked Him

into my heart

and I want all of my

decisions to honor Him.

Son, I am very proud of you.

You've made mistakes,

we all do,

but how you respond

to those mistakes,

that is most important.

The Bible says

in Titus 2:
11,

for the grace of God

has been revealed,

bringing salvation

to all people

and we are instructed

to turn away

from godless living

and sinful pleasures.

We should live in this

evil world with wisdom

and righteousness

and devotion to God.

You see, son, by your turning

your life over to Christ,

you've done just that.

You've turned away

from godlessness

and moved into His light.

But, how am I going

to get Mary back?

Now, son, that's...

that's not up to you,

that's up to her.

But what you need to do is

show her you're a changed man;

A man she can trust;

A man devoted to

serving the Lord;

A man devoted to serving her.

Would you pray with me son?

Our dear Heavenly Father, we

humbly come before you today

to pray for John.

Mary!

Mary!

Mary!

Mary!

Mary!

Hey bud, sorry for

just dropping in,

due to what happened

at the office yesterday.

Oh no, it's good

to see you, come in.

So she's gone to her

mother's house, huh?

Yeah.

I think I've lost her forever.

No, I don't believe that.

She is just hurt and

probably pretty ticked off.

What have I done?

Oh, well, for starts, you've

admitted your shortcomings

and you've committed

your life to Christ, wow!

What good is committing

my life to Christ

if I've lost my marriage?

Man, I don't know if you

ever had a marriage to lose.

What are you talking about?

I know you had a wedding,

you went on a honeymoon,

probably had all the trimmings;

Probably got a marriage

license hanging on a wall

around here someplace.

I mean, that's just

material stuff,

I'm talking about a

Christ centered marriage.

What's that mean?

Well, that's when both

the husband and the wife

are united in Christ.

It's all about foundation.

Foundation?

Yeah, you know, when

you build something

you have to have something

rock solid to attach it to.

Building a marriage

is no different.

I've lost everything;

My job, my wife,

Allen, I'm a man

who has hit rock bottom.

That is such great news;

I mean, that's like praise

the Lord, great news!

Okay, how is that great news?

Because that's the

beauty of rock bottom,

you've got no place

else to go but up.

Oh, come on John,

can't you see?

The night is always

darkest before the dawn.

You've made a

commitment to Christ;

You've taken the first step.

John, my friend,

this is your dawn.

And I know what

my next step is.

Oh yeah, what?

I'm going to go

get my wife back.

Yeah.
