I have had talks with other men about man’s struggles with the sin of Adultery for many years now, ever since I was a teenager to be exact. Something that I found in all the discussions I have had is that more often than not, men don’t have a lot of hope with victory over this problem. I remember being with my youth group during a cell group night (which is a night where the youth break up into small groups and pray for each other, talk about life, and have fun together) and we talked for over an hour strait listening to married men with children talk about the problems of Lust in their lives and the lives of young men and older men, and not once was there ever any hope of a solution. In fact he ended his talk by asking us, the younger men; so what do you do? One guy piped up and said we should all become monks and live away from woman, but to be honest, woman are not the problem. In fact women have the same problem as men do, in other ways of course but none the less it’s the same stream that we are both drinking from. I want to see and hear people who God has given grace and understanding too, to being to disciple other man and woman into adultery free lives in Christ. Believe me there is so much more I want to say about this right now, but this will have to do for today.
God Bless
