Final post…
#6 – Stop Looking At Other Houses!
The thing a lot of people do when they begin to build a house is look at other houses and covet things about that house instead of being thankful for the one they have.
The same is true with pastors…the reason so many are falling is they are buying satans lie that “the grass is greener on the other side,” not realize that the only reason that is so is because that grass is over the septic tank.
Job 31:1…dude, memorize it, get it tattooed on your face, do whatever you need to do…but STOP looking at other women and thinking, “I did everything wrong with my wife…but if I could start over with her then things would be awesome.”
Not true…if you started over with her you would still be the weak, pathetic wus that you are right now…the one who would run when the heat gets turned up, the one who would care more about your feelings than the wake of destruction you would leave, the one who would refuse to repent and then uses God’s grace as an excuse to continue to sin.
Bottom line…if you run from this marriage you will run from the one you think will be awesome!!! Stop LOOKING and “your dream house” and make the one you’ve got right now YOUR DREAM HOUSE!!!
The dude who was consumed with sex and himself was never used by God to do great things…ever!
One more thing…
Some pastors might not be about to have an affair or jump out of their marriage…but you are addicted to porn. Dude…it’s sin, you know it…and you need to get help because it WILL destroy your marriage. Trust me…as a former porn addict I know the damage it will cause. You’ve GOT to stop looking at other men’s daughters like that…and, if you need help, get help.
Final Thoughts…
I know I came across as strong in some of these posts…I meant to. Because, in the end, I have a heart for pastors…and I want to see more, not less, cross the finish line and be able to say, “I have fought the good fight…I have kept the faith.”
It’s NEVER been easy to give up on marriage that it is right now…and that’s why I am calling on ALL pastors and church leaders to do whatever we can to make sure our marriages are healthy.
No one wants to see another ministry destroyed because the pastor could not keep it in his pants!!! AND…if we are going to call the men in our churches to high standards of integrity then we’ve GOT to lead the way.
